London, July with Russia prov
ing that her army. now rehabilitated,
can strike telling blows again, the en-
tente forces apparently are preparing
to resume the forward movement on
the western front.
Notable activity is developing in
Belgium. Germany senses the trend
of things there without question. and
extraordinary efforts by her airmen
to find out what is going on behind
the British lines are reflected in the
official statements.
From all appearances the German
fliers are meeting with poor success.
Last nights report for instance,
showed nine German airplanes put out
Of action to one lost by the British.
That the British blow will fall north
of Arras is the German expectation,
according to General Won Stein, the
Prussian minister of war He told
German Reichstag committee yes
terday that General Haig apparently
was preparing for an offensive on a
large scale in this sector.
In this connection it is to be noted
that the British in a local operation
last night pushed their lines forward
slightly on a 600-yard front southwest
of Hollebeke in Belgium.

looked more tempting or was more
enjoyed
The table fairly groaned not only

sis which is to establish enduring
peace and selfgoyernment throughout
