LONDON, July 7.-Capture by the
British Of German trench on front
of 1000 yards cast Of La Boiselle IN
the Somme region was announced ON
cially Friday.
The British resumed the offensive
on certain sectors east OF Albert at
dawn Friday. At the same time the
Germans launched heavy attacks on
the British trenches near Ancre. Vlo-
lent lighting is now in progress.
British Make Progress.
In the vicinity OF Ovillers and Con-
talmaison, as well as near La Boiselle,
the British made progress. In the re-
glon of Thlepval the Germans regained
section Of lost ground.
The second phase OF the great bait
tie on the western front has now be-
gun. The artillery has been brought
IN to new positions and is again bat
tering the German defenses. The bonn
bnrdment extends as far northward as
La Bassee and Armentleres and, ac-
cordIng to the latest unofficial advlces,

positions and tho roads in their rear
and until the infantry again leaves the
trench It will be uncertain where the
next attacks are to be launched.
Germans Withdraw.
In addition to inllIcting losses on
the Germans in mon, guns and terri
tory, the Anglo-Trench offensive is re-
ported 20 have compelled them to
withdraw some Of their forces from
the Verdun front. Consequently It Is
expected that the army which has for
five months wlthstood the German at
tacks in that region will have some
relief.
On the eastern front the Russians,
who now apparently have an even bet
ter supply Of guns and ammunition
than their adversarles, seem to pass
from one phase to the next without in-
Permission. General Letchitzky's army
which conquered Bukowina and cut
the railway between Delatyn and
Korosmezo is advancing in an effort
completely to overcome the Austrian
forces on that front. General Kale-
dimes is continuing to deliver heavy
strokes against the Austrians and
Germans who are endeavoring to keep
him from Kovel.
New Russian Offensive.
The Russians to the north have IN.
augurated an offensive from Riga tq
Baranovlchl. Along the north end Of
the line from Riga to Dvlnsk a great
bombardment has begun, while from
a point east of Wilma to Baranovichi ar
tillery preparation was followed by Inc
fantry attacks in which the Russians
report they made many prisoners, re-
pulsing German counter attacks.
Near Smorgon the Russians and Ger
mans also are engaged in severe
struggle. Roumania, 1t is said here
is awaiting some move by the Entente
forces at Salonlkl. The near east IS
interested in the battles throughout
the Caucasus and Mesopotamia.
The Russian army which was ads
vancing toward Bagdad has fallen
back some eighty miles under pressure
from great Turkish forces which were
brought against 1t, but elsewhere from
the Black sea to the Persian frontier
the Russians are more than holding
their own. No news has been received
recently from the British army u
Mesopotamia, but 1t is believed mac
