“THE MINER WAR BULLETINS

[ mowpay, JULY 31 |
eee A

Petrograd: The Czar’ 3 troops
have éffected the most tremen-
dous stroke of the “‘comeback’’
against the Austro-Germans since
their great renewed offensive.
From a point just east of Kovel
to a point across the Dniester
they have covered twenty miles
of ground, sweeping all before
them. A great railway junction
at Krasne, the main approach to
Lemberg, is in Russian hands,
and with immense booty, The
Slav offensive maintains its in-
tensity over the whole sweep and
the Austro-German armies are
falling back in a disorderly rout,
their defeat an absolute disaster.

General Letchiely has renewed
operations south of the Dniester,
which were brought to a halt a
fortnight ago by freshets, and
tremendous new blows are being
struck south of Kovel..

The Russians have taken sev-
enty thousand prisoners in eight
days, '

\
London:

Sir Sam Hughes has
arrived in London. A complete
reorganization of the Canadian
forces in. England and et the
front is now in progress,

Paris: The French have made
big progress on the Somme, and
a ravine controlling a light rail-
way giving access to Peronne
has heen captured and held,

London: Zeppelins again raid-
ed England last night. This -is
the second time in six days. No
person was hit, but a_ British
aviator pursuing the marauders
was hurt by a falling shell and
had to descend.

Athens: The Turkish govern-
mentis holding up supplies in-
tended for the Armenians, and
. the condition. of the Armenian
° refugees is pitiable.

New York: Property logs es-
timated at from twenty-five to
forty-five million was caused
yesterday by a series of terrific
explosions of ammunition await-
ing shipment .to the Entente
Allies, and stored on Black Tom
Island, a small strip of land jut-
ting into New York bay, off Jer-
sey City. The loss of life cannot
be definitely determined until
there has been an opportunity to

on the island and boats nearby.

The terrific explosion was heard
in five states, Many are dead.
Thirteen warehouses and contents
