BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
(War correspondent of the Chicago Tribune.
By special cable.)
LONDON. July 14. (Specia.) The
marsh-flanked Stokhod River continues
to bar the Russian path to Kovel.
Hardly 50 feet across at its wideei
point and fordable at several places
along the curving line which the
troops of General Brussiloff have held
for a week. It has nevertheless proved
to be thus far the Teutons' most pow
erful defense against the Russian drive
on the vital railroad center of Vol;
hynia-
' The Ruisslan artillery, lodged in the
swampy ground on its right bank, has
poured a deluge of iron and steel over
its swiftly flowing current into the
rudely constructed breastworks of the
Austrians and Germans. The Russian
cavalry has swept forward in great
waves and forced crossings at the point
of the saber. On the heels of the des
perately fighting Cossacks the Czar's
infantrymen have surged forward time
and again in furious charges over rafts
hastily transformed into crude . but
serviceable bridges.
Teutons Continue to Hold River.
But the Teutons continue to hold the
left bank of the Stokhod, except at
certain places whose isolation nullifies
any possible Russian advantage. At
Svidniki a desperate battle is going on
for the possession of the important
bridgehead, the capture of which by the
Russians would enable them to take the
whole Teuton system of defenses on the
left bank of the river under an en
filading fire and probably would result
in the speedy retirement of the de
fending forces to Kovel Itself.
In the furious fighting along the rest
of the Stokhod line the Germans, heav
ily reinforced, recrossed the river sev
eral times today and fought a losing
battle with the firmly entrenched Rus
sians. At the same time the Germans
launched a localized offensive near Sto
bychwa, northeast of Kovel, seemingly
in the hope of diverting the attention
of the Russians from the fighting along
the Stokhod line. The attempt was un
successful, the Germans being driven
back to their trenches by the heavy
fire of the Russian guns.
Russians Claim 3200 Prisoners.
"West of the Strlpa yesterday Aus
trian and German forces undertook a
similar operation with the purpose of
easing the pressure on their lines in
Volhynia. Their furious counter-at-tacke
were repulsed with great losses,
the Russians sweeping in 3200 prison
ers as the enemy's forces were rolled
back, according to the Russian report.
General von Bothmer, with his army
substantially bolstered up with troops
- transferred from other sectors, is hold
ing his lines in Galicia. The Russians
again entered his first-line positions
today, but they were hurled back in a
counter-attack of unusual violence.
To the south the Austrians recap
tured their old positions on the heights
west of the upper Moldava. With Del
atyn in the hands of the Russians, it is
cxpeeted that the coming week will see
the inauguration of a new drive on
Kolomea and Lemberg from, that di
rection.

territories which have been occupied
by Germany:
"In the Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung on July 5 the German gov
ernment publishes what purports to be
an answer to the British Foreign Of
fice statement concerning the victual
ing of Poland. The article says it is
a falsehood to ay that in Northern
France only a small part of the har
vest was left over for the French in
habitants, and that the American Re
lief Commission knows the contrary.
"In view of this assertion the Ger
man government must answer the
question whether it is or is not true
that the allowance made available by
themselves for the French inhabitants
out of the last harvest was 100 gram
mes of flour per capita dally, and
whether this did not mean that at the
most only 90,000 tons of the grain pro
duced was reserved for these inhabi
tants over the whole year, whereas the
normal amount produced in these prov
inces is about 700,000 tons.
"It may be doubted that Germany
will care to answer this question but
whether it noes or not, we take note
of this German statement and expect
the coming harvest will really be re

tion in accordance with German pro

LONDON, July 14. The "War Office
officially announced the resump
tion of the drive on the Western front
fn the following statement:
"This morning at dawn, we attacked
the enemy's second system of defenses.
Our troops have broken into hostile
positions on a front of four miles and
have captured several strongly de
fended localities. Heavy fighting con
tinues." Later in the day a supplementary
statement was issued giving further
details. It said:
"It is now possible to give further
details of the action begun at daybreak
this morning. Having driven the enemy
back step by step to his second system
of defense, the period from July 11 to
July 12 was mainly spent by. our troops
In bombarding formidable enemy posi
tions and in, making other necessary
preparations for further advance.
'This morning, after an intense
bombardment, the assault was launched
at 3:25 A. M. The enemy was driven
from his trenches on the whole front
of attack and many prisoners fell into
our hands.
Fiierce fighting continued all day.
as a result of which we have steadily in
creased our gains and now are in pos
session of the enemy's second position
from Bazentin-le Petit to Longueval,
both villages Inclusive and the whole
of the Trones wood.
In the Trones wood we released a
party of the Royal West Kent regiment
which, separated from, our own troops
in the recent fighting and surrounded
by Germans had held out in the north
ern end of the wood for 48 hours.
Two determined counter attacks on
our new positions were completely
rushed by our fire. Later in the day,
after a fierce counter attack, the Ger
mans succeeded in recapturing the vil
lage of Bazentin-le Petit, but were at
once driven out again by our Infantry.
The whole village is once more in our
hands."

