GERMANS KEEP GRIP
 ON VERpUN AND THE SoMME
Berlin Feels That Situation Is We'll In Hand, Despite the Allies Blows.

Berlin, July 8, via London, July 9,
 :35 p. m-The eyes of Germans were turned today toward the eastern ratl- CT than the western front. The weight of the first onslaught in the west is believed to have been fully estimated and, in spite of whatever surprises their strategy may still have in store, public and expert opinion here is
 confident Of the outcome. It is be- Iieyed that the sixth army and re-
 serves have the situation well in hand
 on the Somrne front and that nothing can interfere with the progress of the Ferdun campaign.
 In the east, however, a great gen.
 eral offensive has burst forth all along
 the line from Riga to Rumania Wave
 after wave of Russian flesh and steel is rolling against the TeUton dyke provinces. Thrust follows thrust in constant succession and, no sooner do the Germans succeed in walling the advance at one threatened point, than
 another menaces.
 German Reserves at Weak Points. The most striking results thus far manifested have been seen in the leadership and distribution of the forces of the central powers rather than in the actual movement of the contending armies. With the excep- l ton of General PfIanzer, commanding a small group at the extreme southern end of the line, the Austro- Hungarian | units everywhere are interWalled by | Germans, who have. furnished re- serves to bolster up particularly l threatened points.
 At the very outset of the Russian ] offensive General Pflanzer detached divisions to relieve the hard pressed 1 Archduke Joseph Ferdinand and his operations near the mainly directed 1 defense of the Carpathian forests and | passes into Hungary.
 Astonished at Russian Resources. It is betraying no secret to say that | the German leaders have been aston" ished at the recuperative powers of the Russians and their freely flowing reservoirs of both men and munitions. | Time after time it seemed as if the Russians must be nearing their last
 resources in shells and reserves, tina and again correspondents at Austrian headquarters reported that the RuS- l sian troops were losing their vim and l striking power, only to chroncle a day or two later a. new onslaught with fresh troops, freely supported by arr | tillery.
 Verdun Campaign Not Checked. Despite the various Russian gains. however, which, when marked on the map of the eastern front make a conl- parativeIy small showing for such a | colossal expenditure of blood and iron, no uneasiness is manifested here The general offensive of all fronts simul- 1 taneously has compelled the Germans to discontinue their favorite railroad l strategy but the strategic defence, which the Germans deliberately chose on the eastern and general western l fronts. has so far proved adequate to 1 hold up the allies offensive and has 1 not interfered with the continuance of | the German assault againt Verdun. I'c such an extent is this true that l the Germans still retain the strategic
 initiative and show no indication of relaxing their grip on the great l French fortress.

Attempt to Assassinate Argentine
 President.

Buenos Aires, July 9-An attempt to assassinate President Victorino de la Plaza was made today by 6 self styled anarchist. The praidedt was standing on a balcony of the govern ment building reviewing some troops when a man in the crowd of specta- tors suddenly drew a revolver and fired at him. The shot went wild and the would-b assassin was arrested.
 The attempt to assassinate the president occurred while Buepos Aires was celebrating the hundredth anni- versary of the independence of Ar genuine Dr. de Ia Plaza was defeated for a second term in a bitterly con- tested election last June in which the radical candidate was elected.

ENEMY RETIRING IN DISORDER
 AS RUSSIANS ADVANCE E
Losses On the Eastern Front Give Anxiety to the Central Powers.

London, July g, 1925. p. m.- The eastern front continues to overshadow the western from the spectacular view point, the Russian forces going from success to success. General Letchitzky, in the south, now has occupied che railroad junction at Delatyn, west of Kolomea, cutting off General von Bothmer from his suply base and making surprising advances on both sides of the Kovel railway towards the Stokhod River.
 Tonight's Russian communication reports the enemy forces in this re- zion retiring in great disorder and adds that the Russians have occupied Huleviche, about twenty four miles east of Kovel. while apparently the Russians already are across the StolI- hod River somewhere in the region of Janovl1a.
 German possession of Baranovichi and I<oveI are absolutely essential if she is to retain her hold ever the in vaded parts of Poland and Lithuania, but it is considered likely that it is only matter of a few days before the Russians vii be in possession of Ko- vel, whiGA gould compel von Linsin- gems retirement from the Lutsk sa- lient.
 Anxiety Reflected in Dispatches.
 German official and unofficial des patches reflect anxiety over the Rus sian advance as being greater than over the Anglo French offensive which ElneA G-<xno----~ -Ai1itaEY HzA&laA

tend will not interfere with the opera tions against Verdun. Major NGorahs and other German critics express sur- prise at the extent and persistence of the Russian offensive and the endless resources of ammunition.
 It is reported from Rome that recent council of German and Aus trian marshals, Von Hindenburg de- clared that it would be impossible to attempt new offensive on a large scale without endorsements of at least a quarter of a million men.
 The news of today shows little change in the relative positions on the western front. Berlin admits the loss of Hardecourt.
 The Runanian government, accord ing to a Borne despatch, has declined an invitation from the German and Austrian governments to participate in a conference of the Danube powers.
