have struck another hard blow at the
Teutonic allies and captured along the
Sereth and Graberld rivers south Of
Brodv. six villages held by the Teu-
tons ana the entire ridge on which
they are located.
Furious fighting marked the en-
Eagement, the Russians being forced
in the villages to drive their adver-
saries from house to house. The Aus
trO-Germans, at last reports, were
bOmbarding violently their lost posi-
tiOns.
In the fighting the Russians cap
tured a regimentaI commander, 140
other officers, and more than $500
men and also took numerous machine
guns and bomb throwers.
Berlin admits that the Russians
f have gained the left bank Of the Sc
reth river. but asserts that the Ger
mans have made progress against the
French in the Chapitre woods near
sNerdun and in mining operations
against them in the ArgOune; that the
Russians have been driven from posi-
tiOns along the StoShOd river south
of Xarecze and that in the Carpath-
lans the Germans are still operating
successfully.
Slight advances for the British at
the SOmme front and by the French

In Asiatic Turkey the Russians re-
port the capture at various places of
new Turkish positions. In the Kial-
kit-|ha river basin positions, protect
ed by five lines Of trenches, were
wrested from the Turks, while south
of Erzingan and west Of the village
Of Ognut additional trenches and two
of Mush and Bitilis the Turks have
assumed the offensive, but Petrograd
says they are being held by the Rus
sian fire. The 900 Turkish troops
operating on a seven mile front from
east against the Suez canal also have
been defeated by the British and
forced to fee, leaving more than $500
prisoners behind them, including some
Germans, says London. In addition
the Otto Mans suffered heavy casual
ties. Australian and New ealand cav
airy took an important part in the
fighting.
In the Austro italian theatre the
AustTians are heavily bOmbarding the
Italians between Adige and Upper
Isonzo rivers and the Pasubio area,
While in tho SUguna valley and the

$1o2,ooo,0Oo SUIT AGAINST FORMER
NEW HAVEN Road DIRECTORS
viii Be Decided by the Full Bench Of
Massachusetts, Suprenne Court.

Massachusetts Supreme Court.
Boston, Aug. 6-T1e full bench of
the state supreme court will be called
upon to determine the merits Of the
suit for recovery Of $1020000 900 from
former directors of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad for al
legged improper expenditures between
1904 and 1909. Judge Crosby, it was
announced yesterday, has referred
demurreTs and special Dleadings in the
suit, which was brought by trustees of
tho will of Olea Bull Vaughn and 9TH
er minority stockholders of the road.
The plaintiffs contend that the
directors made vast expenditures un-
wisely and without authority in the
purchase of steam and electric rail-
way lines and steamship enterprises
in an effort to effect a monopoly Of
transportation in New England.
The suit was before the full court
two years ago when II was decided the
minority stockholders could not MAIN
tain the bill until it was shown that
the present directors had refused to
bring proceeding against their pred
ecessOrs. Since then the plaintiffs by
various amended declarations and pro-
cesses claim they have overcome the
obstacles pointed out by the court, and
are now entitled to go forward because
Of the hostile attitude of the present
board of directors. The corporation
and Individual defendants have ans
wered by contention that the plaintiffs
are still without right to proceed.
