SLAV ADVANCE
 CONTINUES ON
 5O-N|LEFRONT
Great Russian Offensive Is Gaining Momentum = Re sumption of Hard Fighting in Rumania Is Indicated.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

westward. the great Russian M drive along the Dniester in Ca
 licia continues successfully. Fighting is in progress one a fifty-mile front from Halicz to the foothills of the Carpathians and all along the line the Russians are advancing.
 Northwest of Halicz on Thursday the Russians enlarged their gains north of the Dniester, captured i'm portant heights between the river and Bukazowice and occupied two villages. This advance is in the direction cf Lemberg.
 On the center and southern end of the line the Russians have been vic torious in heavy battles for the pos session of the crossings of the river Lomnica. They have made progress on the road to Dolina and have cap tureed the crossings of Lomnica at Perehinksko, about 15 miles south of Kalusz and four miles west of Be- horodoZany.
 Nearing DoIina,
 
 to Dolina, twenty miles southwest and to Stryj, 20 miles north of Dolina on the Kalucz-Lember railway lines. The capture of these towns probably would make certain an Austro-German retirement from the Zlota Lipa line, which has been held for more than year.
 4 probable resumption of heavy fighting north of the Pripet marshes and in Rumania is indicated. On the Dvina and Shara rivers nd near Smor- gon, north of Pinsk, there has been more active infantry fighting. No de- termined attack however, has yet been reported.
 The Russian line west of Stanis- lau besides endangering the Austro- German immediately north in Galicia, also is a threat against the hne in Ru- mania. The Russians and Rumanian artillery has been hammering the Teu- ton positions there in the last few days and already advance partices teen thrown forward to- test the enc my's strength. No attack in force has been attempted.
 Artillery Active.
 Raids and reconnoitering engage men5s have occupied the British and German forces in northern France. South of St. Quentin, along the Aisne front and on both sides of the Mouse. in the Verdun region. the artillery only have been active. In aerial ac- tivity, French airmen have brought IA German airmen and driven eight enemy planes behind their own lines in damaged condition.
 The British battleship Vanguard has been blown up by an internal explosion with the loss of approxi- mately more than 700 lives. The dis aster occurred while the warship was at anchor and only three men, one Of whom died later. were rescued. The Vanguard measured 19,250 tons and her complement before the war was S70 men.
 Take Two Villages.
 PETROGRAD, July 13-(British Ad- miralty per Wireless Press).-On front of nearl fifty miles from Halicz to the foothills of the Carpathians the Russians have advanced westward across the Lomnica and north across the Dniester, capturing several viii lages and important enemy positions. North of of the Dniesteh in the re- zion of Halicz, says the war office statement. the Russians captured i'm portant heights and drove the enemy back to the northeast of Epilus, oc- cupying two villages.

 Heavy Assaults-Rome Reports Suc- cess-British in 1Eesopotamia Rest.

The demoralixation of the Russian army and the consequent withdrawal of German forces from tho eastern front are having their effect in France. The heavy endorsements of mon and guns which Field Marshal Von Hin- denburg has been able to throw into the defense of his sorely battered lines have, for the time being at least. caused a deadlock which the most furious efforts of the British and French have failed to break. @
 These first fruits of the chaos in Russia are the more omnibus in the hints they offer of future possibilities. The council of soldiers and work mems delegates seems to have been aroused at last to the perils of the course 1t has elected to follow but 1t is g question if its awakening has not come too late. The soldiers in the ranks evidently have the bit in their teeth and 1t remains to be seen if there is hand strong enough to check them from bringing about virtual anarchy.
