London: With the cleaving up
of the weather'a. vigorous aerial
offensive, hasbeen .resumed by
the British. Seven German bal-
loons have been shot down.

Bullecourt is the scene of heavy
fighting, the enemy having made
continuous counter-attacks ‘since
Saturday in’ herculean -efforts to
patch up the Hindenburg line.
Australians forced a. big gap in
the defences of the enemy, achiev-
ing a thrust”.of a mile into the
German lines, Enemy artillery
is extremely active,

The spirit displayed by the Brit-
ish is quite unconquerable, They

suffered like heroes rather than’

fall back from’ newly-won pusi-
tions, The enemy counter-attacks
are proving costly to him, and
every advance made by Germans
means a big sacrifice of troops.

Berlin: German forces stormed
and recaptured Fresnoy from the
British, taking more than 200
prigoners and six machine guns,

Paris: | Germany's retirement
from France must come unless
Hindenburg’ can’ scon stop the
French drive. Proof that this is

realized by ‘enemy commanders’

wag brought by yesterday’s fight- : otal “49,000 prisoners:

ing, the Germans making super-|"

human efforts to gave the Rheims| ‘
salient by hurling picked troops
into the breach made by the
French, The flowerof the ar my,
which Hindenburg was saving
for the final, decisive action, is
now being sacrificed. Entirely
. [apart from the Anglo- French of-

fensive between Aisne and Lens, '
the Germans are facing an equal,

menace in Champagne, where the
keystone of the. entire German
‘front is_ threatened. - In the last,
few day 6000 prisoners have. heén
captured, making. a total of 29; 000

taken by Nivelle since April: 16.

row escape from : assassination

Russians fear an attempted
drive by the Germans. General
Korniloff has ordered the reor-
ganization of the reserveelements |.

New York: Cables say the
situation in Russia is clarifying
rapidly and a virtual coalition
government has been formed, in-
cluding soldiers’ and workmen’s
representatives,

Amsterdam: Hollwegpostponed

‘again his péace speech, announced

foryesterday, He hopes forevents
which will facilitate his task.

Indianapolis:| A broken rail
caused the derailing of the train
on which the French mission was
traveling last night. No one was
badly injured. ‘Pro-German work
is suspected,

Paris: The Allied conference
arranged for a great concerted
effort to stamp out the submarine
menace. The U.S. navy will take
part in the ‘co-ordinated plan.
