SERBS STRIKE
ON WHOLE LINE
Driven Back in First AS
saults Against the
Bulgars.

London, July 29.-At the dawn Of the
third year of the great war Serbia's
valiant army, it's ranks depleted but
its spirit undaunted, has again taken
up the fight to win back It's country and
freedom for its people.
Along the entire Macedonian front
King Peters troops have swept forward
to the attack after days Of methodical
preparation. For the first time since
last fall the plains and hills Of Mace.
donia are echoing with the thunder OF
guns and the tramp Of feet.
SO far the Serbs have been checked
by the Bulgarians. Sofa officially re-
ports the repulse of assaults on the
Rahovo-S -Shorsko front and near the vii
lage of Polar with heavy losses to the
attackers. Counter charges won Ser
bian trenches, the statement adds.
Coincident with the renewal of actiy-
tiles in the Balkans come reports from
Bucharest that negotiations between
Turkey and Rumania regarding the err
change of supplies have been broken
off, and that the Rumanian army has
been brought into harmony with the
anti German policies of the Cabinet by
the appointment of q friend of Premier
Bratiano a. chief of the general staff.
This move, which brings General
lliescu into General Zottus post, Is
regarded as an indication OF the in
creasing pro-Ally tendencies Of the
country.
New-York tribune., 1916-07-30
Washington Officials De-
cline Request to Give the
Deutschland Protection.
WILL DASH TO SEA
TO-DAY, 1T is THOUGHT
Government Guards Neutrality
by Failing to Help the Sub
marine Escape.

Washington, July Especial pro-
lection for the German merchant SUB
marine Deutschland when she starts
out of American territorial waters was
asked Of the American government late
to-day, with the. intimation the boat
would leave Baltimore tomorrow.
After conferences among State,
Treasury and Navy Department officials
it was ruled no extraordinary precau-
tions could be ordered, because the
United States views the Deutschland
as an ordinary merchantmen.
1t is understood the application for
protection was made through the Col
lector of Customs at Baltimore, and
that Captain Koenig, the submarine
commander, desired a coast guard cut
ter or naval vessel to escort him down
Chesapeake Bay and to the three-mile
limit.
Unless steps are taken to prevent it,
the submarine probably will be fol-
lowed out by a fleet of small craft,
carrying newspaper correspondents,
photographers and sightseers. 1t is
said, too, the Germans fear some Brit
ish merchant ship might go to sea in
the wake of the Deutschland, advertis-
ing her presence to the Allied cruisers
waiting off the Virginia Capes. or even
attempting to ram her as soon as she
left American territorial waters.
Officials of the state Department
held that while neutrality must be
fully safeguarded, it would be a bad
precedent for the government to con-
voy or accord any other unusual atten-
tion to a vessel which can be rated
Only as a merchantmen.
Since the reported incursion of a
British cruiser between the Virginia
capes last week, the armored cruiser
North Carolina and three destroyers
have been patrolling off Cape Henry.
The conferences to-day were between
Acting Secretary Phillips of the State
Department, Secretary Daniels of the
Navy and officials Of the customs divi-
sion of the Treasury.

Teuton Losses in Great
Drive Put at
100000.
BRODY CAPTURED
WITHOUT ARTILLERY
Onslaught SO Sudden That the
Russian Infantry Easily Con-
quered the Town.

Petrograd, July 29.-After being com
pelled to halt their advance for sew
eral weeks before combined Austrian
and German resistance on the northern
wing Of General Brussilof's front the
Russians have again scored an impor-
tant success and are pressing the Teu-
tons back along the entire front from
the Kovel-Lutsk railway as far south
as Brody.
Although the official War Office state
ment gives no particulars of this new
penetration of the Teutonic lines, it
apparently took place south OF kiselin,
on the Vladimir-Volynski highway, and
was a direct blow at the Austro-Ger
man army defending Vladimir-Volyn-
ski.
The unexpected widening Of the
breach begun at Lutsk in the early
days of the summer campaign that
has thus been effected is considercd
more significant than the occupation
Of Brody, which was a foregone con
clusion some days ago, the fate OF
Brody being sealed when General SAX
haroff scored his brilliant victory on
the River Slonevka.
Threaten Kovel.
The new Russian attack south Of
Lutsk not only threatens Vladimir
Volynski, but opens the possibility OF
a successful attack upon kovel from
the south, since an important railway
line connects these points. The proX-
unity of the Russians TO Sokal likewise
constitutes a definite threat at Lem
berg from that direction. The chief
significance of the new advance, how
ever. is the fact that it is the first
decisive success scored by the Russians
against German forces in the present
campaign.
Since the first breach of the Lutsk
front the Germans, taking over the
defence of Kovel, had been able to
hold the Russians on the line of the
Stokhod The combined effect of the
two Russian advances-toward Vladi-
mir-Volynskl and toward Brody-has
now been to drive the Austro German
armies back along a sixty-mile front.
The fall of Brody, however, has not as
yet seriously awakened expectations Of
an immediate pressing on to Lemberg
by the Russians.
Lemberg Well Defended.
Military critics call attention to the
strong natural and artificial defences
protecting the Galician capital. II IS
expected that the Austrians will make
their first stand in the forests i'm
mediately west of Brody along the
bend in the Styr.
According to semi-official informa-
ton, Brody was taken without artillery
preparation by an irresistible rush Of
the infantry. The onslaught was so
sudden and unexpected that the Aus
trians had no time to remove their
enormous depots of munitions and pro-
visions, which they endeavored to de
stroy, but large part of which fell
into Russian hands.
The latest computation Of prisoners
taken during the first half of the
summer campaign gives total OF
$4,000, according TO Russian officers,
who estimate also that the total Aus
tro- German losses, including killed
and wounded, are close to 10000. On
the basis of these figures Colonel
Shumsky, military critic of the "Bourse
Gazette" argues that the Austro-Ger-
man losses since the beginning of the
war have been fully half the total Of
their available forces.
