OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
War Correspondent of the New York
Tribune. By Special Cable.
LONDON. July 28. The Russians de
livered three great blows against the
Teutonic forces on the east front to
day. The Czar's troops captured the
important railroad town of Brody. on
the northern Galician border, the chief
obstacle to their advance pn Lemberg;
smashed the entire first line of the
enemy west of Lutsk, and swept the
forces of General von Linsingen from
the line of the rivers Slonevka and
Buldurovka. in southern Volhynia.
Nine thousand Austrians and Ger
mans were made prisoners in the des
perate fighting of the day. according to
the Russian version officially reported
from Petrograd.
Brody'g Fall Surprises London.
The unexpectedness of the fall of
Brody has almost swept London off its
feet and there is great rejoicing
throughout the city tonight. Military
observers predict the capture of Lem
berg within the fortnight, together
with the breaking down of the entire
Teuton defense system in Galicia.
Brody is situated on the Rovno-Lem-berg
railroad. 58 miles northeast of the
Galician capital. As it is the key to
the Teuton defenses along the Strypa
and the northern frontier, its invest
ment places the Austrians in a most
dangerous position. The troops of
General Brussiloff now have a clear
path to their objective and seriously
menace the flank of the Austro-German
lines on the south as far as the Dnies
ter. With the advance of the Russians
along the road to Lemberg these lines
will be compelled to withdraw from
the whole of eastern Galicia or face "en
velopment. Superior in numbers and
in artillery and ammunition, the Rus
sians are not expected to meet with
opposition which they cannot overcome
In their drive on Lemberg.
Double Blow May Be Intended.
Tonight's official report from Ber
lin admits the success of Russian at
tacks northeast of Sviniusky. This is
taken to mean that General SakharofT
is waging a new fight for the posses
sion of Vladimir Volynskl and its
northern neighbor. Kovel. This is the
first time in more than a week that
there has been any indication that the
Russians were still intent on taking
Kovel now. All their efforts had been
centered on the fight for Brody and
the subsequent march on Lemberg. Ap
parently it is their intention to strike
the enemy a double blow byconcen
tratinsf against the Volhynian and
Galician lines at the same time.
The fall of Brody from the north
comes as a surprise. Here the Rus
sians had been halted for days, almost
on the outskirts of the town. Finding
It impossible to make a breach there,
they turned to the west. and. accord
ing to all indications, were almost pre
pared" to strike at Brody from the
pouth. Then came the sudden blow at
the lines which had before been re
garded as impregnable.
Around Baranovichi fierce fighting
continties. with neither side able to
win any important success. It is evi
ient that the Russians are throwing
all their strength into an effort to gain
command of the roads which radiate
from this region.

"WITH THE BRITISH ARMT IN
THE FIELD. July 27. via London. July
28. The British went after -Delville
Wood again today and took it. -
This morning the British put on
Delville Wood the heaviest concentra
tion of shell fire in a given area ever
directed against field fortifications.
Even he- gunners were amazed when
they computed Its volume per minute
in preparing the way for the infantry.
Counting the front a thousand yards,
there must have been three 'shells a
minute falling on every yard.
The purpose was to leave' nothing
standing. nothing living. Delville
Wood has left Trones V ood with
tame reputation. The infantry of both
sides there have no dugouts. Their only
protection is a hollow trench, such as
are dug In open field operation. A
shell which tears a hole among the
roots of a tree, killing a man, makes
some protection for his neighbor who
surveys the scene.

The British had nearly all of the
Delville Wood after the advance of
July 11. but the Germans got an en
filading machine gun and shell fire on
them and took possession of the middle
of the wood and of the British dad
for the British had fought to the last
man. But the British kept the south
ern end of the wood and the adjoining
village of Longueval against repeated
attacks, raking the Germans with ma
chine guns and shell fire.
When the infantry advanced this
morning they did not expect to recover
all the wood, but before the charge had
finished they had taken all except
about an acre of the northern end.
The troops engaged around Longue
val and Delville Wood, where ' the
fighting exceeds in ferocity anything
yet seen in the offensive, have been
both hardened regulars and new army
battalions. The new army men, fresh
from the English drill grounds, when
put Into this "hell's crucible" have
shown the same racial stubbornness
as the regulars.
Men Sent Back as Reward.
"No shell fire could be worse than
the way the teachers had pictured it
to us," said one of the new army men.
"We were expecting it all machine
guns, bombs, snipers, big shells and
little shells and so we were not sur
prised." The commander of one famous divis
ion told the men if they were good
boys and fought well when they at
tacked July 14 they would not be per
manently on the reserve, but would have
another chance on the offensive. When
they had come out to rest their com

BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
(War correspondent of the New York Tri
bune. By special cable.)
LONDON, July 28. (By Special
Cable.) General Haig's troops today
won two successes on the Somme front.
The last German strongholds in Longue
val were captured and maintained
against counter thrusts and the whole
of Delville wood was cleared of the
enemy.
It was the Anzacs against the Bran-
denburgers in the Delville wood, and
Britain's territorial troops won. For
seven days and nights the battle for
the possession of this important post
tion had raged. Slowly and at terrific
cost the Germans were compelled to
give ground. Gradually the counter
attacks by which they sought to re
gain lost territory became less and less
powerful. The) British line held.
Defenders Swept Away
British troops overran the southern
limits of the wood, then seizedsall but
the northern tip. The Brandenburgers
fought with desperation Indicative of
the value placed upon the position by
the German command and British prog
ress halted. But the defenders could
not withstand the fury of the British
rush today. Out of the last bit of
woods to which they had clung stub
bornly for ghastly hours, day and night.
they were swept.
Twice after their surrender of the
wood the Germans rallied to the at
tack, but Haig's battalions stood their
ground. Remembrance of July 17,
when after gaining control of the whole
wood they were swept out of it by
the enemy's overwhelming charges,
stiffened the lines.
British. Critics Confident.
In the repulse of these attacks and
the holding of the British lines critics
here read two things. London thinks
German resistance is growing weaker,
while the grip of Haig s forces is be
coming firmer with each success.
Foureaux. Pozieres, Delville, Longue
val the week past has seen the Ger
man hold released on these. It has seen
the British forces sweep on to com
mand of the heights which look down
on the highway to Bapaume and it has
seen the opening of the far easier drive
through the lines in the low level fields
alone which stand between the British
and their objective.
