London, July 29.-The British
front is withstanding Germany's most
powerful attacks. Artillery hammer
ing and massed attack with hand-to
hand fighting have so far failed TO
dent the lines advanced by the recent
British offensive, General Haig in
dicated in his report today.
1t is the belief Of military experts
here that the kaiser is now utilizing
the great reserves concentrated In
front Of the British line from verdun
and other points on the eastern battle
front in bitter endeavor to wrest
back from the British the land they
have captured In the last few days.
Despite this. Haig reported continued
progress today.
Haig's narrative indicated a par
ticularly heavy engagement beyond
Pozieres, from which newly captured
point the British are trying to push
on toward Bapaume. There the com
bat was marked by unceasing hand
to-hand fighting. Just north Of
|Longueval, at Delville wood, British
positions are under intense pressure
from the German lines. How san
culinary this lighting along the line
from Thiepval to Longueval has been
was confirmed In Haig's opinion that
two or three German regiments--pre-
sumably the Brandenburgers
annihilated in Delville woods.
The Russians have made further
gigantic strides. both in the eastern
battle zone and In the Caucasus, ac-
cording TO Petrograd. From Tarno-
pol Russian forces under General
Lecslcki, chief Of stan to General
Gllinski. OF the Fourth Russian army
