e(Associated Press Summary

Associated Press Summary
The entente allies, in the main
theatres of the war, have made addi-
tional notable gains against the leu
tonic allies. Big advances for them
in France, Galicia and along the Aus
tro-Italan front, are recorded in the
last communications issued by the
French, Russian and Italian war Of
fees.
In France, General Joffre's men
have taken German trenches three
and three-fourth miles in length and
from 300 to 500 metres in depth, in
the last two days, have again won a
foothold in the Thiaumont works near
Verdun and CAPTURED two lines of Ger
man trenches on the Vaux-C hapitre-
Chenois front.
The British, on their part of the
battle line, in the Somme region, near
Guillemote, have thrown forward
their line about 400 yards.
The Russians are continuing their
driving wedge westward in Galicia, in
the region about Stanislau. Here
ditional towns and villages from the
Petrograd are continuing to develop
their advantage.
In all, says Petrograd, territory
amounting to 81 IL square miles has
been captured by the Russians and
the pursuit Of the Austro- Germans is
still going on.
The Gorilla bridgeheads, key to the
advance to Trieste, and over which
Austrians and Italians have fought
for many months, have at last fallen
into the hands of Italians and the city
of Gorilla is being shelled by them in
an endeavor to drive out the defend
ers. In the fighting, the Italians
took more than 5000 prisoners and
large number of guns, machine guns,
and a quantity of war material.
Vienna admits that the Austrian
troops were withdrawn to the Eastern
Isonzo in order to avoid severe losses,
but says the fighting in the Gorilla
continues with undated stubborn
ness and that the Austrians have re-
pulsed Italian attacks.
