The new Larned History for ready reference, reading and research; the actual words of the world's best historians, biographers and specialists: a complete system of history for all uses, extending to all countries and subjects and representing the better and newer literature of history; . on ceaselessly, night an<day, m the ruins of the village. During thustime the adversaries took and retook Thiaumont,which the Germans held after the 8th. But onthe loth the Colonial regiment from Moroccoreached Fleury, carefully prepared the assault, dc-hvcred it on the 17th, and captured the north-ern and southern portions of the village, encirclingthe central part, which they occupied on thei8th. From this day Fleury remained in Frenchhands. The German counter-assaults of the 18th,iqth, and 20th of August were fruitless; the Moroc-can Colonials held their conquest firmly.

Three hundred prisonerswere taken between Flcury and Thiaumont onSeptember 3d, and three hundred more fell intotheir hands in the woods of \aux-Chapilre.

From July 15th to September 15th,furious fighting was in progress on the slopes ofthe plateau stretching from Thiaumont to Dam-loup. This time, however, it was the French whoattacked savagely, who captured ground, and tookprisoners. So impetuous were they that theiradversaries, who asked for nothing but quiet,were obliged to be constantly on their guard anddeliver costly counter-attacks.—Ibid. 15. FiCiiiiNC AT Thiau
