WAR SUMMARY.
Flanders, where the big guns have been
booming incessently since rain stopped the
entente offensive movement early last
week. has again been the scene of infan-
try fighting. but only on a small scale.
Near the coast the British have been
successful in raid into the German lines
near Lombaertzyde. Berlin officially de-
scribes this operation as an attack in
force. which. 1t says, the Germans beat off
in hand to hand fighting. The Teutons
also record the repulse Of local attacks
by the British in the Bixschoote region,
between Dixmude and Ypres.
Along the Aisne front and on the right
bank Of the Meuse. northeast of Verdun.
violent artillery activity continues on both
sides. The German Crown Prince has not
followed up his attacks on the Aisne front
where he was repulsed east of VauXaillon
and west Of the California plateau.
Russian troops are on the off onsive in
the Chotin region on the Russo -Ga,ician
border. northeast Of Czernowitz, and have
withstood successfully Austro-German
thrusts in the region of Brody. IN Galica
northeast Of Lemberg. The Russian
forward movement west of Chot.n result
| ed in the capture of two villages and a
| height. The Austro-Germans lost 500 prie-
| oners and four machine guns. The Teu-
| tonic effort near Brody penetrated the
Russian lines. but the attackers were
thrown back by counter attack and the
Russian lines restored.
A newspaper report from Petrograd
says the Russians have evacuated the
fortress of Kamenetz-Podolsk, TIE CAPT
tai Of Podolia, about 30 miles northeast
of Chotin, and the garrison town of
Proskurov, on the Bug river. e miles
north of Kamenetz-Podolsk. Both these
places are some distance from the line of
the River Zbrocz. which has been held
in part by the Russians for more than
a week, and lie behind the Chotin- -Brody
line.
In central Moldavia the Teutors con-
tinue their advance north of Fokshani.
Petrograd admits the success of this
movement and says the Russians have
retired toward the River Sereth.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Duties of the American Mission
to Russia Are Formally
Ended.
AN OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK.
Russia, the Commissioners Sny, Grows
Stronger Of Heart and Ppurpose
Daily, but Needs u. =. Help.


Washington, Aug. 8-Russia, newest of
democracies. grows stronger of heart and
purpose daily and with aid from the Uni
ted States. can be depended upon to do her
part in the great war and emerge a pow
erful state. This was the message brought
to President Wilson and Secretary Lansing
to-day by Elihu Root. and his fellow MEM
bers of the American mission sent to Rus
sia three months ago.
Unqualified encouragement from the
United States, moral and financial, when
necessary. Is absolutely essential to keep
ing life in the new government, the COM
missioners agreed. separate peace with
Germany obviously is the gravest fear.
Left to fight along with her present gov
ernment In control, the President was told
Russia will emerge triumphant and strong,
but If. either by great masses of troops
or clever propaganda. Germany should
accomplish the overthrow Of the Keren-
sky government. the outlook would be
dark indeed.
Only one written report. 1t is understood
was submitted to Secretary Lansing. II
was not made public and NAV not he
From high sources it is known, however
that the commission was agreed on vir.
tually all essentials There may have been
differences of opinion as to the best meth.

future was unanimous.
