London, July 13.-The recovery OF
he Russian armies since their de1eat
; 81 last year and the apparently mex
haustive supply Of guns and ammuni-
tions with which they are provided,
continues to be source OF wonder to
military writer's. At least six armies
~, To-Day engaged against the Aus
tr.ans and Germans on Russia's front.
All Of them are using much ammuni-
ton. even those not definitely on the
offensive.
The forces under Grand Duke
Nicholas In Armenia and Persia,
have been fighting against the Turks
for months. A few weeks ago some OF
the forces particularly those west OF
Erzerum, were compelled to fall back
in the face Of stronger Turkish
army. Early this week the grand
duke resumed the offensive in this re-
gion and recaptured Mamakhatum, SO
the Turks have fallen back twenty
Ave miles from tho furthest points
reached in their counter offensive.

North Of the marshes the lighting at
present is largely with artillery. In
GaIicia the Russians are reforming TOT
continuatio OF the offensive.
Chief Interest in verdun.
In the west. the renewed efforts OF
the German crown prince at verdun
temporarily are seeking preference IN
the public mind with the battle of the
Somrne The attack just delivered by
the Germans before verdun is the
seventh great onslaught with dense
masses Of troops since the operation
began five months ago. The Germans
have made a small gain but this has
moi lessened the confidence of the
French in their ability to hold fast.
They still have three lines Of trenches
which must be penetrated before the
German objective can be gained.
The British are still engaged in
lighting the Germans from fortified
positions which must be taken before
the offensive can be renewed.
K. Fighting continues at many points
along the battle front in the region OF
the Somme in France but there has
been no change in the situation on
any part OF the British line, says a
statement issued today. Attempts Of
the Germans to raid trenches west Of
wyschaete and south Of La Bassee
were frustrated.
