RUSSIANS GAINING GROUND BY BAYoNEr CHARGES

Rome-The continued German gains
around Verdun have aroused dissatis-
faction in France, not only with the
War Office but with Gen. Joffre, ac-
cording to advices from Swiss sources.
Paris newspapers are said to have
been warned by the authorities
against criticising Joffre.
The French War Office reported a
lull in infantry fighting in the Yer
dun region. Near Hill 2S5 the French
blew up mine and occupied the
crater.
In the Woevre district there were
outbursts OF artillery fire in the Sec
tors OF Moulainville and Eparges, both
sides taking part.
Unremitting in their sustained ad-
vance to force evacuation by the
French of positions northwest OF Yer
dun dominating the Paris-verdun rail-
way, the Germans captured two more
trenches in the Haucourt region, the
Berlin War Office announced.

HUeE RUSSIAN oEEEMsluE.

London.-All along the western line
the Russians continued with success
their tremendous offensive movement
against the Germans. Both the Rus
sian and German reports indicate that
the attacking armies apparently have
unlimited supplies of men and ammu.
nition' and experts predict that as an
indirect result the Crown Prince will
nave to lessen his pressure on Yer
dun' where the Germans are still
keeping up with some success the
terrific assault begun about four
weeks ago.
Besides the western operations the
Russians under Grand Duke Nicholas
are Keeping up their campaign in
Mesopotamia and Asia Minor. The
Turks evacuated Erzingan. town
about 12O miles west OF Erzerum and
on branch OF the Bagdad. .Constan.
tnople Railway.
The Russian offensive against the
Germans in northwest Russia Is be.
ing pressed day and night. Rus
sian general headquarters reported
that desperate infantry fighting Is pro.
ceeding north OF the town OF Postavy,
where the Germans launched violent
counter-attscks in an attempt to dis
lodge the Russians from trenches
which they had previously captured.
Respecting this operation the Berlin
communication says that at this point
the Russians delivered their heaviest
attack. and their losses reached "ex-
trsordinary high figures, even for the
number Of Russians in action"