the fighting on the eastern front is:
"On both sides of the Somme new
and violent combats are in progress.
The British early in the morning at
tacked In the sector of Mametz wood
and Longueval, and they made repeat
ed efforts in Trones woods, where yes

were sensibly hit by the rapid advance
f our reserves.
"After the first attempts of the
enemy had been beaten back the Brit
ish engaged in new attacks.
"The French, after numerous fail
ures in the last few days, met with an
other setback yesterday, when they at
tacked without success in the vicinity
of Barleux and to the west of Estrees.
Neither the French nor their black
friends gained one yard of terrain.
East of the Meuse French attempts
at reconquest failed. Near the fortress
of Souville our curtain of fire Impeded
the attack. Near the Laufee works the
attack was flatly repulsed.
On the rest of the front numerous

VERDUN FIGHT KEPT UP
GERMANS WITHDRAW NO MEN OR

Berlin Statement Says Head of Army
Has Not Permitted Himself to Lose
Sight of Objective.
BERLIN, July 14. (By -wireless to
Sayville, N. Y.) The offensive of the
entente allies on the western front has
not caused the withdrawal by the Ger
mans of a single man or a single gun
from the Verdun front, where the at
tack on the French fortress Is being
consistently and successfully pressed,
says a statement issued today by the
Overseas News agency, summarizing
newspaper comments on the western
front campaign.
"The German success reported yes
terday to have been won on the right
bank of the Meuse near Rort Souville
and Laufee plateau is commented upon
by the German papers as an event of
remarkable importance," says the News
agency summary. "This, the first en
terprise attempted at Verdun since the
beginning of the great enemy offensive,
proves conclusively that the head of
the German army, despite all hostile
attacks on both the eastern and west
ern fronts, has not lost sight of the
original object irr.vlew.
"No German soldiers and no German
cannon have been withdrawn from
Verdun and the battle is continuing
successfully with the initiative In Ger
man hands. If Germany's enemies had
hoped to seize the initiative by the at
tacks of their armies of millions of
men and lay down a course of action
for the Germans, they have been bit
terly disappointed by the course of
events.
"After their brief successes won at
the beginning of their offensive, the
advances of hostile masses have up to
this time been broken up by the heroic
resistance and tenacious endurance of
the brave German defenders of the
Somme. German headquarters remain
the master of the course of operations.
"The success won near Souville is
worthj; 0; mention as one oj the mean
French.
PARIS. July 14. The text of the of
ficial communication issued today by
the War Office Is:
"North of the Aisne In the region
south of Ville au Bo is and on the Vau
clerc plateau two attempts by the Ger
mans to make attacks were arrested
promptly by the fire of our machine
guns.
"On .the right bank of the Meuse the
artillery fighting was active in the
Souville sector. Patrol engagements
occurred in the Chenois wood.
'"On the remainder of the front there
were no important events."
The supplementary official statement
issued tonight says:
"The day was relatively calm on
the whole French front.
"In reprisal for the bombardment by
the enemy of the open town of Lune
ville on the night of June 24, one of
our aviators, flying at an altitude of
about 1500 feet, dropped several shells
of large caliber on the town of Mul

PETROGRAD, July 14. The text of
today's official War Office report is:
"The enemy attacked our forces on
the left bank of t"-e Stokhod. 'n the
region of the Lower Llpa the enemy
opened a violent artillery fire.
"West of the Strlpa the Austro-Ger-man
forces launched furious counter
attacks. We captured in this region
3200 prisoners, two guns, 19 machine
guns and one bomb-thrower.
"On he Caucasus front near' Erse
rum our offensive is progressing and
a series of Turkish positions already
is in our hands. In many important

