Central Powers Gains

The Berlin statement says in part
1.-THE end of the second year of the
war finds that the Central Powers have
occupied by the force of their arms,
ALL 900 square kilometers of land as
compared with 10000 occupied dur
ing the first year. The enemy now oc.
eupies Of land formerly held by the
Teutonic allies, $4,000 square kilo-
meters Of land as against l. 900 taken
from US during the first year of the
war.
"Nor is this all of the material gains
made by the Central Powers. We have
taken 2,65S,000 of the enemy soldiers at
the various fronts, as against 1,695,000
taken by the Allies. The Germanic
troops have brought back to Germany
vast masses of booty of all descriptions.
Part of it consists of II ,036 cannon,
100000 shells of various calibres, $3.50
machine guns, and one and one half mil
lion Of rifles
Wounded Fight Again
"While the losses of the Teutonic
powers have been large we have been
able to return to the fighting front 90.2
percent of all wounded soldiers. One
and four tenths percent of all wounded
have died from their wounds, and the
rest have been found unfit for active
service or released to civil life.'
In another official statement issued
last night the German General staff
reports on the conduct of the war at
the eastern and western fronts North
west of kOvel, it is declared, there was
increased intensity of fighting, the Rus
slams having brought up large numbers
of reinfOrcements. This resulted in
series of fierce hand to hand combats,
in the course of which the Russians
managed to penetrate the German lines
at several points. but counter attacks
elected them.
Allies Are Repulsed
In speaking of the fighting on the
S0mme battletields, the Berlin accounts
say that the attacks by the British and
French were successfully repulsed by
the Germans and the enemy hurled back
with great loss. In the vicinity of Po-
zieres and LOngueval, adds the des.
patch, the lighting was particularly des-
perate. The British attacks failed.'
The French and British official ac-
counts give different version of the
struggle, and PetrOgrad reports con.
tinued successes in the neighbOrhoOd of
=, KOvel, west of BrOdy, south of the
Dneister river and in the Caucasus,
where the Turks are said to have twice
attacked and twice suffered repulse
that cost them dearly.
Canadians Engaged -.
South Of Ypres, where the Canadian
troops have been facing the Germans
for months, they attacked yesterday
and forced the Teutons out of two
trenches, besides inficting heavy losses
upon the enemy. The Germans retail
ated by attacking Canadian positions
near the famous Hohenzollern redoubt
and driving the Canadians out.
Between the Somme and the DelviIle
wood the British advanced their whole
line, driving the Germans still farther
back In that district and keeping pace
with a brilliant attack made by the
French from HardecOurt, where their
lines Join those of the British to the
famous SormOnt farm, on the banks of
the S6mme itself.
