The Germans counter-attacked de- sperately yesterday afternoon in vain attempts to throw back -the French from the new positions north-west of Peronne. At no one single point in the present fighting have the German losses been so severe as in yester- days' counter-attacks south-east of Bouchavesnes. The Germans have shifted more troops from Verdun to the Somme front in an effort to check Gen. Foch's forces closing in upon Per- onne. The War Office announced to-day that yesterday's ineffective counter- attack against the'southern extremity of Hill 76, north-west. of Peronne, was led by a fresh German division hastily transferred from Verdun. The Germans made several more attacks at the same point last night, but were completely repulsed, West of Chaulnes one German company was caught under French fire and practically annihilated.
