Paris, .Tan. 2S—All day yesterday,
in commemoration of the birthday of
the Kaiser, who was present on the
field in person, the German troops
hurled themselves against the Allied
line in an attempt to break down the
opposition of the French, British and
Belgians. But, notwithstanding that
they fought with almost unprecedented
bravery and utter disregard of life,
they were unable to win what they
were striving for. The fighting be
gan with a series of night attacks, ex
tending from the sea on the north to
Rheims on the south, but at one place
only, near Carrone, where the French
troops were forced to fall back to
their second line of defenses, were
the Germans able to make any advan
cps. The loss of life equalled that a
>ng the Yser, which staggered human
two months ago. In anticipation of
o attack, the Allies had moved
undreds of machine guns into the
• i tei trenches, at the same time
nil ling the regular number of men
i the trenches. The result was a
tream of lead so steady and so op
erate that the Germans were unable
to get inside the wire entanglements,
being mowed down in windrows, and
foreed to fall back to their own
lines. Gen. Joffre himself has gone
to Corontie and taken personal com
mand, and is moving fresh troops
and new cannon to drive the Ger
mans hack.
Paris, Jan. US—Undeterred by tlieir
failure to smash the Allied opposition
yesterday, the Germans renewed their
attack on the trenches at daybreak
this morning. They are contenting
themselves with artillery fire today,
however with the exception of the re
gion along the Mease, where they de
livered a bayonet charge against the
French front.
