SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1916 The Bulletin’s Circulation in Norwick A BATTLE OF GREA™ INTENSITY IS RAGING Around the Village of Douaumont, Which isin the Hands of the German Forces FORCED TO BREAK GROUND BY FRENCH ATTACKS French Have Regained Part of the Ground Lost and the Fight- ing is Unabated—From the Region of Malancourt to the Woerve Region the Teutons Are Trying to Force Their Way Closer to the Fortress of Verdun, But the French Are Tenaciously Holding Them Back—There is Artillery Activity in the Argonne Forest and in Upper Alsace— Russians Have Captured Town of Bitlis in Turkish Ar- menia. Around the village of Dousumont, which 1s in the hands of the Germans, there is raging a battle of great in- tensity. Having captured the village and extended thei rlines west and south, the Germans were forced to give ground before viclous attacks of the French, who regained part of the terrain they had lost. The fighting here is proceeding unabated. From the region of Malancourt, west of the Meuse, to the Woevre region, east of Verdun, the bombardments are violent, the Germans endeavoring to force fhefr way closer to the fortress of Verdun and the French tenaciously striving to hold them back. Several assembling points of the Germans have been vigorously shelled by the French, especially in the vicnity of Beaumont. The Germans admit that in the re- | glon of Ypres the British recaptured the positions the Germans took from them Feb. 14, but say that they were immediately driven out of most of them, The British, however, declare that they have consolidated most of these ositions. P Phers: has been considerable artil- lery activity In the Argonne forest and in upper Alsace, an infantry engage- ment in which elements of German trenches were taken by the French. Comparative quiet prevails on the Russian front. Alons ihe line in the ‘Alps and on the Isonzo river sector the Austrians and Italians continue their bombardments and_attacks there by infantry, but without mate- rially changing their positions. The Russians have captured the town of Bitlis in the Lake Van district of Turkish Armenia and elsewhere in the Caucasus region and in Persia are keeping up _their vigorous offensive against the Ottoman forces. ‘An_officlal communication from the Turkish army headquarters says the east and west coast districts of Aden have come under Ottoman rule as the result of the submission of the tribes- men. o decently of the British near Dafiuch, in the neighborhood of Aden, but the British official press bureau denies that an_engagement took place there. The Britigh have reoccupled Sidi Barani in western Egypt, which had been in the hands of Senussl tribes- men, commanded by Turkish officers. The town was occupled without re- | sistance. A German seaplane has been cap- tured in the North sea off the Belgian coast while returning from England. One of its occupants had been drowned. The other was made prisoner. It is thought probable this craft is the one that bombarded the southeast coast of England Wednesday, night.
