Berlin Reports Efforts 70 Check British
Flood Of Men 10 Successful.
Berlin, via London, July S.-Todays
news from the western front throws
little light on the fighting Of the last
twenty-four hours, but advices re-
ceived here show the fighting Just
preceding was most intense at three
points, at Thieval around Hem, and
in the region eight to ten miles south
OF the Somme, In the first district
there was a succession Of bitter at
lacks and counter attacks The Brit
ish several times obtained foothold
on Thieval but each time were elected.
Their losses are described as extra
ordinarily heavy"
The only British success, and this
was unimportant, was the capture of
trenches east Of LaBoisselle, only
short distance east Of the original Ger
man line.
Loss Of Hem Admitted.
The Germans have thrown a strong
dam around the British food wave and
attempts to break. the dam have been
unsuccessful. The capture of Hem was
accomplished by the French only after
three desperate attempts. The first
two onslaughts were repulsed. The
third assault gave them possession Of
the village.
The fighting at Estrees and Belloy-
en-Santerre also was Of hand to hand
character. The wave Of battle swept
back and forth with both French and
Germans resorting chiefly to the use
OF the bayonet and hand grenades,
fishting with utmost desperation. The
losses, as to be expected in this sort
o6 Sighting, were very heavy. The
French dnally remained masters Of
Belloy.
The German commanders have pre-
pared for Attempts OF the enemy to
extend tho front by the allies but as
yet no serious endeavor in this direc-
tion has been reported. s
Russians Repulsed.
Heavy attacks by the Russians
against German troops of Prince Leo
pold have been repulsed with the loss
of thousands in dead to the attacking
forces, according to today's official war
office statement.
/. Russian assaults northwest Of Buc-
zacz in Galicia also were fruitless, and
In volhynia the Germans gained ad--
vantages south Of Lutsk.
