German Right Driven Back Over Frontier In Hard Fought Battle
Wartime dispatches report fierce combat along the front with trenches flooded and troops waist deep. Allied counterattacks repelled German assaults as German losses mount and the French government prepares a protest to the nations. News from the east centers on gains by the Allies near Lovain and advancing lines north of Rheims while German resistance remains stubborn along the Argonne. A separate note says Algerians captured a flag as reports of German retreat grow. In naval news the German cruiser Koenigsberg disabled the British cruiser Pegasus in Zanzibar harbor, with British casualties heavy.
