The operations on the Russian
front where the Slav offensive con-
tinues to spread and develop in
power, are being watched with the
greatest interest here. London mill
tary critics are certain that the re-
tirement OF General Won Bothmer's
army under Russian pressure In east
ern Galicia, is now but matter OF
days.
On the other hand, wild rumors
that the Austro- Germans have begun
a general retreat from Riga to south
eastern Galicia are discredited by all
reliable news sources and are not
borne out in official dispatches from
Petrograd, London has hign hopes
for the success OF the new Slav ofen-
sive, but does not entertain the be-
lief that General Won Hindenburg's
line can be smashed with the same
ease as was General Planners In
Bukovina.
General Haig's report this after
noon announced minor engagements
on the British front extending north
ward from Ancre brook.
AT Gommencourt. the 'cene Of
heavy fighting at the opening of the
allied drive, British field guns and
trench mortars bombarded German
trenches last night, Near Neuvllle--
St vaast, north OF Arras and north
OF Roclincourt the Germans were ac-
tive yesterday and last night. They
exploded mine northeast OF Neu-
vile without causing any damage and
exploded craters near the Hohenzoll-
ern redoubt with no advantage.
Northeast OF Hulluch British
mine destroyed an enemy gallery.
British aeroplanes gave valuable
service yesterday despite the untav-
orable weather. They aided In Inn
portant reconnaissance work and
wrecked an enemy hangar, besides
doing other material damage.

GERMANY WORRIED

London, July S.-The London

anxiety in Germany on account Of
the western and eastern offensives Of
the allies.
The kaiser. one English CORES
pondent reported, is travelling from
front to front, comforting with his
generals. each advising against the
reduction Of his forces for the benefit
Of others.
Another correspondent wired that
the crown prince Is being blamed for
perslsting In the verdun offensive
while his forces are urgently needed
In the Somme. Military circles In
Germany, he reported, are discon-
tented because OF Austrla's weakness.
To complete the picture Of pess-
imism. several English correspond
ents agreed that the food situation
In Germany Is growing more serlons,
The Frankfurter zeItung was quoted
as saying that the great fisht for Vic

SJPER.0FFENS|VE Of THE ALLIED
ARMIES ENTERS UPON SECOND WEEK

London. July S.--The super-offen-
sive OF the allied armies entere,. its
second week today with the allies
everywhere attacking and maintain
ing their early gains at practically
every point. despite heavy enemy
counter-attacks.
A heavy downpour OF rain through
out yesterday afternoon converted the
battle ground on both sides OF the
Somme into a great sea Of mud last
night and seriously hampered opera
tons. Despite this handicap. the
French war office today claimed slight
further progress south of the Somme
with the taking of 400 prisoners.
The British troops north of the
Somme, after scoring successes
against the Germans In yesterdays
aghting, contented themselves last
night with improving their positions.
The fighting at the village of Con-
talmaison reached deadlock during
the night with the British holding
the western and the Germans the
eastern part OF the ruined town.
No official estimates Of either the
German or British losses have been
made by the war Office since the Of
fensive began at 1880 last Saturday
morning, July 1, but the Germans
are unofiicially reported to have lost
from 10000 to 10000 in killed and
wounded besides nearly 10000 taken
prisoners by the British and French
Special dispatches from Paris today
report that 5000 Prussian Guards
men, the flower OF the kaisers army,
were killed In the early days OF the
fighting. but this may be an exag-
geration.
General Haig reported that In the
last few days the British have cap
tured twenty guns. 81 machine guns,
numerous automatic rifles. trench
mortars, mine throwers and other
war material. ."' lai Ya

NO SETTLEMENT
OF STRIKE IN VIEW

Virginia. Mimi, July S.--Five
thousand striking iron ore miners at
Aurora, Biwabik. Mesaba. Mckinley,
;;ss,,ba, Gilbert, Genoa, Eveleth, vir-
ginia. Kinney, Nashwauk. Hibbing
and Chrisholm today seemed little
nearer solution Of their strike than
one month ago. when the differences
that have caused three deaths and
four injuries started. Practically
every underground property in the
Mesaba iron ore range is closed. Open
pits are working a few men with
steam shovels. but the majority Of
mining on the range is underground.
County Attorney Warren Green to-
day said he would charge agitators OF
the strike that resulted In the killing
on the range with first degree mur-
der.
Picketing continued today, with
hundreds of miners keeping watch,
but without riots, All the vast ter
ritory affected is in one county. The
sheriff has 1000 armed deputies, who
fairly well control the situation.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and other
labor leaders, "Big Bill' Haywood
and other l. w. w. leaders from Chi
cago are expected on the range today.
Sheriff Meining asked that they not
come, The absence OF any agitators
and the disarmament Of all except his
1000 deputies, he said today, prob
ably would solve the difficulties.
Miners today asked for a confer
ence with operators. They claim they
are willing to submit arbitration to
a board. Practically every strike
leader was In jail at Duluth today
The kitchen and rear OF the home
Of Tom Kobiach, a miner who did not
quit work, was blown away by dyna-
mite at 8 a, m. today. Angelo Men
ana, italian striker. was arrested on
suspicion this afternoon. KobIach
and his family narrowly escaped
death.

AUSTRIAN FORCE
NEAR KOLOhEA IS

Petrograd, July S.--An Austrian
force. estimated at between 10000
and $4,000, has been cut of by the
Russians southwest Of Kolomea. The
Austrians were massed east OF the
railway leading southward through
Jablonitza pass. The sudden .dash
of a Russian infantry body that
seized the railway station Of Miklu-
iczyn, cnt on their retreat to the
south. The right wing OF the same
Russian army advancing westward
upon Nadvorna severed their commu-
nication with the Austrian forces to
the north.
The latest reports to the war Of
flee said that Russian troops were
attempting to squeeze the Austrians
against the foothills OF the eastern
Carpathians and effect their capture
before they can escape through the
passes.
Russian aeroplane scouts report the
withdrawal Of enemy heavy artil-
lery on the right wing Of General
Won Bothmer's Austro- German army.
There are other indications that Won
Bothmer hard pressed by the Rus
slams advancing on Nadvorna and
Stanislau. is preparing to fall back
on the whole Galician frontier.
