TEUTONS GIVE WAY
IN DVINA RIVER DRIVE
Kaiscr's Forces Forced to
Retreat Behind the
Lipa Riva by Slavs.

I ONDON. July II, 10 p. m.-The
- successes of the entente allies are
following each other with great
rapidity, Today brought news of fur
ther important gains for them on both
the western and eastern fronts, arous-
ing enthusiasm among the British
public hardly less than that caused by
the reception of the first news of the
allied offensive.
The dispatch of Gen. Sir Douglas
Haig today shows that the steady
pressure OF the British arms is forcing
an ever-deepening salient into tho
German lines and the communicating
chief for the first time produces evil
dence in the shape Of documents cap
tured from the Germans giving tcsti-
mony as to the high price the Ger
mans are paying in casualties.
The British have improved their
positions along almost the whole OF
their line Of the battle front, captur-
ing by assault 1.5O0 yards of German
second line positions north of the Ba-
-le-Petit wood. q strong German
position at the Waterloo farm between
Longueval and Guillemont, besides
completing the capture of the whole
of the village of Ovillers la Boisselle.
These gains bring the British almost
TO the crest of the Albert plateau
where stretches the German third line.
Russians Gain.
The news from the eastern front
today was equally important. The
Russian commander. General Kuro-
patkin. has launched an offensive
against Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
on the Dvlna river and General Won
Linsngen's troops southwest of Lutsk
have been compelled to retire behind
the Lipa river while in the course OF
Sundays fighting in VOlhynia the Rus
sia ms captured an additional thirteen
thousand prisoners and thirty guns.
General Won Linsingen's retirement,
according to the Petrograd military
critics. represents great Russian
tactical success 1t was preceded by
heavy fighting in which the Russians
smashed the Teuton front on a width
of n mile and penetrated several miles
into their positions.
The war .1ow is costing Great Brit
ain f6,000.0O0 daily, but with such
rcws as the successes of the entente
allies this sacrifice is nowhere
lrudged. While the powers of cndur-
ance of the Teutonic allies. should
they be forced to act entirely on the
defensive. have still to BE- tested, tho
British nation is full Of confidence.
