MASSED ATTACKS LAUNCHED
AGAINST SLAVS IN GALIcIA
ARE STIFLED BY FIRE OF
RUSSIANS.
CROWN PRINCE STARTS
NEW DRIVE IN WEST
French Hold Their Ground AGAINST
Four Fierce Teuton Attacks and
Make Actual Gains in Face of
Oncominq Assault-PoiIus Raj
Iy in a Flash.

Berlin, July 9.-(Via London) In a
renewal of their attack at Stanislau,
South of Halicz, the key to Lemberg,
Russian troops have gained ground.
This is announced in the supplement-
airy statement issued from German
headquarters last night.
Germans Start Offensive.
London, July 9.-To Offset the pow
erful Russian drive against Lemberg
the Teutons have launched an often
sive of their own in VOlhynia, to the
east of Kovel, 125 miles north of Bre-
zezany, the storm center of the Ca
lician battle. Formidable massed at
tacks were launched against the Rus
sian lines in the last "a hours, par
ticular1y in the region of Borsk. Ire
mendOus waves of gas were sent out
in advance Of the Teuton stOrming col
umn. The assaults were stifled in the
Russian fire, however. The attackers,
according to Petrograd, did not even
reach the Russian lines.
In eastern Galicia all new Teuton
attacks to regain the lost terrain
broke down.
Teutons Renew Naegnq.
In four separate sectors of an 49,
mile front north of the Aisne the Ger
man crown prince resumed his nag
ging tactics against the French. Pick
ed ''shock" columns were flung against
the French position between the Laf-
faux Mill and Froidmont farm They
bit granite. With the same upper
turber, uncomprising tenacity, the
Poilus stood their ground in four bat
ties royal. For several hours the field
gray and horizon blue fighters were
clinched in life and death grapples.
The Germans finally had to give it
up. There was no piercing this wall
On one part of the attacking front
between BOvettes and the Froidmont
farm the terrific momentum Of the
Teuton assault on a two-mile line car
ried the crown princes guards thru
the French first line.
French RepuIse All Attacks.
But they had to get out again. The
French rallied in flash and the loss
es they inflicted on the retreating Teu-
tons we'll paid for the momentary
shock" Nowhere on the whole line
of attack did the field gray legions
succeed in holding bit of ground.
The French on their part struck an
effective local blow to the east of
Cerny, almost due east of Laon. Here
in a brilliant charge they edged them
selves an appreciate bit forward in
the positions where, on July 1, they
captured some ground. Prisoners
were taken.
To make it a perfect day Petain's
troops also did brilliant job on the
Verdun front.

Knocked tho others out OF the race. It
was Chevrolet's race almost from the
start. He went into the lead during
no first five miles. and, with the ex-
ccption of a short spell. was never
headed.
De Palma battled the winner almost
all the way. Near tho fifty mile mark,
however, De Palma was forced to lose
some ime on account OF tire trouble.
He came back again and sent his ma
chine along at q dazzling speed. but
could not make w tho ground lost.
Smilingly, the Frenchman nursed his
little maroon car through lap after lap.
He never faltered. Ee mover changed
his pace. He was setting a new
American mark. and he kept up his

the two tore around the track until thu
last lap when De Palma. with a ire
mendous burst OF speed that sent his
