 Unofficial advices from Berlin are to the effect that in northwestern Rus sfa, the Russian offensive has shift ed to a weak defensive and that the Germans are making headway day by day which is only oyershadowed by their Galician gains.
 To the north of the Aisne two thousand Germans have been killed in an endeavor to retake from the French two lines of trenches which were completed Sunday. In addition 250 prisoners and six machine guns were captured, while many other ma chine guns were found under the ruins.
 Heavy casualties were suffered by the Germans, according to Paris, southeast of He6uterne. ProgSess also is reported for the allies between Soissons and Rheims and in Cham pagne. The French report mentions the use by their troops of a flaming liquid which was sprayed on the German trenches "by way of repr1s- al"
 Since June 1st in the vicinity of Phzemysl the Austrians claim that in their advances they have captured more than 0000 Rusiasn prisoners.
 The Italians, according to Vienna, seem to be pushing forward with strong forces against the Isonzo river front.

PERILOUS PLIGHT OF
 A BRITISH SOLDIER
Hurled Back German Bombs Tossed
 Into an Excavation to Kill Him.

Into an ExcdNarion 10 NH T7inns
 London, June 7, 7:O5 p. m.-The exploit of British soldier who lay in the crater made by shell and hurled back at the Germans bombs which the ytossed into the excavation to kill him, is related in a despatch from the front under date of June 4, from the official observer attached to the British army, as given out in London tonight.
 After having got into German trench and finding he was the only survivor of his party, he managed to crawl deep in a shell crater nearby" the observer says, ''the Germans knew where he was, but could not shoot him and were prevented by our rife from approaching They therefore contented themselves with lobbing hand grenades into the crater.
 All day long this British soldier remained in the hole within a few yards of the enemy, picking up and hurling back bombs with which he was pelted. At night he managed to crawl safely back to our lines"
 Another incident described by the official observer has to do with an officer and ten men who, when the Germans stormed and captured Brit Ish trenches near Ypres, refused to re- tire. Surrounded by the Germans on all sides they stuck to their trench in the hope of regaining the lost ground by cOunter-a attack. At nightfau they withdrew, after holding the Germans at bay throughout the day."