Belgian.
PARIS, July 14. The text of today's
official communication issued from
Belgian Army Headquarters is:
"Artillery duels continue at different
points on the front, particularly in the
region of Steenstraete. At this point
the struggle " reached a point of the
greatest intensity during the after
noon." Friday's War Moves
A
FTER the briefest preliminary
bombardment which has preceded
any important action on the Western
front, the British armies on the Somme
again have swept forward and have
captures! several important German
second positions. On a front of four
miles the British have advanced to a
depth of a mile and have held all po
sitions gained in spite of violent
counter attacks.
The strategic importance of the Brit
ish successes is marked by the
straightening of their line in conform
ity with that of the French, who had
hitherto advanced at a much greater
speed than their allies. The brevity
of the preliminary bombardment,
coupled with the statements of press
correspondents at the front that the
Britten losses were comparatively
small, lends support to unofficial
statements that the German second
line was much less strongly fortified
than the first defenses.
On the French portion of the Somme
front no action of importance was re
corded but in the French official state
ment for Friday it was announced that
the bombardment of German positions
on the Belgian front had reached a
point of the greatest Intensity. This
announcement recTives additional sig.
nificance as for more than a week the
Belgians have reported a persistent
and destructive bombardment directed
against the German fortifications.
These announcements were similar
to those made by the British preced
ing the opening of their great offen
sive, and may possibly indicate that
another big forward, movement by the
entente allies may be attempted at the
extreme western end of the battle line.
Another point of significance In the
day's official war reports is that the
only actions reported on the Verdun
rront were assaults by the French,
These assaults were noted In the Ger
man official statement, which made no
claims of a German offensive action.
On the Russian front the great bat
tle of the Stokhod is still raging with
the issue remaining in the balance.
The most important news from the
Russian side Is In regard to the op
erations in the Caucasus. The Grand
Duke Nicholas reports continuous and
substantial successes against the
Turks and apparently is launching an
other great offensive in the region
of Erzerum and Baiburt, aimed at the
very heart of the Turkish Empire.
A successful Russian advance along
this line would cut . off the Turkish
armies in the south and again place
Bagdad in Jeopardy.
taken to achieve the German end" as It
shows the whole world the superiority
of German arms," the summary con
cludes, "and proves that Germany has
reason ior viewing tne military situa
tion with the same confidence as be
fore." BRITISH MAKE NEW GAINS

Out of the blanket where the guns
were flashing arose the white slashes
of the old German trenches, the rib

which had shaded the highways but
now were denuded by shell fire.
While the 6moke barriers from the

More lines of troop were moving

gained the hotly desired summit and
now were looking downhill, where the

On the German side not a single Dal
loon is . visible. Fifteen have been
burned in the air by a secret contriv
ance, known only to the allies, since
the offensive began. The German ar
tillery is blinded because the allies
have now obtained mastery of the air,
according to the confident claims of
the British and French officers. It
is true, from this point of view, a
German aeroplane is rarely sighted,
while French aviators are constantly
on the wing.
French and British airmen have ac
tually co-operated, in infantry charges.
They have; swept over the battlefield
at as low an altitude as 600 feet and
some of the more daring swooped over
the struggling armies at as low a
height as 300 feet. These airmen have
signalled to the French artillery tele
phones the precise position of the Ger
man guns and the location of the
forces waiting for the French assault.
They have taken great risks of being
hit by shells of their own guns, but,
according to the officers,, every one
escaped.
The French have developed on a
great scale their aerial torpedoes,
which are charged with a higher ex
plosive than the large caliber shells.
These torpedoes can be hurled half a
mile and fired with such rapidity that
a- second will leave the ejector while
the first is still In the air.
The village of Complerre is scarcely
more than a name. Te resistance made
by the Germans here, as in all the other
villages in the neighborhood, seems to
have been most tenacious. In the
cemetery the vaults were used as bomb

ings around the graves as barricades.
The French concentrated their - gun
fire on the cemetery at Curlu for halt

NOTE SENT TO NEUTRALS
ABANDONMENT OF DECLARATION
OF LONDON EXPLAINED.
War Declared to Have Developed So
Many Improvements That New
Situation Is Created.
LONDON, July 14. The British
Foreign Office has addressed a note to
neutral governments explaining the
reasons which prompted the abandon
ment of the Declaration of London.
The Declaration was abrogated by
an order in council published on July
8, and a similar decree was Issued In
Paris on the same day.
The present British note explains
that the entente allies adopted the
Declaration of London at the begin
ning of the war, because, in their de
sire to conform to international law.
they believed the Declaration provided
a suitable digest or principles and a
compendium of working rules.
"But," says the note, "as the struggle
proceeded it developed beyond all pre
vious conceptions, owing to the mani
fold scientific improvements In war
fare, and produced conditions alto
gether different to previous naval
wars. j
"The allied governments, forced to
recognize the situation thus created.
therefore decided they must confine
themselves simply to applying the his
