TEUTONS CHECK BRITISH DRIVE But French to South Push on New Gsins. * GERMANS RETAKE THIAMONT; Paris Announces Capture of Part of j Estrees After Forty-eight Hours of Terrific Fighting —British Lose Part * of La Boisselle—Gain at Other ' Points. * LONDON, ENG. Claims from the German war office, supplemented by official admissions from both Paris and the British i.eki headauarter3 in France, indicate that the British part ( of the great allied offensive in the neighborhood of the Somme has been ; checked for a mcnent at least. Not only has the spectacular rush for the French and British forces been ! brought to a halt, but at several . points, of whioh the most important is the village of La Boisselle, the counter attacks of the Germans have . dislodged the allies from captured po sitions. The official report from Sir Doug- j las Haig admits the retreat of the British from “some portions” of I Boisselle. 1 French Take Two Towns. , While German and British state- , ments indicate that the check to the British has been decisive for the mo- j ment, the midnight communique from Paris indicates that the French, after a night of temporary quiet, struck heavily again. Two villages were add ed to the number already taken by the French, Bareaux and Belloy-en- • Santerre, south of the Somme, falling : in the day’s operations. j In addition to these advances Paris also claims the capture of the woods in the neighborhood of Assevillers, one of the villages which was taken ; Monday. > A gain of considerable importance ; is also disclosed in the announcement of the capture of a portion of the town of Estrees. The French advanc ed to this position in the second day’s rush, but were checked at the edge of the town. For the last forty-eight hours a furious battle has been going on for possession of the village, the troops fighting hand-to-hand in the ruined streets while machine guns placed behind fallen walls added their toll of dead. British Losses Heavy. The German official announcement of a check to the British between the Ancre and the Somme declares heavy losses were inflicted upon the British, both by the German artillery and in fantry. The statement admits violent attacks by the British and a continua tion of their offensive at all points, but declares every attack was thrown back with losses to the assailants. Thiamont German Again. The most important action on the west front was once more in the Ver dun region. The Thiamont work, the point over which French and Germat armies have battled for weeks, was again captured by the Germans—for the fourth time.
