THE OMINECA MINER, SATURDAY, JUNE 80, 1917 —se — THE’ MINER WAR BULLETINS “ wo MONDAY, m UNE a fans 1 London:. There is little major activity in any of the war .the- aters, except along the Aisne front, in northern France. Here the German crown prince en- gaged in a series of attacks on _the French lines along the west- ern end of the Chemin des Dames, where the curving front protects the German fortress of Laon, whieh a further French advance would menace. These attacks met with success at one ar two places, notably near Froidmont farm, where a considerable salient of the French line fell into Ger- man hands, Serious attempts to debouch from this salient were broken up by the French and no further advance was made, In the eastern war theater are! indications that important fight- ~ ing may soon. be under- way. While conditions in inner Russia]. continue uncertain and mixed, the nation’s armed forces seem to be repaining their morale, and are nearly ready to attack once more. Everywhere signs point to a demand for a general move without delay, _ While the Italians were forced to'let up in their attacks in the Trentino, whieh resulted in the capture of the important height of Monte Ortega, it was emphas- ized in an announcement that the Austrians lost some of their heavy artillery as well ag suffering other . losses of magnitude i in the opera- tions.
