Villages.

TO REACH HALICZ
Berlin Reports Attacks Repulsed with
Sanguinary Losses-M0nday With
cut Special Incident on Somme
Front in France,
ASSOCIATED Press Summary


Monday proved day without spec
tacular features in any of The war
theatres. On none of the fronts was
a crushing blow delivered, and none
of the war chancellories reported any
great gain.
Probably the most significant move
was that of the British in the Struma
region of Greek Macedonia. After a
hard fight they threw their forces
across the Struma at Nechori. at the
southern end OF Lake Gahines, be-
tween Sores and Orsano, and a. sew
eral other places near the lake. In
addition four villages were captured
and held despite heavy counter at
tacks by the Teutonic allies. Whe-
Their this offensive means the COM
mencement of an attempt at drive
thru Bulgaria or IS merely maneuv-
er to throw the British lines near
Kavala. which is about Is miles east
of Nechori, has not yet been made
apparent.
From the west of the Vardar river
to Lake Dorian. the French are vio-
lently bombarding Bulgarian posi-
tions, and on the front held by the
Serbians the Pulearians have been
compelled to withdraw at several
points.
In the Rumanian theatre. the Aus
trians are retreating in the Mar's
and Toplitza valleys. while to the
south of Hermanstadt the Rumanians
have occupied the village of Helm
Der. Vienna admits a further with
drawal of the Austrian forces near
Gyergvo. HEAVY fighting continues
in Dubrudja. There have been small
infantry engagements along the en-
tire Danube front, hut in neither re-
gicn has any important change re-
suited.
On the eastern front. according to
Berlin, the Russian attacks along the
Stokhod river. northwest of Koval,
and in Galicia, between the Dniester
and Zlota-Lipa rivers, with Halicz as
the objective, failed with sanguinary
losses to the Russians.
Except for bombardments and the
repulse of German counter attacks,
Monday was without special incident
on the Somme front. in France. To
the south, in the sector of Berny-en-
Santerre, Vermandovillers and Chaul-
ness, artillery duels were especially

DROPS HIS GERMAN cAPToR.
French Aviator Loops the Loop and
Then Escapes,

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS. April 22-No stranger tale of
escape from captivity has perhaps ever
been told in the annals of any war than
that narrated by Maj. de v, a
French aviator who was recently cap
tured behind German lines when a
dense foG caused him to lose his bear
ings. Captured by the enemy, this dis
pirited Frenchman was tied to his seat
in his own aeroplane and ordered by a
German aviator officer. who climbed in
behind him, to fly low over the French
lines and not to descend or to signal
to his fellows. under the penalty of in
slant death from a bullet from the Ger
mans revolver.
BY the simple process Of looping the
loop Maj. de v ridded himself of
his unwelcome passenger-captor. who
had not taken the precaution to secure
himself to his seat. This maneuvre.
accomplished after a sudden swift flight
to q higher altitude, was executed SO
unexpectedly that the German onicer
failed to guess his enemy's purpose and
plunged from the machine to his death.
