FALLS BEFORE RUSSIANS.

London.-The British won complete
control OF Pozieres, the last houses
which the German had Iucceeded in
retaining is the ruined village being
carried in night fighting.
The capture OF Pozieres is one Of
the most important successes yet won
in the British offensive. The village
stands on high ground, dominating a
great sweep OF the plateau over which
the battle of the last three weeks has
been fought. 1t gives General Haig
artillery command OF the new Ger
man positions to the eastward.
The village had been converted into
a veritable fortress. Each house
bristled with machine guns and each
road was filled with barricades from
which terrific fire was directed on
the English and Australian troops
Every house and barn presented a
separate obstacle and each was won
after a battle at close quarters In
which the grenade and bayonet play
ed the principal part. The losses on
both sides were very heavy.
Erzingan, the strongly fortified
Turkish city in central Armenia, fell
into the hands OF the Russian eau.
casus army under Grand Duke Mich
olas, who thus has cleared the whole
OF Armenia OF Turks.
Russia has 100000 men under
arms and they are fully equipped 1t
is believed that Russia will throw
an Overwhelming number OF troops
into the Armenian campaign. will take
Sivas and begin a series OF attacks
upon Constantinople.
Germany has sealed the Belgian
frontier. She Is pouring great masses
OF troops into the west md the from
tier has been closed as precaution
against any OF their movements be
coming known.

SWEEP GERMANS
FROM TRENCHES
British and French in Heavy
Artillery Assault to Take
Advanced Third Line
STRONG S0MME OFFENSIVE

London.-Advanced sections OF the
German third line were swept away
by the British and French in a tre
mendous artillery assault on front
OF eight miles. From east OF Delyille
wood 10 the Somme the blow was
struck and whole systems OF trenches
the work OF months, were carried
More than 500 prisoners were cap
aured.
The most pronounced gains were
made by the British. Colonial troops
rushed forward beyond the Waterloo
Farm, Trones Wood and the Haltzorn
Farm, formerly mere outposts OF the
British front, breaking well beyond
the frontiers OF the German third
line. and establishing themselves IN
strong positions.
This victory puts the Franco-Briti0h
allies in a position 10 strike a power
ful blow at Combles, the strong Ger
man point OF support between Ba-
paume and Peronne. II also marks
a further advance OF the wedge which
Is being driven into the Kaiser's front
between these two key positions OF
the 100mile Noyon salient.
Berlin reports the repulse OF ten
tative night attacks by the British
I'm the Pozieres section, while Gen
eral Haig, in a dispatch, says there
was no fighting thereabout. The ar
tillery fire OF the British is steady
dy gaining in strength until 1t has
drawn amased comment by the Ger
man general staff.
A strong offensive has been develop
ed by the German Crown Prince on
the eastern bank Of the Meuse. South
OF Neury and west OF the Thiamount
work German attacks were launched.
They have been uniformly repulsed,
the French War Office announces. II
is believed the object Is to prevent
the transfer Of French troops to the
Somme. A heavy bombardment is
proceeding along the front northeast
OF Verdun.
The British statement says three
hostile aeroplanes were destroyed and
several others were forced TO land
in a damaged condition.
The French War Office reports that
in series OF assaults French troops
carried an entire system of German
trenches north of the Somme on a
front OF nearly one-half mile.

GERMAN PLIGHT ADMITTED
"Frankfurter zeitung" Calls Nstlor
"Besieqed Fortress"

London. Grave admission of Ger
manys plight is contained In a re.
view OF the war up 10 date in the
Frankfurter Zeitung, which says in
part: Germany is a besleged fortress.
Therefore everything depends upon
the besiegers as 20 when an end will
be made of the bloody work. That
Germany will never haul down its flag
we know very well; but our enemies
do not know IT,"
