THE WAR TODAY

The Russian lines are still being
swung back in northern Galicia and
southern Poland in an apparent effort
by the Tuetonic allies to clear the way
for a determined move on Warsaw.
The Russians admit a continuation
of the enemy offensive between the
Bug and the Vieprz. At the junction
of the latter river with the Vistula in
Poland lies Ivangorod, which Russian
observers believe is the immediate OBJ
jective of the Austro-German forces in
this region. Ivangorod is little more
than fifty miles southeast from the
Polish capital.
Just at present the chief Russian
holding power reems to be along the
Lipa in Galicia. Petrograd also re-
cords repulse of an attempt by the
Teutons to cross the Dniester near
Halicz, indicating that the line of the
Dniester south of that place is still
we'll held by the Russians.

German submarine activity, brought
sharply to the front by the sinking of
the steamer Armenian with the loss of
a number of American lives, is further
shown by news of the sinking of the
British bark Thistlebank and the Nor
wegian steamer Marna through tor
pedo attacks.

Berlin. via London. July Com
menting on the imperial rescript is
sued by Emperor Nicholas in connec-
tion with the formation of the Russian
board of military supplies in which
the determination is expressed TO car
ry on the war until Russian arms tri-
umph, the Tageblatt says;
This proclamation shows how far
removed the Russians still are from
peace thoughts and how undepend-
able were the reports, originating
chiefly in Scandinavian coffee houses,
which professed knowledge of a grow
ing inclination for peace in the Rus
sian court and all sorts of peace ne
gotiations."
The Tageblatt also expresses the be-
lief that the duma also will decide that
the war must be continued until VIC
tory is won, and asserts that Russian
ministerial changes do not denote
preparations for peace but merely for
a better conduct of the war. The pa
per adds that the Russian army, in
spite OF all misfortunes, does not con-
slider itself defeated.

London. July while the Austro-
German armies continue to push tine
Russians back over the Gaiician bor-
der in their own territory, rumors are
rife in London of contemplated offen-
sives by the Entente allies. The French
are credited with the intention of maxi
ing formidable attack on account of
the enormous expenditure of artillery
ammunition north OF Arras. where a
persistent bornbardment has been kept
up for the last fortnight; while the
Anglo-French forces on the GaiIipoli
peninsula are said to be on the point
of making q supreme effort to capture

Narrows of the Dardanelles.
Recent Gains Important.
The recent gains claimed by the
bTltISu dHu fTSnCn on the SDuL4ern
end of the peninsula are considered i'm
portant because they indicate an ap-
proach to the hill on three sides.
On the eastern front every change
leaves Warsaw, the capital OF Russian
Poland, more open TO the drive which
the Germans and Austro-H Hungai is.ns
evidently are making toward that city.
