THE GERMAN COMMUNIQUES.
TELLING FRENCH CO HR ECTIONS LONDON, Aug. 9. The French Embassy, in a communique, states: In the Argonne the enemy’s activity is incessant. All the German attacks have been repulsed, with heavy losses, apart from our loss of a portion of an advanced trench. I'Jie number of prisoners claimed to have been taken by the Germans is double the truth. ' In Lorraine no French reconnaissance party was .repulsed, but we repulsed the Germans. The confused and embarrassed language of the German communiques conceals the persistence of their reverses in the Vosges, where we captured the important ridges of Lingoitopf and Barrenkopf, and have thrown back numerous attacks. No French aeroplane was shot down by German artillery (as had been claimed).
