r oNDoN, July 2l-Once again the
i !. Allies, east ana west are smashing
with sledge hammer blows at the
lines Of the Teutons. British and French
in the west have driven the German units
out of their positions, the British for q
depth of more than one thousand yards
between I.ongueval and Bezantin, and
the French south of the river Somme
over a front Of more than five miles,
yesterday took the entire system of
first line trenches, which were the third
line when the assault began two weeks
ago, and 1000 German prisoners as well.
Along the eastern. line the period nf
waiting for reinforcements and a fresh
supply Of ammunition for the Rnssial
kasniee, hassAnparently, come Co an end
and General Brussilof Is again hurting
dense masses of men against the Ger
man lines east Of Koyel on the Stok-
hod river. From north to south of the
fifteen hundred mile front the Slavs are
laundering ceaselessly at the weakening
| German lines. ~ N. IT,. 80 -s.'
Observers Predict Break -.
Already the neutral critics are begin
ming to wonder how much longer the
thinned lines Of the two Kaisers can
continue to hold their present positions.
| The extended lines of the Germans and
Austrians served well enough, 1t Is
pointed out, as long as the allies were
content to sit in their trenches and wait
for the assault of the Teutonic armies,
but now that the role has been changed
and the soldiers of the Entente, are do
ing the attacking the situation is be-
coming desperate for the Germans and
their southern allies, il Is asserted.
Only the vast number Of machine
guns and their splendid system of en-
trenchments, it is declared by critics of
neutral nations, have enabled the Teu-
tons to hold fast for 80 long under
blows unequalled even in this most stu
pendous of all wars. Until now Ger.
many and Austria, or rather the Gen
trail powers, including Bulgaria and
Turkey, have been on the offensive
Now they are on the defensive and the
neutrals are looking with amazement n
the stand the Teutons are making.
