GERMAN COMMUNIQUE.
LONDON, October 24,
A wireless German official states: A counter -attack almost completely rejected the enemy from our defences on the southern edge of Houlthulst Wood. The French between the Ailette and Jstel heights encountered strong resistance, and did not advance owing to heavy losses. Reinforcements later, supported by armoured oars, broke our positions, reaching AHemant and Chavignon. We withdrew from 1 untenable positions, blowing up adlvanced batteries. Simultaneously repented assaults southwards of Fillajn, also between Bray and Allies failed.
Between Riga Gulf and the Dviua we withdrew on Sunday without interruption.
On a wide front, Austro-Germans this morning- captured foremost Italian positions near Plitchtolmina, also the northern portion of Bainsizza.
