War Summary Shows Heavy German Losses On All Fronts
The British French and Italian lines hold firm against renewed German assaults aided by troops from the Russian front. German efforts between Bullecourt and Queant suffer heavy losses and only a few British prisoners. Italians repell attempts near Monte Spinancia as snow and mist hinder operations. Reports from Russia show conflicting results among Bolsheviks and Kaledines forces with Rostov-on-Don and Bielgorod actions, while Allied naval authorities note sinking submarines and reduced merchant losses. An aerial German bombing kills several American railway engineers in a town behind the British front. The list also notes W. H. Bennett of Butte missing.
