PARIS, September 10th. 6.10 p.m. Artillery activity has been continued and has proved especially effective in Argonne. The Germans have shifted their offensive to Lorraine and Alsneo, and everywhere it has been checked.
A communiqué says: poison-shells from Lingekopf to Barzen
The enemy used kopf but only on Schratzmannelle did the French evacuate one trench in the frat line and that was owing to the Germans using liquid fire. A counter-attack enabled the French to regain most of the last trench and they are now ontrenched-a dozen yards from the section which they could not re-occupy.
The Germans at dusk attacked Harts manaswoilerkopf and gained a footing, bat a night counter-attack hurled them back.
