THE EUROPEAN WAR.
Gains of the Russians Continue-Al-
lies Successful on Verdun Front.

The European war dispatches of tho
past week have related wholly to the
fight on the Verdun front and to the
successes of the Russian army. The

at various points, but, the French and
British war offices send out encourag-
ing reports. The British claim to have
repeatedly raided German trenches UNI
der cover of gas and smoke attacks
and to have inflicted heavy losses in
addition to bringing back many prison
ers. The Russians continue to advance
steadily and are evidently sweeping the
Austrians before them along war
front of many miles. A despatch yes
terday recorded the capture of moro
than 10000 prisoners and 22l officers,
The statements from Petrograd indi-
cate that the number of Austrians who
have surrendered to Russia within the
past few weeks aggregates at least
100000 to 100000.
