Repulse at Festubert-
Success Near Ypres.
BERLIN COMEDIES
LOSS IN NORTH
Allies on Western Front Begin
Offensive Over Long Front
as Russians Fall Back.

London, June 16.-For the first time
in weeks there has been heavy fight
ing over a comparatively extensive line
of the British front in Belgium and
France. The Berlin official communi-
cation describes it as an Anglo-French
movement synchronizing with the Rus
sian reverses in Galicia.
To win mile of front and then TO
lose it before terrific German counter
attacks was the experience of the Brit
ISL on Tuesday night, near Festubert.
In a statement, frank if brief, Field
Marshal French records this incident,
but does not state the losses, which
must have been heavy on both sides
The British have occupied German po-
sitions to the north of HODGE, near
Ypres, for distance of 1000 yards.
The Germans are as frank in con-
ceding the loss of ground near Ypres.
but they make no mention Of having
been forced, even temporarily, to yield
a mile of their Festubert stronghold.
British Admit Repulse.
The report of Sir John French. as
issued tonight by the War Office, says;
yesterday evening we captured the
German front line trenches east OF
Festubert on a mile front, but failed to
hold them during the night against
strong counter attacks.
early this morning in the neigh
borhod of Ypres we successfully at
tackled the enemys positions north Of
Hooge Ito the east Of Ypres). We oc-
cpnied the whole of his first line Of
trenches on front of 1000 yards, and
also parts of his second line. ,
"By neon to-day 1877 prisoners had
passed TO our rear. The German coun-
ter attack has been repulsed with
heavy losses"
French Make Small Gains.
The official communication issued by
the French War Office tonight says:
"To the north of Ypres the British
troops have occupied a line Of Ger
man trenches. The line of trenches
they captured yesterday TO the west
of La Bassee has not been maintained.
ain the sector to the north of Arras
we have gained ground at divers points,
notably to the east Of Lorette, to the
southwest and south of Souchez and
in the Labyrinth We took 300 pris-
oners and several machine guns.
"To the south of Arras the Germans
violently bombarded the positions
which they lost in the region of the
Toutvent Farm, but without delivering
an infantry attack.
at the Quennevieres Farm, after
having repealed several counter-attacks
by the enemy, we extended our gain to

[By Cable 70 The Tribune. ]

Sofa, June 16.-The unsuccessful
operations of the allied fleet against the
Dardanelles and the war preparations
Of Italy had their effect here. II is
generally conceded now that Bulgaria
holds the key of the situation. Nobody
doubts that a Bulgarian army would
long ago have forced an entrance into
the Turkish metropolis, as it very near

Gus objection by Russia and the I'M
willingness of Bulgaria's allies.
The entente has pressed on the gov
eminent Of Bulgaria another set Of
proposals TO win its aid. 1t is said
they guarantee the following: The line
of Media Enos with the port of Rodosto
as a commercial basis. Kovalla, Series,
Drama; Macedonia, according TO the
Serbia Bulgarian treaty; DobroudJa
without Silstria.
The condition is that Bulgaria mobil-

were dropped, one of them almost de-

as headquarters by the Karlsruhe
commandant. Others destroyed

the number of persons killed in the
aerial attack on that city yesterday as
twelve, in addition to which many per-

two occupants of the two aeroplanes
brought down were made prisoners.
The travellers say that the lombard
ment of Karlsruhe caused q panic in
the city. The people, awakened by the
bursting of bombs, rushed half
clothed into the streets. Two bombs
struck the Palace, destroying one wing
and damaging the other. The arms
factory, railway station, railway tracks
and switches also were damaged.
Trains from Karlsruhe are reaching
Basel six TO eight hours late. The
travellers say that when they left
Karlsruhe the railway station and sew
cral houses in that vicinity were in
flames.
