In the latest attack the waves of the assault were broken up by our fire, and the enemy was unable to reach our lines or debouch from | the salient where he penetrated | yesterday * the statement said. “Other attacks east of Cavaliers de Courcy, Chevreux and Cham- brettes failed. French raids at va |rieus points were successful.” For nearly a week, now, the Ger- mans have apparently been prepar- ing for a powerful drive in the re- gion where the French forces, in their great offensive, encroached close to Laon. The fighting has been extending over nearly 18 miles of this front. Three days ago the began making powerful drives at various points where the French commanded the higher ground, Today, apparently, these scattered attacks have been coneoli- dated into a co-ordinated general | drive. —~seninconcnsnilncenngieeeiblile COCCHI ADMITS SLAYING GIRL YORK, June 23.—Confes- Rologna, Italy, ‘by Alfredo that he murdered Ruth was reported in press dis- patches to police heads here today.
