Poison Gas Fails To Halt French In Alsace
German assault in Alsace and the Voeres continues with heavy rifle and artillery fire. At Sehratmaennele the Germans sprayed fiery liquid forcing a temporary French withdrawal, but the blue devils counterattacked and routed Teutons from the cap tufted points. Gas clouds drifting over Hartmannewellerkopf failed to break French lines before they retook positions. Grenade and bomb clashes near Vinne le Chateau and Harazee yielded little decisive result as French airmen bombarded German batteries at Nonnenbruck and stations at Latterbach and Grand Pre. Berlin reports confirm renewed Teuton bombardment with Hindenburg citing advances and captures along the Zeelawanka river.
