THE OMINECA MINER, SATURDAY, -JUNE 17, 1916 rum senor —— a THE MINER WAR BULLETINS ——— MONDAY, JUNE 12 J London: Statements of officers and men relieved of duty in the front line show that the battle in which the Canadians were en- gaged on June 2-3 was the blood- iest—on both sides—fought on the British front since the battle of Loos, The Germans attacked in stronger force than’ supposed, using Verdun tactics on the Ypres salient. . There was, first, five hours of artillery fire from guns of every caliber, cross fire, ag well as frontal, being directed. against the salient angle held by the Canadians. There was no shelter, as the watery subsoil makes dug- outs impossible and the fire utter- ly leveled the trenches at many points, The British gunners an- swered the enemy with a curtain of fire, _ ‘The ‘German infantry which survived the British fire rushed into the breaches after the bom- hardment ceased, They carried fall packs, blankets,flasks of rum and coffee, flashlights, and full rations, in preparation for a big advance, for which their big guna had presumably blazed the way. The Canadians, however,unflinch- ingly stuck to the support trench-. es. Undera shower of shells from 8:30 in the morning to 11:30 at night, they checked the German advanee. At one point the few surviving Canadians: rushed out to tace an overwhelming German charge and die, At another point,in a square pit in the earth, Col. Shaw and geventy Canadians, completely surrounded, fought hand-to-hand until two only were left, The Germans finally broke under the rifles of a battalion hidden in a maple copse, who held their fire until the charge developed a good target. _ Petrograd: The Russian offen- sivein Volhynia and ‘Galicia is daily assuming new phases and merking new ground won. by Gen. Brusiloff’s troops, The Rus- Sians are pushing westward from Lutsk, after crossing the Styr,- the Austrians fighting rearguard actions as they retire.

The Austrians admit the withdrawal of their forces northwest of Bukowina, London: The report that the battle cruiser. Derflinger was lost is reiterated in an Amsterdam despatch, which says the warship sank in‘the North Sea after the Jutland battle.

Most of her crew was foat. ff ~ TUESDAY, JUNE 13 . : Potrowrad: ‘Russian troops yea. terday approached the outskirts of Czernowitz, the capita! of.

((_ weowespay, JUNE au ) Paris: The battle for Verdun hes broken out with unusual vio- lence on the east bank of Meuse, after the full which followed the capture of Fort Vaux. The Ger- mans put the respite to good use, They brought up fresh effectives, reformed their lines, and .advane- ed their artillery to positions from which, they have begun a method- ical pounding of the main French defences, particularly the power- ful batteries ot Tavennes - and Fort Souville.

The Aus- tro-German forces are retreating so rapidly along the Galician and Volhynian fronts that only asmall number of prisoners have been captured as compared with the ‘numbers previously taken, General Brusiloff’s operations on the flanks of the enemy are proceeding with wonderful rapid- ity. ~All efforts of German rein- foreements to drive a ‘counter: wedge at the wings of the Russian salient have proved ineffectual.
