Official Communications
on East Front Fighting

Petrograd, Aug. 20.-To-nights
official report says:
In the region west Of Lake Nobel
German attacks were repulsed with
heavy losses to the enemy.
On the river Stokhod, in the region
of the village of Rubkachervische, we
captured Toherische farm and several
heights. There was stubborn fight
for the village of Tobol, which changed
hands several times and finally re-
manned in our possession. Cossacks
launched cavalry attacks on the enemy,
killing more than 200 Austrians. In
this region we captured six officers,
more than 500 of the rank and file,
fifteen machine guns, two mine throw
ers, one sesrchlight and telephone
apparatus.
In the direction of Koresmezo (in
Hungary, three miles from the border
our troops drove back the enemy TO the
heights west of Jablonitza and Voronka
and occupied the heights. On the
ly-Cheremosh River. in the region
of Dolgopol, our detschments pushed
back the enemy, thus making a slight
advance in the direction OF Fereskul
In the direction of Kirlibaba, TO the
north, the enemy launched attacks on
the heights. We repulsed these at
tacks and occupied the heights.

ZEPPELIN TRIP
TO U.S.. FORESEEN
Feat Perfectly Feasible in
Good Weather, Pilot
Says.

Berlin, Aug. 10 (delayed).-rhe prin-
cipal improvement in the larger Yep
pelins, in addition to their greater
carrying capacity, is their increased
proof against the effects Of shell fire by
anti-aircraft guns, according to . naval
officer who commanded q super-Zep-
peiin in a recent attack on points in
England. The officer said that the
measures taken by the British to pro-
tect themselves against aircraft raids
had improved recently under a more
effective use Of searchlights.
The detectives Of air raiding craft,
the officer added, we're only military
establishments, munitions works and
camps. He admitted that at the great
elevations at which the Zeppelins fly
accurate aim was difficult, but that ex-
perience was showing that the bombs
dropped by the airships generally
reached their marks. Bombs Of 600
pounds dropped on large foundry, the
officer continued, caused the collapse OF
all the walls of the building, while FIRE
bombs dropped at another place had set
whole buildings afire. 1t was the opin-
ion of this officer that while flying at
high attitudes Zeppelins were most diff
ficult to combat, especially those Of the
new type.
Questioned concerning the possibil-
ity of a super-Zeppelin crossing from
Germany to the United States, the Off
GER said such a feat was perfectly fess-
IDLE when atmospheric conditions were
not wholly unfavorable. Under bad
weather conditions a drawback would
be that the craft probably would be
compelled TO sail for time with the
wind. The officer said the Zeppelins
had now reached such a state of per
lection that travelling in them was per-
fectly safe.

LONDON TIMES
FLAYSU. S.POLICY
Post-Bellum Rights For
feited by Neutrality Stand,
Thunderer Declares.

London. Aug 20.-In a leading edi-
torial entitled "The Great Neutral"
"The Times" takes the ground that the
United States has forfeited post-bellum
rights which might have been enjoyed
if different attitude had been as
sumed early in the war. II says:
"Next to war. perhaps nothing is
more wonderful than neutrality. In
theory, to be neutral is to be non-par-
.tisan and to favor neither side. But IN
practice, as we know, neutrality may
arrogate to itself variety of functions
which might at first sight seem foreign
to its nature.
$50 far as the present war is con-
cerned, only one neutral of plain con-
sequence exists. We refer, Of course,
to the United States of America. When
England joined the issue with Germany
in 1914 the probable attitude Of Amer
lea would appear to have been consid-
cred by nobody but the Germans.
Roughly, the English view was that by
the nature of things American SYM
patty and, il worst came to worst
American support might be taken for
granted.
at would be invidious and probably
improper to suggest that we have
neither one nor the other. The Ger
mans say we have. On the other hand,
we believe there is tremendous body
of American opinion which says we
have not There was moment at the
beginning of the war when the whole
duty of the American government
seemed to be palpably and surely be-
fore IT, For good or i'll, that moment
was allowed to pass. America did not
intervene, did not move. Indeed, to
assert a moral right she assumed the
virtue of her insistent participation IN
The Hague Convention.
"If by this failure she lost nothing
of material Importance, and may for
that matter rather have gained IN so
far as her own immediate advantage IS
concerned, she certainly forfeited post
bellum rights which would have been
hers if she had taken upon herself the
burdens and responsibilities of inter-
ference. This view of her position IS
fully appreciated in those quarters
where American neutrality has been
upheld in the face of all criticism, and
obviously is the correct view"

Much interest was attracted by
dispatch from Berlin saying that Swiss
sources report the French have re-
moved the civilian population from the
districts of Nancy, Luneville, Bacarrat

along the Alsace border, beginning
about fifty miles south Of Verdun, and
would be the line from which an at
tack aimed to redeem the lost prov
inces would be launched.
In the first days of the war the
French made q successful attack along
this sector, and penetrated as far as
Muhlhsusen, but were later thrown
back. After the German drive was
halted at Belfort this part Of the front
settled into comparative quiet. There
has been a wide belief that the Allies

says:
About noon to-day the enemy deliv-

which we have established for about
half q mile from the western corner Of
High Wood. He succeeded in reach
ing this line at certain points, but was
driven out again by our infantry,
which Immediately reoccupied the

broke down under our artillery FIRE.
North of Bazentin-le-Petit We to-day
gained a further portion Of enemy
trenches.
The enemy heavily shelled different
portions Of our front, especially High
Wood. Hamel and Msilly. Elsewhere
there was nothing Of Importance:
Despite the low clouds, our aircraft
did very useful work yesterday (Satur-
day) in communicating with our ad-
vanced infantry. One Of our aero
planes, coming down to q low altitude
opened a machine gun fire very efec-
lively on enemy infantry in front line
trenches and also on hostile reinforce
ments coming up communicating
trenches.
An earlier statement said:
At some points on our front between
the Somme and the Ancre local bomb
ing encounters occurred last night, but
the enemy made no serious attempt to
recover the ground We captured on
Friday.
On other parts ofthe line we carried
out successful raids. making some
captures, including a machine gun, and
INJECTING considerable number OF
casualties on the enemy.
