GERMANS REPORT VICTORY ON SOMME Attempt of French and British | to Break Teuton Lines is Beaten Back. ENTENTE LOSSES LARGE |} Berlin, Oct, 24—(Via wirelss to Sayville.)—In an attempt' to break through the German lines on the Somme at any cost, the British and French yesterday used great num- bers of troops in repeated attacks, the war office announced today. Their assaults broke down with heavy losses. The defeat of the allies was so se- vere, the statement says, that all along | the front the dead are lying in one row after another. South of Somme a French attack met with sim- ilar results. The announcement folows: “October 23 was like the preceding day, characterized by battles of great- est violence. In order to break through at any price the British and French continued attacks in which strong forces were employed. “In spite of their use of masses of troops north of the Somme they suf- fered a heavy and sanguinary defeat. It is reported from the front that rows of dead are lying one upon another, especially west of Transloy, The con- duct of our troops was as splendid as was possible.
