NEW ATTACKS TO
CHECK ALLIES
Intensive Bombardment of
British Lines With Gas
Shells
REPULSED AT VERDUN
Berlin Announces Sinking of
English Trawlers by
Submarine

Apparently the Germans are pre-
pairing for further attacks in an eff
fort TO check the allied offensive in
Northern France.
London to-day reports an intensive
bonn bardment of the British lines at
places, gas shells and tear-producing
projectiles being freely used. The
British guns are replying vigorously.
The afternoon bulletin from Paris
ignores the Somme front where the
French presumably are busy consoli-
dating their positions on the ground
won from the Germans in Thursdays
assault.
In the Verdun sector the Germans
attacked a French position south OF
Damloup, northeast of the fortress, but
were repulsed. They are heavily bonn
harding the Fleury and F'umin wood
sectors in this region.
German attacks on French trenches
at File Morte in the Argonne and
Northwest of st. Die in the Nosses
were repulsed.
Berlin announces the sinking by
German submarines in July II of six
British trawlers off the English east
coast. The British steamers Wolf, of
2,44S tons, and Karma, of 2,345 tons,
and the French steamer Cattois of
/, 200 tons have been sunk.
