London, July 11-The oftc'H'
statement issued today says:
Last night, after a brisk lombard
ment. our infantry again carried Con-
talmaison by assault, taking 1s9 un-
wounded prisoners, including a bat
TALON commander and four other ON
GERS. A strong counter attack deliv'
cred bv the Germans during the night
was beaten back with heavy loss to the
enemy. and the whole village is now

ground lost south of Pinsk they are
likely to find the whole Pinsk district
isolated by Russian raids through the
marshes-a species Of warfare in which
the Russians excel"
To-nights Russian statement says.
ain the region OF the Stokhod the
fighting continues, the enemy display
ing the greatest desperation. Enemy
airmen continually make flights be-
hind our lines, attacking our troops
with bombs and machine guns"
German Resistance Stiff.
An earlier statement read:
Fighting in the Stokhod region con-
tinues. The enemy, having received
reinforcements, brought up powerful
artillery and is offering a desperate re-
sistance.
"On the Draza-F -Fondoul- -Moldava
front, northwest of Kimpolung (south-
ern Bukowina) considerable enemy
forces have been thrown back by us
after violent engagements at various
points. The enemy. unable to resist
our coup de main, took flight.
Enemy airmen attacked the station
at Zamirie, on the Minsk- -Baranovitchi
railway line, and dropped sixty-six
bombs.
"On the Black Sea. one of our mail
packets, lying at anchor, without
cargo, off the Caucasian coast, was
sunk by an enemy submarine"
The German announcement follows:
From the coast to Pinsk no events
Of special Importance occurred. Near
Pnsk quiet prevailed. The Russian
announcement regarding the evacua-
tion Of Pinsk Is pure invention.
"The enemy made futile attacks with
very strong forces at several points
against the line of the Stokhod notably
near Czerewiszcze, Hulewicze, Korysmi
and Janmaka, and on both sides of the
Kovel-Rovno railway line.
Near Hulewicze we drove back the
enemy beyond his position by strong
counter attack. The enemy lost more
than 700 prisoners and three machiue
guns.
"Our aerial squadrons dropped num-
erous bombs on troops detraining rear
Horodzieja. on the Daranovichi-Mins
Railroad. They also repeated their
attacks on Russian shelters east Of the
SAOhNOU. III inc der.il encounters one
enemy machine was shot down near
Worontszvca, east of Zirin, and an
other west of Okonsk.
"A detachment of chasseurs Of the
army group of General Won Bothmer
engaged in successful fight south
OF Burkanow Wood. and brought back
a few dozen prisoners.
The Official Austrian statement issued
to-day says:
"Near Zobrze. on the Czermosz. we
repelled Russian attacks. Attacks made
by superior forces near Sokul broke
down in our entanglements. The en-
emy vainly endeavored 10 bring his
fleeing masses to a standstill BY turn
ing the fire Of his own guns and ma
chine guns upon them.
Near Huleyiche, on the Stokhod, the
enemy was repulsed by German and
Austro-Hungarian forces, after bitter
fighting. Several other attacks in the
Stokhod region failed completely"
