 LONDON, July 20.-While a strong but unsuccessful German counter of fensive is still being fought out on the British front, the Teutonic armies find themselves again the object of a simul taneous attack on both eastern and western fronts. The recent successful advance having brought the British into line with the French at Harde- court the French offensive, which has been for some time in preparation, has been renewed energeticaIly on both sides of the Somme on a front of about five miles-thus far successfully.
 Official dispatches from the British and French headquarters tonight show a further advance by both armies.
 The British pushed forward their line about 1000 yards north of the Bazentin- -Longueval sector and are still fighting fiercely with the Germans in the outskirts of Longueval and in the Delville wood.
 The French, having renewed their offensive. captured a considerable stretch of German trenches in the neighborhood of Estrees and in en- agreements on both sides of the river have taken nearly 9,OdO additional prisoners.
 At the same time, according to Rome reports, the violent Russian offensive has been resumed in the Carpathians, at Kovel, VladimirV Volynski, and in the Riga sector.

WASHINGTON, July 2O-Senator La Toilette again delayed passage of the naval bill today, continuing until few minutes before adJournement the attack he began yesterday against the measure. As soon as he concluded the senate defeated, A to 8, his amendment to prohibit use of the navy to collect private debts or enforce claims of American citizens or corporations. A substitute by Senator Norris to prevent such employment of naval vessels until court procedure had been exhausted and arbitration denied, also was de- defeated
 In a seven-hour speech, Senator La Toilette contended that the big finan- cial interests of the country centered in two great Wall street groups known as the Morgan and Standard oil Com pany. Speaking on his amendment the Wisconsin senator declared he had been informed on good authority that General Carranza was negotiating agreements along those lines with Latin American countries and latei would ask the United States to enter into it.
 The proposed naval program. Sena- tor La Toilette declared, meant the in auguration of policy to build a navy as great or greater than Great Brit aims within the next ten years.
 But when we have done that, wha then?' he continued. When you build, England and Germany vii build more. You will drive them to i and after you have spent your $315, 00,000, you will just find yourselves il a new place to star. Your only limi then will be the limit of taxation upo
