BRITISH DOGGEDLY HOLD GAINS THUS FAR MADE Magnitude of Battle Reaches the Grade of Gigantic Effort Before Verdun. LARGE FORCES REPULSED. London, Dec. 4.—“From Gonne- lieu to Marcoing,” Field Marshal Haig’s report from France to- night says, “the enemy delivered attacks in great strength with large forces and has been repulsed with heavy losses.” With the British Army in France Dec. 4.—(By Associated Press Germans today were making their si ond great attempt to break through the defenses in the Gonnelieu seccor and pincu off the salient which Gen eral Byng recently drove into the en- emy territory a little further to the north. The German assault was launched against La Vacquerie short- ly before 9 o'clock in the morning and spread rapidly. Within two hours a heavy ‘bate was in progress over a considerable front, from La Vac- querie southward towards Vendhuile. The enemy was employing gr forces of infantry, wich were sent forward under terrific artillery bom bardments from a concentation of guns from which the Germans had perfected since the smashing of the Hindenburg line. Battle Grows Vigorous. By noon there were indications that the German onslaught might equal if not surpass in fierceness their drive which carried them through the Erit ish front south of Gonnelieu last Fri day.

The british, strongly reinforced, were meeting the ou- slaught firmly at all points, accord- ing to latest reports at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The battle was along a considerable front, from La Vacquierie southward toward Vendhuile. The Germans suc- ceeded in entering a Vacquierie but were immediately rejected. In the course of the day attack spread northward toward ‘Masnieres. man. pierce the Brit! PREPARING ANOTHER BLOW. Washington, Dec. 4.—An official dis- patch from Rome today says Austro- German attacks on the Italian front have ceased entirely. Although the Teutonic invasion was launched under rain and snow the German press explains the sudden in- activity of unfavorable atmospheric The truth is, according to , that the Italian army, after the crisis, is now reorganized holding the line. Another offensive iby the enemy on a still larger scale is ‘believed im- minent and the Italians are prepar- inging to meet it. “The enemy has tried to break through our line ai every point,” says the message. “It appears clear- ly now that Boreovic's division hoped to push the Italians beyond the Piave ing. The Germans approached La Vacquerie from the east and south east and atthe outset it appeared that the attack was comparatively lo cal. In their initial charge the en emy came up against a stone walt and they were forced to fall ‘back. They kept coming in waves, however, and finally red a footing in the town, but w immediately cted. Inten: fighting at close quarters followed, and as this progressed the Germans developed an offensiva further down the linc. By 11 o'clock their artillery was maintaining a drum fire against whole front involved Attack Spreads Northward. As the day wore on the German at tack also sperad northward toward ‘Masnieres and became even fiercer ‘The battle about a querie was par ticularly intense, with the contend ing) forces at.close grips.

Numer- ous divisions were sent out in vain assaults against the positions dester- ately defended’ by our soldiers, Ita!- ian aviators have reported continual transfer of Austrian troops from the plain to the mountains to fill up the gaps in their decimated ranks. The enemy is very active preparing oJab- orate defensive systems. “It is believed that ths recom- thencement of the offensive on a largédr scdle ‘ts imminent. It ts ex- vected that Gerleral Conrad will strika in the'vicinity of Vicenza, aiming at an encircling’ movement against the fourth and first Italian army corps. Such alternate blows on the right, left and center recall the methods against Verdun and it is trusted that it will have the identical success.” EXTREME GERMAN PUSH. Extremely hard fighting, with the Germans using great forces of infan- try in mass formation, is taking place along the souhthwestern and south- eastern sections of the Cambria sa- lient. In the region of Gonnelieu, Vac- quieries and southward to Vendhuile and northward toward = Masnieres, battles waged with great fiercen throughout ‘Monday, ‘but with the Ger- mans nowhere successful in breaking | the British front. At La Vacquieries they a eded in penetrating from which they we viously, but a strong coun again turned the scales in favor of neral Byng's forces who throw out the enemy, inflicting heavy casualties on him. As in their previous attacks, the Germans used great masses of infan- try, but the British forces everywhere met their onslaughts stiocally and at last accounts were firmly holding their line at all points. Twenty Divisions Engaged. i Although the Germans in their of- |fensive have been using men reckon- ed at twenty divisions, the British have been able at several points to ; regain some of the ground they lost in the initial attack which was de- livered with a suddenness’ similar to that of 'Byng's big drive toward Cam brai. Sunday night they had gained the eastern edge of the village of Vil- lers-Guislain and driven out the Ger- mans from La Vacquiere. They held this latter position until Monday morn ing, when they were compelled again to cede it to the enemy, anly to take it again later in the day.

The four days’ ‘battle is described as the most sanguinary one that has taken place since the days of Verdun and the first battle of Ypres. Artillery duels are in progress be- tween the French and the Germans north of Chemin Des Dawes; and in the Verdun sector. An attack by the Germans north of Flirey in the latter region was entirely without result The Germans being driven back by the French, suffering heavy casualties and leaving prisoners ‘behind them. Likewise on the Italian front the fighting is mostly by means of big guns, the duels being intense on the northern line in the hilly region be- tween the Brenta and Piave rivers.
