With the French Armies in France Cable -The armies of the i
German Crown Primo before'Verdun since Feb. 2 have suffered
costly defeats in seven, vain raids on French positions on both sides
of the Meuse. Although large bodies of troops were employed at
times, not a single permanent advantage has been gained.
On Feb. 2 the Germane made three separate assaults on the
0a,nrieres wood, on the right bank of the Meuse, but were hurled
back -on each occasion by the French, who dashed to meet them with
lasyonets and hand grenades, killing large numbers. North of Hill
314 on Feb. 3 five German columns advanced in a thick fog, after a
heavy preliminary bombardment, and succeeded in entering the
French tiont line momentarily. The 'dnemy was driven out in vig-
orous hand-to-hand fighting, and again suffered severely.
A Baden division, preceded by shock units, assaulted the
French line at the same place on Feb, 4, They gained a footing in
the trenches for, a few minutes, and then were chased off, after use-
lessly sacrificing many lives and leaving some prisoners. On Feb.
0, in the vicinity of Fosses wood, another attack was raadkat dawn,
after a short and sharp artillery preparation by Hanoveria.n troops
and a relief division.' They succeeded in reaching the French barb-
ed wire and in occupying an element of the French positions. They
were driven out almost iillieladiatelyi and pursued by the FrenCh,
leaving many dead and a number of captured,
• Between Samogneux and Hill 341 on Feb, 7 another German as-
sault was repulsed with still more losses. This sector is composed
