The enemy made a powerful attack, which was repulsed with serious losses. They gained a footing at two points of the French trenches between Bethincourt and Morthonime. In the Vosges valley a surprise attack on the enemy trenches enabled the French to capture sixty prisoners. Brieulles station was bombed by French aeroplanes. On the Russian front at Riga a Lettish detachment, forcing the artificial obstacles, rushed the enemy trenches, annihilated the enemy and returned safelv.
