 WASHINGTON, July 22.-Thc fail urc of the British government to reply to the American communication rela- tive to the seizure of mails is said to be arousing considerable impatience and a request that England deliver a reply or signify her attitude is not unexpected in official circles.

BERLIN DECLARES ALLIES REFUSED
Pacific News Service.

BERLIN, July 22.-Omcial reports of the war office today declare that the allied reports of successes along the western front are gross eXagger- ations. The statement asserts that the Anglo French rush has been com pletely checked at all points along the Somme and also along the Mouse. The allied attacks in the vicinity of Fleury have also been brought to q complete standstill.
 On both sides of the Sonlme the allies have been unable to make any neodway and the claims of the past two days are of advances that are purely negligible Along the eastern front the Germans and Austrians are successfully resisting an extensive Russian attack in the <ovcl region with the army of Von Linsingen carrying the fighting to the enemy at several points.

LONDON, July 22.-Oficial reports from Petrograd today declare that one of the greatest battles that has occurred since the renewal of the Russian offensive is now raging be- tween the armies of General Bruisi- loff and the Austrians and Germans under Von Linsingen on the results of which will probably depend the fate of Lemberg and Novel.
 The statement says that both arm ies are fighting with indescribable fury and the losses are terrific.
 The area of conflict runs from the Volhynian section above Kovels to the eastern Galicia frontier along the Bug The Russian drive is directed primar- fly toward Lemberg and has been ac- report by a gain of fifteen miles. In cluded in the captured area is the village of Verben, lately the head quarters of the Austrian commander in chief, and total of fifteen hundred prisoners The latest reports declare that the fighting is hourly increasing in violence and is spreading to points farther north and south along the main front The Russian pressure in the north is concentrated on the vil- lage of Berestetschko where the Germans have concentrated their heaviest resistence in an attempt to stave off the attack on Kovel

Pacific News Service.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The re- ports of the sinking of the steamer Yser in the North Sea are being in vestigated by the state department with a view to determining to what agency the destruction of the vessel was due. It is admitted in official circles that the incident is liable to develop into a serious situation owing to the presence of Amercans aboard the vessel.
 Reports from the American embassy at London this afternon state that the reports that several prominent Americans were aboard the Yser are found to be untrue but it has been definitely asccrtained that at least three members of the crew were Am ercan citizens. Should it be deter mined that the steamer was sunk by a submarine it is certain that compli- cation with Germany will result.
