GERMANS DESPERATELY Y ATTACK
AT VERDUN AND ON SONlNNE FRONT
GROUND GAINED
FROM BRITONS

The capture of Contamination, Ma
metz and Trones wood gives the Brit
ish line running almost due east
and west so that the Germans to the
north can be attacked on the flank
when the guns are brought up for the
second phase Of the operation.
Can Attack German Flank.
TO the south OF the river the
French are in position somewhat
similar to the British and likewise
can attack the German flank of Bel
low and Estres. For the moment, how
ever, the two armies are engaged in
preparing their new positions.
Meanwhile the Germans renewing
the attack on Verdun have captured
Damloupe battery, which they held
for a time at the beginning of June.
This position is the point furtherest
from Verdun in the French line OF de-
fense so that its loss is not taken
seriously by the French commander.
Army is Cut on.
In the East the Russians are en-
gagged in heavy battles in the extreme
northwestern corner Of Bukowina
where they are intlIctIng further de-
feats on the army OF General Pflang-
er, now cut off from General Won
Bothmer's forces to the north, and
also along the Stokhod river where
the Austrians and Germans are put
ting up formidable resistance. The
Stokhod is a shallow river but
marshes on either side impede move
ments Of troops and guns.
Across the river fighting is in pro
gress near Svidnik while to the
southeast another force is advancing
on Kovel.

The game was very closl5 contested all the way through and neither side was sure of victory un- til the whistle announced the clos ing minute of play.
 As a curtain raiser to the big game the womens teams put up a thrilling exhibition Their work was characterized by cleverness and dexterty in handling the ball. AL though the visiting team walked home with the hOnors, nevertheless the local team put up one of the sca?riest exhibitions that local fans hlye seen for many 0 day.
 
 The final score was 12 to 6. For the visiting team. Miss COryell SCOT ing two field baskets and Miss Ruby Johnson following with one basket aud two free throws, were the stars.
 The work of Miss Dillon and Miss Baker at guards, was very noticeabl Their ability of retrieving the ball and passing to Q forward was clever " done.
