SITUATION ALONG THE
EUROPEAN WAR FRONT

Attacking along a seven-mile
front, running from Thiepval
through the villages of Poz1eres
and Longueval to Guillcmont, in
the Somme region of France, the
British have captured the outer
works of Pozieres, according to
British official communications.
Longueval also was taken, but the
Germans in heavy counter-at-
tack, regained the northern end
OF the village. During Sunday
the outskirts of Guillemont twice
changed hands. The fighting,
which is described as being of in
tense violence, continues from
Pozieres to Guillemont.
Berlin is at variance with the
British official communication,
declaring that along the entire
line the attacks of the British
were fruitless and that they SUI
fered heavy casualties. Around
Pozieres and the Foureaux wood
the combatants came to grips in
hand-to-hand fighting.
South of the Somme Sunday
was relatively calm, following
strong attacks Saturday night,
against the French near Soye-
court, which Paris asserts broke
down under the French fire. The
Germans in the Nerdun sector, ac-
cording to Berlin, have gained
some ground south of Damloup.
Considerable heavy artillery acti-
witty has been in progress at va
rious other points around Nerdun. !
The Austrians in the Carpa-
THAN region, threatened with
heavy Russian attack in the dis
Irict southeast of Tatarow, have
withdrawn their forces toward
the main ridge of the Carpathians,
the Vienna War Office announc-
IS. Petrograd reports the capture
Of additional men and guns inI
ibis region.
While unofficial adviccs from
Petrograd give a report of a five
mile gain by the Russians in the
Riga region, the Berlin War Off
&c says Russian attempts to adj
southeast OF that city were
broken UP by the Germans, as al
so was maneuver in which the
,rossing Of the Styr river in Vol ,
1ynia was the objective. On the
o-her hand, Petrograd asserts
hat the Germans attempted an
attack on the Stokhod river in
olhynia, but were compelled to
-etire, and that an effort of the
Iermans to recapturc lost posi-
ions near Snorgoh, to the east
u Wilma, proved futile.
Fresh advances by the Italians
against the Austrians in the
Irentino and Dolomites sectors
Of the Austro-Italian theater are
,hronicled in the Rome official
communications, and further
gains by the Russians against
Turks in the Black sea littor-
and farther south near Erzinqan
are reported by Petrograd.
