rETROGRAD, via London, July 6.
Nearly a half million Austrians nnd
Hermans have been put out of com
JuifBioii since General Brussiloff began
his great advance a month ago today.
The grand total of prisoners to date
Is, in round numbers, 235,000, of which
4500 are officers.
Without the actual figures regarding
the dead and wounded, careful esti
mates, based on the best information,
place the latter at 200.000 to 220,000.
The Austrians predominate overwhelm
ingly among the prisoners, but among
the dead and wounded it is said that
a fairly large percentage are Germans.
The German losses in stopping the
Russian advance on Kovel and in coun
ter attacks made in solid ranks were
enormous.
The booty captured reaches incalcu
lable figures. It is figured that 250
puns of various sizes and upward of
700 machine guns is a conservative es
timate. In addition, vast quantities of
munitions, supplies and transports have
fallen into the hands of the Russians.
The success of General Letchitzky's
advance west of Kolomea, where he has
cut the railroad into Hungary at Mik
uliczyn, is emphasized as a new body
blow to the Austrian defense of East
Galicia. Northwest of Kolomea his
troops are within 10 miles of Nadworna,
well to the rear of the Austrian right
flank facing Tarnopol, between the
Stripa and Zlota Lipa rivers.
On the extreme right flank of Brus
siloff's front the Russians are viciously
attacking the Germans at Czartorysk
'and Kolki. They have broken through
A several lines of the enemy's fortifica
tions here, threatening the flank of
the German positions before Lutsk.
These successes have considerably les
sened the pressure on the Russian cen
ter in that district.
Another interesting situation is de
veloping at Baranovichi, where the ad
vance of the Russian offensive has
brought their heavy guns within reach
of that important railway junction.

BERLIN, July 5. via London. July '6.
The following description of the allied
offensive is sent to the Lokal Anzeiger
by its correspondent at the German
field headquarters, dated Tuesday:
"It is already clear on the third day
of the great offensive that the first
and strongest thrust of the allies can
only succeed in pushing the Germans
from their first positions into the in

has been a quieting down of the fight

particularly north of the Ancre River.
"South of the Ancre, where the Ger

"Western front From the coast to

Between the Ancre Brook and the

they succeeded in obtaining a firm
foothold. The village of Hem. in the
Somme Valley, was evacuated by us.
"The French captured Belloy-en-Santerre.
Around Estrees the fighting
has come to a standstill. In the Aisne
district the enemy attempted a vain
attack on a narrow front south of
Ville aux Bols, costing him serious
losses. On the left bank of the Meuse
there were minor infantry engagements
favorable for us. On the right bank

"German artillery showed little ac
tivity on the front of the Belgian army
except in the region of Steenstraete.
At this point the continued success of
our destructive fire provoked an artil

Thursday' War Moves.
VIOLENT counter-attacks by the
Germans on almost the entire line
of French advance in the Somme re
gion show a change in the situation
from the earlier days of the Anglo
French offensive. In the beginning the
Germans concentrated their forces
against the British, apparently consid
ering the operations of the French to
the south as of small significance. But
the rapid movement of the French
troops, together with the importance
of the objective for which they are
aiming, has had the effect of changing
the German view and causing the Ger
man commanders to strengthen their
defenses and forces along; the line
guarding Peronne and other important
strategic points.
Both ends of the French line have
been under heavy attack's, but the
French, according to the official ac
counts, have been able to put them
down, without the Germans making any
gains whatever. Meanwhile both
French and British are consolidating
their positions, and are undoubtely
making preparations for a repetition
of the great bombardment which pre
ceded the first impetuous rush.
While the situation In the Verdun
region remains comparatively quiet,
there are heavy bombardments on both
sides of the Meuse. No advances are
recorded by either French or Germans.
The Immensity of the Russian, drive
against the Austrians and Germans
(luring the last month is Indicated by
unofficial reports from Petrograd
which say that the Austro-German
losses, in the endeavor to stay 'the
advance of General Brusiloffs armies,
total nearly a half -million men,
about half of whom are prisoners. No
fewer than 250 guns of various sizes
and more than 700 machine guns and
an immense quantity of other booty
have been taken.
The Austrians admit a serious defeat
west of Kolomea, where they were
driven back nearly five miles.
The latest official statement from
the Russian War Office announces the
capture of approximately 10,000 addi
tional prisoners. 5000 of whom are raid
to be Germans taken in a. recent battle
on tho Dniester. About 500 other
prisoners were captured, on other sec
tions of the Russian front.
The Germans admit the withdrawal
of General von Bothmar's army in the
Tarnopol sector before the attacks of
the Russians.
ing to organize the first trenches which
he captured for defense, in the mean
time feeling out the German position
with reconnoitering forces.
"South of the Somme the French oc
cupied with patrols the village of Flau
court and repeatedly launched violent
attacks against the German second posi
tion. The enemy's success here consists
only In the occupation of Flacourt.
Further violent fighting, however, may
be expected in this sector."
FRENCH FRONT CONSOLIDATED
Line Is Now Without Fissures or
Wedges In Somme Region.
. PARIS. July 6. The French offen
sive along the Somme has made steady
progress so that the left of the ad
vance now rests on Hardecourt and the
right on Eatress, while the entire in
tervening front has been transformed
within the last four days from one of
interior lines that exposed some posi
tions to a flanking fire into a homo
geneous line without fissures or dan
gerous wedges.
The solidity of this front is in
marked contrast with the fronts in the
battles of the Champagne and the Ar
tois, the irregularity of Which per
mitted of a heavy cross-fire on the
more advanced points. That part of
the present front facing: Peronne has

