near VOLTA Sadovska we seized the
first line Of enemy trenches. We
stopped By artillery fire an enemy
attack on Schal'ne.
"ln the region OF the lower Lipa the
enemy made a most stubborn attack
without result. The enemy. who

seven officers and 257 men and captured
two machine guns.
"On the Galician front, in the direc-
ton OF the Carpathians. there was an
artillery action. Our left wing con
tinues to press tho enemy back. On

RUSSIANS LOSE
KERMANSHAH
Turks Take Persian Town
After Stubborn Battle
Lasting Two Days.

Constantinople, July 3 via London,
July 6).-The Russians have lost ker.
manshah. after a fierce battle which
lasted two days. according 20 an of.
cial statement by the Turkish War
Office to-day. The text Of the state.
ncrt follows:
After the Russians had been beat.
en IN q battle west % Kermanshsh,
which lasted III day and night. our
trooDs entered the town.
The day before the battle i- was
o. .abl.shed that the Russians had De.
ternined 20 defend themselves n the
village Of Nahidesst. but, owing 20 the
swift and encircling movement Of our
forces. the enemy could rot hold the
place. and. under the protection CT
his rear-guard. began a retreat 20 pre-
pared positions west Of kermanshah
The next day the Russian rear
guard was Withdrawn from Mahidemt
and our troops entered the village and
started IN pursuit.
"By nightfall he was obliged 20 evae.
uate his positions and withdraw 20 n.
town Of kermanshah. In the morning
without leaving the enemy time 20 or.
canize street lighting, our troops in
three detachments penetrated the town,
forcing the enemy 70 fly.

able to menace the German lines any
where.
The following description OF the
Allied offensive is sent 70 the "Lokal
Anzeiger" by its correspondent t. the
German Field Headquarters, dated
Tuesday:
1T is already clear on the third day
Of the great offensive that the first and
strongest thrust Of the Allies can only
succeed in pushing the Germans from
their first positions into the inter
mediate and second positions. There
has been "A quoting down Of the sight
ing on the various sectors of the front,
particularly north OF the Ancre River.
South Of the Ancrc where the Ger
man line cncloses Thicpyal. La Bots
sellc and Mametz Wood, tn British re-
attacked yesterday in heavy force.
Northward some individual engage
ments with detachments OF the attack
ers took place southwest OF Longueval
and in that vicinity. There WAS a
holly contested fight around Iardeval,
which, however. remained in German
hands. The enemy in this section is
attempting TO organize the first
trenches. which he captured for de-
fcnse. in the meantime feeling out the
German position with accommodating
forces.
South % the Somme the French oc-
cupied with patrols the village Of
Flaucourt and repeatedly launched
violent attacks against the German sec
ond position. The enemy's success here
consists only in the occupation Of Flsu-
court Further violent fighting, how
ever, may be expected in this sector.

FRENCH FORGE ON
TN DRIVING STORM
Continued from page I

two kilometres along the old Roman
road from Amiens 10 ST. Quentin.
1t lies in such a position that it is
pointed like an arrow toward the
French advance. The Germans mad
turned every house into fort, with
walls strengthened By sandoags and
mitrailleuse concealed at every corner.
During the first few days of lighting
il was impossible for the French to
take the town without heavy losses in
house, toulouse fighting. The fighting
on the south was, therefore, delayed
until the advance on the north nanked
the Germans in the town. With the
capture of Assevillers, the position at
Estrees was endangered for the Ger
mans. The French advanced TO the out
skirts Of the town. then dropped the
attack for a time, while they advasced
from Asservillers and seized Hill SO.
This position gave them Belloy-en-
Santerre, and the French then had
Estrees on the flank, so that the Ger
mans were compelled TO give up the
town without securing any advantage
from their elaborate Notifications.
Seizure Of Estrees puts the French
in an advantageous fanking position on
this salient. The German line extends
in the direction of Roye and Lassigny.
Reduction Of this salient would throw
the railroad into French possession.
North Of Somme the French forces
have taken parts of the German second
line, which extends there through
Clcry, Maurepas and Bazentin. In
front of the second German line, and
extending about half way between Ma
metz and CONTAMINATION 70 a point north
of Pozieres, there is an extremely
strong German supporting position.
II is this position which the British
now are facing and which they must
take before they can come up with the
French advance north OF the Somme
They passed the southern end of this
position when they took MametZ, and
the capture Of Thiepval will carry them
by i: on the north. At La Boiselle and
Ovillers. however. they are directly in
the face of the German position which
has been made a fortress.
Although the English advance has not
been so rapid as that Of the French,
they are doing valuable work in hold
ing many German battaions before
them, thus aiding the French work
south Of the Sommc.
