ENEMY ASSAULTS
HELD BY COUNTER ATTACKS. FRENCH OFFICIAL REPORT. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 1.20 p.m.) RUGBY, June 10. Monday night's French official communique states: “From the sea to the Oise, the enemy has accentuated his pressure between the roads from Amiens to Rouen and from Ameins to Vernon, reaching the Lower Seine at certain points, where some elements have crossed the river. “He is everywhere held by vigorous counter-attacks. Between the road Amiens to Vernon and the course of the Lower Oise, his infantry has been less incisive. It has been above all by means of his air force that he has sought to harass the movements of our units by repeated bombardments on their rear. East of the Oise, enemy columns, which had debouched in the afternoon, only succeeded in extending the bridgehead he had established yesterday by pushing as far as the Lower Retournes. East of the Aisne, the enemy has extended his attacks to all openings north of the Argonne, as far as the Meuse at Beaumont.”
