London, June 27ih-Despatches from
Berlin state that General Won Lingensen's
forces which advanced to the north from
Stry, across the Dniesttr, have been forced
to withdraw to the south bank, northwest Of
Halicz. The wing to the north Is advancing,
but the Russians are making a firm stand
below, on terms nearer equal than previously
during the recent campaign. The heaviest
guns that overwhelmed the Russians IN the
Carpathisns are principally with Field Mar
shal Won MacKensen. The Russians have
been successful with the Austrians also on the
Duiester, near Martyoo and Rousedviany.
The Austrians crossed to the left bauk of
the Dniester, but the Russians III an lmpe-
tuous counter-attack threw them back, com
polling many to take refuge on islands and
demoralizing many more. Still further south
the Russians administered q similar check
TO the Austriaus southeast OF Nlzidnlow,
where the former suddenly took the offensive
on Wednesday, capturing the garrison with
many prisoners.
The foregoing gives great encouragement
TO London, as it shows the Russians are
neither discouraged nor demoralized and
that the Grand Duke Nicholas is always
watching an opportunity to take the often
sive, hence Germany is unable to withdraw
her heavy guns or her troops, as the moment
she does so the Russians will return to
Galicia.
A successful night attack by the Germans
Oh the heights of the Meuse with asphyxiat-
ing bombs and flaming liquids is recorded
in "a Paris official communicate. The assail-
ants recovered a part of their lost second line
OF trenches, but according 10 the French re-
port they were thrown out by a vigorous
oounter-attack and q second assault also
failed.
A Berlin official account of operations does
not mention the foregoing engagement,
which was apparently violent, but reports
the taking of another trench end two block
houses on the western border of the Argonne.
There has been considerable fighting north
of Arras, where The French say they are pro-
crossing between Souchez ard Angres, north
east of Souchez, on the direct road towards
Lens, the main objective of the French
campaign in this section.
An Italian official communicate states that
a gradual advance has been made along the
1sonzo with occupation of Globna, north Of
PLAYA, and the edge of the plateau between
6agrade and Monfalcone.
One hundred and fifty million pounds of the
new war loan have been subscribed III Lon
don alone, in small or moderate amounts.
Applications in millions are not expected be-
fore next week. The Government is arrang-
ing a great campaign on behalf of the loan
and to emphasize the need tor economy
among all classes. Mr.. Asquith will speak
at the Guildball on Tuesday.
There is much bargaining between the
owners of Consols, who are unable to sab
scribe to the new loan,' and the subscribers
to the new loan who are not owners Of Con-
soils and therefore unable to utilize the pri-
vilege of conversion. The Bank of England
announces that it will receive foreign sub
scriptions to the loan.
Dispatches from New York state that a
loan to England is more likely than upon the
deposit of the new loan as collateral, than
by direct subscription, apd perhaps upon the
deposit of British owned American securi-
ties in the manner recently arranged by
France.
Advices from Paris state that a bill APP
