ALL ALLIED ARMIES
STRIKING TOGETHER
Entente Offensive on So Many
Fronts Indicates They Are
o. Operating.
COLLAPSE OF AusTR1ANs

London, July 1.-THE results Of the
staff conferences Of the entente allies
in London in May and June are be-
coming continually more apparent in
the coordination of the allied attacks
on the Teutonic forces and increasing

now are engaged in recognizing and
preparing for the second phase Of the
battle Of the Somme, there is COM
parative lull on the western front,
and Russia again takes the center Of
the stage. Today's news from Petro-
grad is highly important in the light

doubt of the collapse of the Austrian
forces between Buczacz and Stan

army Of General Won Bothmer, COM
pelling him to retire northward, while
the advance on Delatyn and the seiz-
ure of the railway cuts off Won Both

The prospect of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg being able to make an
effective diversion is believed here to
be dwindling, while the Germans are
desperately engaged in trying to meet
the Russian offensive at Haranoyichi,
the Russian General Kaledines is de-

of the Kiev-Kovel railway.
Problem for Teutons.
The question arises among military
men here as to how Germany can
come to the assistance Of its Austrian
allies without further depicting its
forces on the western front, and it is
considered impossible for Austria to
risk Withdrawing more of its own
troops from the Italian front
