(War Corrpondent of the N.w Tork Trib
une. By Special Cale.)
LONDON, July 30. (Special.) The
Joint Anglo-French attack was re
sumed on a seven-mile front north ot
the Somme thie morning, and all along
the line from Delville wood to the river
the Germans were driven back from a
quarter to half a mile. Heavy German
counter attacks were repulsed, all the
ground taken was held, and as a result
tonight the British are holding lines to
the east of the "Waterlot farm and
Trones wood just under the edge of
Guillemont. and the French have
cleared Hem, the wood, the Monacu
farm and quarry north of it, and have
reached the outskirts-of Maurepas.
It was to the French that the bulk
of the day's honors fell. Springing
from their trenches in the early morn
ing, they drove the Germans from a
complete system of trenches five miles
long and in place a half mile deep.
There had been the usual heavy artil
lery preparation, and they found little
left of the German trenches which they
-ould turn to their own use. They im
mediately dug in and when the fierce
counter-attacks came were ready and
held firm.
Desperate Fighting Coins; On. .
The fighting is reported as desperate,
particularly near the Monacu farm,
and the German losses were heavy.
The British were fighting over terri
toay they had won and lost before.
'Thid time they were also ready for the
counter drives, and night found them
holding all they had gained. The drive
took them to the prlge of Guillemont,
which they had entered twice before.
The day's successes menace the Ger
man lines in two - ways. The allies
have driven a wedge in between the
Albert ridge and Peronne. The most
serious danger lies to the north, where
they are passing around as well as over
the eastern end of the Albert ridge,
and will soon be in the rear of the
German lines there. The French threat
to Peronne is also grave, since they
have straightened and cleared their
tines north of the river, in the direc
tion from which their final attack will
have to be launched.
tYider Offensive Forecast.
The renewal of the intense bombard
ment on a wider front than the Somme
attack, and the British raids around
Ypres and Loos, forecast a wider of
fensive than has yet taken place.
General Haig's emphasis on the se
verity of the British gunfire is parti
cularly interesting because it is an
open secret that the British output of
guns and ammunitions' is increasing
enormously at the present moment. The
French supplies have also far outrun
what the Germans can afford to use
along their part of the front and this,
in a war where the majority of the
casualties are from ' shell fire, is ex
pected to reverse the usual rule that
the attackers' losses are the heavier. .
The bare holding of trenches against
the rain of shells which can now . be
poured in by the allied guns- will be
tremendously costly, even if no attack
is made.

fantry and artillery operations along
the hundred-mile front in Volhynia and
Northern Galicia, which the Russians
smashed yesterday. According to Pe

the line is proceeding, with the Teu

defenses near Kovel.
General Brussiloff's troops now hold
virtually the whole of the Stokhod line.
Only at isolated places have the Ger
mans and Austrians been able to hold
out against the terrific onslaughts of
the last threeyiays. and these they
are 'expected to abandon as soon as the
danger of flank or rear attacks be
comes more pronounced.

our troops, passing to' the attack, cap

"We hold the wood north of Hen

livered powerful counter-attacks, par
ticularly in the region of Monacu

"Everywhere our fire shattered the
enemy's- efforts and inflicted heavy
losses on him. We have retained the
whole of the conquered ground and
taken more than 200 prisoners.

The text of the Russian official state

engaged the raiders and put then to

"An officer cn the cavalry staff.

brought him to earth.
"To the east of Baranovichi an enemy

in the Stokhod. "The withdrawal had
been planned for a long time" is the
admission made by B-;rlin tonight. The
German statement- also announces the
repulse with severe losses of Russian
attacks along this whole front.
The Russian armies continue to push
forward at the other points where the
opening of breaches in the Teuton lines
would seriously menace important dis
tricts and towns. Northwest of Buc
zacs, south of Brody and in the direc
tion of Stanislau, the Austrian lines
are being subjected to the most pow
erful pressure and In spots have
crumpled in before the Russian on
slaughts.
Battle On Sooth of Dniester.
South of the Dniester, where the bat
tie is on in earnest for the first time
since the floods of early this Summer
prevented the continuation of actions.
the Russian army has flowed over the
Austrian advanced lines and is pound
ing furiously at the second lines east
of Tlumach. The double victory of the
Czar's troops at Brody and west of
Lutsk, coupled with the renewed of
fensive of General Letchitsky on the
Dniester, has put Von Bothmer's forces
along the Stripa in a position from
which they will have difficulty in ex
tricattng themselves if the warning is
not heeded soon. Already, apparently.
the Austrians are exposed to flank as
saults.
In the north. General Sakharcfff is
nearer Lemberg than Von Bothmer, and
only the speedy retirement of the lt
ter toward the Galician capital, with
the defense of which he is entrusted
can save him from rear attacks and
possible envelopment.
Two Positions Interdependent.
The real danger to the Teutons in the
Russians' double drive lies in the inter
dependence, of Jxovel and Lemberg. As
soon as one falls, nothing can save the
other. Consequently, the Austrians and
Germans cannot concentrate their
forces at one single point. They must
confront the Russians with Just as
powerful forces in front of Kovel as
before Lemberg.
Their defenses irAist be just as strong
on the line between Kovel and Lem
berg as at the towns themselves, for a
front cannot break at one point with
out imperilling all other points.

LIQUOR SEIZURE IS UPHELD
Supreme Court Itules Against
Walla Walla Pharmacist.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. July SO. Revers
ing the decision of the Walla Walla
Superior Court, the State Supreme
Court Saturday held that the fact that
a man Is a registered pharmacist and
might at some future date open a
drug store, does not entitle him to
possess liquor in excess of the quan
tity prescribed by law. The suit arose
from the seizure by the Sheriff of
Walla Walla of a quantity of intoxi
cants owned by Fred Martin, a regis
tered pharmacist. MarLUi contended
that he was holding the liquor to stock
a drug store which he Intended to
open, and the Superior Court ordered
the liquor returned toliim.
The Supreme Court held that. Inas
much as Martin did not contend that
the liquor was for his personal use
and as he waa not yet engaged in the
drug business, the liquor was subject
to seisure and should be destroyed.
