cleared the bank almost to olery
The French, who have established
themselves ut Sormont farm, also
threaten Cl0ry.
The Brltish ara sttll heavily en-
gagged along their front from Harde-
court to Gommeoourt. Notwtth-
standing heavy German counter at
tacks they have been able to main.
tain all the ground and extend It a
some points.
As the German trenches arc Occu-
Diod evidence acCumulatOs Of the
deadly execution Of artillery. In
some cases eighty por cent OF the
defenders were killed by the terrific
shelllng to which they were subject
ed. British losses varied. Certain
formations being called on to attack
defenses where machine guns re-
mained undamaged suffered heavily
Othor captured. Others captured the
positions with very slight losses.
Germans More Determined.
Instead OF compelling the Germans
to lessen their efforts at Verdun, the
Allied offensive seems to have increas-
cd their determination possibly In the
hope Of preventing the French from
sending re-enforcements to the
sommo. British observers express
satisfaction with tho progress which
has been made. With the heavy cas-
ualties caused by the bombardment
and the taking Of 10000 prisoners and
great quantity Of war materially 1t Is
believed here that the German power
Of resistance must haev been weak

The Russians continue to record
successes, some Of which are OF great
Importance, along their whole front
from Riga To the CarpathIans. They
have crossed the railway between
Dslatyn, west OF Kolomea, and Koro'
smezo, one Of the main lines between
GalIcla and Hungary, upon which the
Austrlans depend largely to supply
their armies at Stanislau and before
Tarnapol. This places the army Of
General Won Bothmer in still more
dangerous position and 1t is thought
he may decide to withdraw towards
Lemberg ~
In the Lutsk salient at Branoyichi
and along the Riga front the Rus
slams also claim to be making prog-
ress and to have repulsed counter at
tacks. German correspondents e1s
press the opinion that General Kuro'
patkin is preparing an offensive IN
the wilma region.
