LONDON, July 13-The recovery OF
the Russian army since their defeats
of last year and the apparently mex
haustible supply of guns and ammuni-
ton with which they are provided con-
tinues to be a source Of wonder to mill
tary writer's. AT least six great ar
mics are engaged against the Austrians
and Germans on Russia's western
front. All Of them are using great
quantities of ammunition.
Turks Driven Back.
The forces under Grand Duke Mich
olas in Armenia and Persia have been
fighting vigorously against the Turks
for months. A few weeks ago parts
Of these forces, particularly those
west Of Erzerum, were compelled to
fall back in the face Of stronger
Turkish army. Early this week the
grand duke resumed the offensive in
this region and recaptured Mamakha-
tum, fifty miles west Of Erzerum, so
that the Turks have fallen back from
twenty-five miles from the farthest
point reached in their counter often
slve.
Meanwhile the armies directly south
Of the Pinsk marshes are fighting a
pitched battle with the Austro-German
forces Of General Won Linsingen along
the line of the Stokhod river. 1t
probably will be some days before the
decision is reached as the Teutons
have brought up very strong re-en-
forcements in the hope Of retaining
possession of Kovel, loss Of which
would necessitate a regrouping over
long stretch of the front North
of the Pinsk marshes the fighting at
present is largely with artillery. In
IIalicia the Russian armies are reform
ing for continuation Of the offensive.
Seventh Great Onslaught.
In the west the renewed efforts OF
the German crown prince at Verdun
temporarily are taking precedence in
the public mind over the battle OF
the Somme. The attack just delivered
by the Germans before Verdun is the
seventh great onslaught with dense
masses Of troops since the operations
began five months ago. The Germans
have made slight gain but apparent
Iy this has not lessened the conf
dence of the French in their ability
to hold fast. They Still have three
solid lines of defenses which must be
penetrated before the German objec-
tive can be gained
The British are still engaged IN
clearing the Germans from fortified
nositions which must be taken before