positions laid down in ancient tactics
that has survived the revolutionizing
developments of the present war.

TEUTONS LOSE INITIATIVE
Harassing Infantry Attacks on All
Sides Expected to Be Continuous
Vntil Weak Spot Has Been
Found in Armor.
BY JOHN F. BASS.
(Special War correspondent of the Chicago
Dally News. By special cable.)
PARIS. France,-July 6. Marvelous is
the achievement of the French army
in leading the present offensive with
the drive on Peronne. which overran
In the first three days the first and
second lines of German fortifications
and penetrated the third line.
This feat of arms France accom
plished after sustaining for three and
a half months attacks made with all
the might of the German army, which
first tried to crush the French at Ver
dun, and then endeavored to weaken
them beyond the possibility of under
taking an offensive.
Battle of Champagne Surpassed.
Earh line of German defensive forti
fications was three-qaurters of a mil
deep, and they were separated from one
another by a mile and a half. The French
have done better than in their cam
paign in the Champagne, where on a
15-mile front they took the German
first line of defense in two days, but
halted at the second line, which they
were unable to take.
In. the present offensive it is said
that the French artillery was espe
cially , successful in destroying in the
initial bombardment the whole German
first line, and almost immediately the
secpnd line also. It is intimated that
this involved the moving up rapidly
of heavy artillery a- departure In war
fare. The result as reported is that
the French losses were not great,
whereas at Verdun the German artil
lery was unable to destroy completely
the lines of defense and consequently
the remaining guns lnflcted terrible
losses on the German infantry.
Teutons Lose Initiative.
It now seems as If the central pow
ers had lost the initiative, and from the
present time will be thrown on the de
fensive. Verdun seems to be the turn
ing point. The process of tightening
the iron -belt about the central powers
has begun. The continuous chain of
heavy guns constructed by the allies
so laboriously during the last two years
is battering the wall of defense of
the central powers from the North Sea
to the Vosges. from the Baltic to the
Carpathians, in Italy and in the Balk
ans. Harassing infantry attacks every
where are seeking new points of weak
ness. No longer will the internal lints
of magnificent railroads be of such
value to Germany as they have been
in her many past offensives. Germany
cannot leave one front lightly held,
feeling sure of inaction there, while it
transfers whole armies to hurl at one
of her enemies on another front. The
day when the central powers were al
lowed to pick the field of military ac
tivity and dash at their enemies one
at a time ie over.
France Rises Triumphant.
In this situation France rises tri
umphant. It organizes, directs and co
ordinates the allies, which at the begin
ning of the war seemed incapable of
united effort. However, the task be
fore the allies is not easy, and prog
ress probably will be slow. A breach
in the Austro-German wall of defense
is likely to be made. only after weeks
and possibly months of continuous
pounding from all sides. In other
words, it will probably be a siege of
the central powers rather than a rapid,
decisive action. The advance is likely
to be especially slow on this front,
where the fortifications are more elab
orate and territorial acquisition is more
vital than in Russia. There the fight
ing is of a more open character, and a
large section of territory might change
hands without the serious consequences
that would result from a similar de
velopment in France.
There can be no further doubt that
it is General Koch who commands the
French offensive along the Somme,
since the fact has been announced to
the public.
GERMAN ATTACKS FAIL
I Continued From Flrt P(re.

