PRESS VICTORIES IN
 WESTERN ZONE

LONDON, June 21.-Both the Brit ish and the French in the western zone of the war are on the offensive, and are pushing their gains with all the strength at their command. A continuous bombardment with every available piece of ordnance is in pro- gress the whole distance from well into Lorraine northward and westward into Belgium This terri fc bombardment is being supple mented with numerous infantry at tacxs, which are constituting practi- cally continuous performance in re- gions of Labassee, Arras, along the whole Lorraine front and in the Vos- ges mountains.
 The Allies are doing their best to make gains during the weakened con- dition of the German forces, and they have made notable progress for two days. The slaughter has been heavy with the Germans suffering the worse.
 One of the objects of the furious offensive movement has been to re- lieve the pressure on the Russians, and compel the Germans to withdraw troops that are engaged against that country in GalicIa and other points along the east line.
