GERMANS EXTEND
 LINES AT VERDUN
Despite Numerical Superiority of ~. lies, kaiSer's Forces Keeping Ene- my on Dciensivp-B Berlin Claims
 Gains in VOsges.

London, Aug. 3.-The Germans have further extended their lines around Ferdun, and have made some slight gains in the Vosges, where the French are making feints at Colmar according to official dispatches to- night
 All news from the western theatre indicates that the "nibbling" process by which General Joffre proposed to harass the Germans, is being em- ployed instead by the Teutons,, who are keeping the allies on the defen- sive, despite their numerical superi Crity.
 Unofficial reports have it that a great battle is in it's first stages in the vicinity of Hogge, southwest of Ypres, with the British and French taking the aggressive in what may be the long-promised western drive" or merely an attempt to tighten the pres sure on the Russians. Large numbers of German wounded are reported to be passing through Courtrai, and the big guns are heard there plainly. No official statements mention heavy fighting in this region, and Berlin reiterates that the Germans are in complete control of the entire posi- ton at Hogge.
 In the Verdun fighting, the Ger mans claim to have captured several French trenches in the neighborhood of Ford de Paris, and to have taken few prisoners, while in the Vosges they report the capture of a small portion of trench on Schrassmaenelle between Lingekopf and Barrenkopf from the French.
 Paris tonight denies that there has been a change of front in the Ar gonne, although reporting spirited fighting with petards and hand gren- ades, and asserts that German at tacks against the Linge river lines and Barrenkopf failed. Night fighting in the vicinity of Souchez resulted Ill no gains for either side."

Lcndon, Aug. 3.--The Germans and. ,Austrians, although moving more slowly than in the first stages of their Warsaw campaign, are steadily forging ahead, both in the north anI southeast.
 The principal operations are pro ceeding in the latter district at pres ent, although in the Courland von Buelow is making strides toward Dvinsk, in his attempt to cut the Petrograd railway. one of the two remaining supply lines.
 Mackenzen has again broken through the stubborn resistance of the Russians in the southeast, break ing their front at Leczna and fore ing the entire line. which stretched from Novo Alexandra through Lecz- na to the north of Cholm, to fall back It is believed Mackenzen's op- erations are fast nearing accomplish ment and that as soon as he has completed the work assigned him, von Hindenburg will renew with sledge hammer effect his blows from the Narew. His offensive at present is
  rev and against the Bug.
 Under Generar von Gallwitz, an army estimated at 100000, with tre- mendous artillery support, is being brought to bear against the Bug lines. When the big guns of the army commence their pounding and the picked troops their massed at tacks, Berlin is confident that the circle about Warsaw will be closed.
 Austrians Defeat Slavs.
 The Russians have suffered se- rious reverse at the hands of Gen. Koevass' Austrian army, west of Iv- angorod. Besides losing 2300 pris- oners, they were forced in their hastv retreat to abandon 32 guns of which 21 were heavy field pieces and two mortars.
 The number of prisoners being talk en by the Germans and Austrians continues to pile up in amazing num- bers. The German official report to- night records the capture of no Jess than 11.OOO on the various eastern fronts within the last dav. More than 5000 of these were taken in the operations in the southeast. and sev- teral thousand more in the Courland. where von Buelow is pursuing with his cavalry the Russian forces which evacuated their positions east or Pcnewesch. 9 junction point of two hranch Tines of the Vilna-Petrograd railway and took flight to the east.
 Military experts look upon these operations Of von Beulow' as most menacing to the Russians. They aim nrimariv at the important railway line which crosses the Drina at nvinss and supplies the greater part of the Russian army with food ana ammunition. If von Beulow were to cut this line. not only would he de- prive great forces of supplies but "e. would imperil the entire Russian line of fortresses behind which he would he in the north. and which Austrian forces are moving to get behind in the south.