Munitions for the cessation of holi

FORWARD MOVEMENT CHECKED
British Correspondent Says; How
ever, Another Thrust Is Coming.
LONDON. July 7. Reuter's corre
spondent at the press camp, British
army in France, sends the following
dispatch under date of July 6:
'The impetuous forward movement
of the entente allies has been checked,
but certainly not arrested. The allied
armies are consolidating their gains
and drawing a deep breath in readiness
for the next mighty thrust. In the
meantime they are battering, bombing
and bayoneting the enemy by night
and day with the most effective re
sults. "The fighting is reminiscent of the
Verdun battle, with the important dis
tinction that the position is reversed
and that the enemy has no such line
upon line of fortified positions to re
treat upon in the face of our smashing
blows as the French have had defend
ing their great fortress. At any mo
ment the weakest link in the chain
may snap and the broken ends fly
apart.
"The enemy is straining every nerve,
but is being attacked as never before.
From the coast to the trenches of

khaki are pouring in a literal flood,
and I am' unable to resist the con
tagious confidence of our army cor
respondent who says: 'Now that It is
possible to write with some fullness
the story of Saturday's-attack one al
most shrinks from recording it, so
terrific was the toll taken from the
enemy.
"Modern, warfare is terrible and no
offensive is possible without the ex
action of a dreadful toll.
"Many of our regiments suffered
heavily as they advanced almost with
out cover in the face of a murderous
fire, the machine guns In particular
wreaking awful destruction. We must
face the truth bravely of the heavy
price we must pay and the nation must
brace itself to the inexorable penalty."

McArthur's Counter With Rep
resentative Told in Detail.
OREGON VOTE IS SHOWN
Alabama Member Calls . Orcgou
"Small State," but It Cast Nearly
Three Times as Many Votes as
His on Last Election.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington, July 6. When Representative
Heflln, of Alabama, whose chief claim
to fame lies in his ability as a teller
of negro stories, undertook the other
day to brand the recent Chicago conven
tion as a boss-ridden affair, and to
convey to the country the impression
that Charles E. Hughes is a tool of the
"Old Guard," and more of the same
sort. Representative McArthur broke in
with a question.
"Has the gentleman heard from the
Oregon primaries, . where Hughes re
ceived four times the number of votes
Wilson received?" queried McArthur.
MeArtkir LmIu T.'p Facts.
"I am sorry." said Hefltn. "that the
gentleman called that reflection on
Oregon to my attention. But Oregon
is a small state hardly as big as my
district. They did let you have a pri
mary out there as a kind of a. decoy
duck to keep the people's mind off of
what the bosses were really doing all
over the country."
This hurt McArthur's pride and he
looked up a few facts. He found that
in the last election Oregon cast 217.631
votes for Governor, while the total vote
in Alabama te.t year was 75,000. and
the total .vote cast in Heflin's district
at the time he was last elected was
only 8000. Mr. McArthur concluded from
these facts that it ill bespeaks a man
to criticism when he holds office by the
votes of fewer than 8000 persons
negroes being barred from the ballot
box in Heflin's state.
Striking; Comparisons Made.
Mr. McArthur did not feel justified
in putting Into the Congresxional Rec
ord his own vote and the Oregon vote
as compared with the vote in Alabama
and In Reflin's district, but he did se
cure permission to file the Oregon pri
mary returns, and with them an ex
planatory statement. His statement
showed that at the recent primary
Hughes received 66.764 votes In Ore
gon; the total Republican vote was
84.915. and the total Democratic vote,
which was cast for Wilson, was 27,898.

as many primary votes as did Mr. Wil
son, wno carried Oregon in the general
election four years ago."
