Berlin Denies Losing
Aeros in Harwich Raid

Berlin, July 5.-An official statement
issued to-day by the German War
Office regarding the recent German air
raid on the English seaport town of
Harwich says:
Yesterday morning one of our air
plane squadrons attacked military es-
adjustments and coastal works near
Harwich. on the east coast of England.
In spite of a strong defence from the
earth and by British aerial forces We
succeeded in dropping several thousand
Kilograms of bombs on the detectives
and in observing the good effects
thereof. All our airplanes returned
unchanged"
A British official statement on the
Harwich raid issued Wednesday night
said the German aerial squadron on
returning from its attack on Harwich
was engaged by Entente machines off
the Belgian coast and two of the Ger
man battleplanes were brought down
in flames, while third was damaged.
The casualties at Harwich were eleven
killed and thirty-six injured.

Riots Continue in Am

Amsterdam, July 5.-The Jordan
district of Amsterdam. the "Telegraaf"
reports, was invaded yesterday by 300
women from the Kattenburg district,
armed with bayonets. reyolvers and
stones. A collision with the police
took place at the Keizersgracht. a
woman firing a shot, but missing the
mark
Another collision occurred in the
Jewish quarter between strikers and
the police. II is reported that n boy
was wounded and died in a hospital.
Large quantities Of potatoes are ar
irving, the cars being guarded by
police and soldiers. The garrison has
been reinforced by strong detachments
Of cavalry and infantry.
The rioting in Amsterdam has been
chiefly due 10 the scarcity of potatoes
and their export to England. to which
the government is committed under
agreements TO preserve its trade rela-
tions with both the Entente and Ger
many. Four persons were reported
killed and nineteen injured Tuesday
night when a mob which was pillag-
ing shops was fired upon.

Maurice Says Moral
Effect of Russian
Drive Is Enormous
Denies Transfer OF German
Troops from the West;
Praises French

London, July 5.-Major General +. B.
Maurice, director Of military operations
at the War Office, in discussing the
Russian offensive. said to-day:
at is impossible TO overestimate the
moral effect which the resumption Of
the Russian offensive will have. The
Germans have been Growing that the
Russians were out Of the war. and
spread this among the German people
Now comes a great offensive, which Is
not yet over, and it is bound to have
a far-reaching result morally. to say
nothing of the material advantages &C
cruing"
General Matrices attention was
called 10 a statement made in the press
that the Germans were Withdrawing
large numbers of troops from the West
10 stem the Russian assault. He re-
sponded that there had been no such
withdrawal thus far. although It was
impossible to prophesy what might hap
pen.
The general referred to the fact that
to the outside world IT might appear

progress in their attack on Lens. and
he explained the situation thus:
LENS is an intricate mass Of mines
and buildings which render it a diff
cult business to carry out direct in
fantry attack. For this reason Field
Marshal Haig has been taking advan-
tage of the British superiority in ar
tillery TO prepare the way for the in
fantry. and thus has been moving
somewhat slowly. But we are now be-
ginning to make the town a most I'M
comfortable place for the Germans.
and ! think we shall have them out
soon"
Referring to the recent German at
tacks on the French az Nerdun and on
the Chemin-d Danes. General Mau-
rice declared the Germans had made
these assaults in an attempt to raise
the morale Of their troops.
"The Germans had been on the de-
fensive along this front" he remarked.
land the moral effect on their troops
had been bad The morale Of the Ger
man soldiers had been going down, and
so. in an attempt TO gain moral sue
cess. they have been attacking. The
latest attempt on a twelve-mile front
n the Chemin -des-Dames failed com
pletcly. as did the assault on Nerdun.'

while Vienna is showing signs OF
alarm. the government having issued

that this is sufficient.
Russians Withstand Attacks
According 70 the Petrograd official
bulletin to-day, attempts of the Austro-
Germans 10 regain their positions
around BrzeZany resulted IN no adj
vance. while two powerful attacks de-
liyered near Lipnicadolna. village on
the Narayuyka, south Of the city, were
equally fruitless. Berlin declares that
the Russians were driven from shell
craters which they still held on the
heights OF Brzezany, but no effort is
made TO magnify the actions into any
thing but local engagements.
On the Caucasus front the Russians
are now besieging the Turks on the
heights west and south OF Panlwin.

to evacuate. This movement threatens
the rear of the Turkish positions in
Mesopotama.

In the last three days British aero
planes have dropped several tons of
bombs on Ostend and inland. on the
Lichtenvelde ammunition depot and the
aerodomes at Ghisteles and Nieumun-
ster, while trench raids were reported
to-day near Newport and Wieltje.
Precisely such tactics preceded the
storming of the MeSsines Ridge. II is
now nearly month since the first off
cial admission that the British had
taken over the coast section of the
line and the first reports OF land and
sea activity IN this region were made.
Berlin declares there has been only
slight activity on the front held BY
the Bavarian Crown Prince. but the
German artillery has been Smelling the
rear Of the Flanders lines for a consid-
cradle period.
The Germans, following their usual
custom when they expect a French at
tack, shelled Rheims again to-day. Gen
orally they drop 1900 shells; to-day
only 400 fell on the battered city.
There has been only artillery fight
ing north of the Aisne and in the Yer
dun sector during the last twenty-four
hours, according TO Paris. but Berlin
insists the French were thrown back in
an enort TO retake lost trenches east
of Cerny. This is said TO be the thir-
teenth counter attack delivered by the
poilus since the Germans renewed the
battle south of Laon.
Later accounts of the German drive
over this front yesterday emphasize
the victory of the French, who, despite
the fact that repeated waves of
SHOCK" troops were flung against the
defending trenches, did not lose a
single prisoners or yard of territory
On the other hand, their reaction
against the first impact enabled them
10 absorb a salient formerly held by
the enemy. 1t was one of the severest
tests the French have had this year.
and their successful defence is be-
lieved to have demonstrated to Hin
denburg the impregnability of this
front, unless apprecably larger Ger
man forces are employed.
