Germans Lose Ground in Verdun Front Engagements
Paris dispatch reports German preparations for two Verdun attacks on the Meuse region near Hill 304 and Bois Fumier northwest of Ft Vaux. French barrier and mitrailleuse fire halted the west bank assault, while the eastern attack on the wooded heights failed. A German air group bombing Toul saw one plane downed and two land in German lines. Night actions at Damloup saw Germans gain a foothold in the ravine but French counterattacks quickly recovered the positions.
