Allies Gains Trivial
Says German Expert
By MAI, MORABT.

Military expert Of the Beriiner Tssebiatt.
Berlin, July 3.-For US the loss
of some places Immediately behind
the first line is of no great tacti-
cal significance. The gain at the
beginning of the attack was only
very slight, for it was only an ad-
vance of one or two kilometers.
English headquarters makes no
mention of French divisions
fighting on the right wing hsv-
ing advanced with great yigor
and bravery, but there also the
gain of ground is very slight.
Further, the English state that
the fury of the struggle con-
tinually increases. and that .he
Germans make counter-attacks
and offer stubborn resistance.
This proves that the Germans
have reserves at hand and have
not allowed themselves to be
disturbed by the effect of the
allies artillery.
