RUSSIANS SEEK TO
SPLIT ALLIED FOES
Attack on Germans From Rear
Is Believed Part of In-
u. tent of Drive.
55,000 PRISONERS TAKEN
Idea Is to Keep Germans Too Busy
to Allow Them to Aid Austrlans
v While Smashing Attack Is
Being Delivered.
CHICAGO, June 10. (Special.) Baa
sett DIgby, in a special cable from
Petrograd to the Chicago News, says:
"The swift and successful advance
of the Russian forces in Volnynia, ac
cording to competent military opinion
here, has for its primary object the
delivering of a shattering blow at the
Junction point of the German and Aus
trian armies, thus badly disorganizing
the enemy's arrangements in that re
gion. "Since the early hours of Sunday
morning, when massed batteries began
a hurricane fire on the Austrlans. Gen
eral Brussiloff's abundantly munitioned
armies have penetrated deeply into the
enemy's lines and taken 65,000 prison
ers, including 1000 officers. The Aus
trlans killed and wounded number at
least another 50,000. These results
show that the present battle is one of
the fiercest and greatest in the entire
war.
ew Phase la Likely.
"General Brussiloff is pouring divi
sion after division of fresh troops into
the deepening gap made by his guns.
It is believed that another week will
see the unfolding of the next phase In
the Russian plan of offensive.
"It probably consists in thrusting for
ward a mass of troops to the north
ward behind the German lines from the
Pripet marshes toward the Gulf of
Riga, while a second mass hurls itself
against the Austrian m-.in army bar
ring the way to Lemberg.
"Thus both operations would be un
der the most favorable circumstances,
the Germans being kept too busy ex
tricating their armies from the Pripet
to the Baltic to allow them to spare
brains and men to stiffen the admltted
' ly inferior Austrian troops, who are
being subjected to a Verdun-like bat
tering. Outlook Is More Favorable.
"The outlook is more favorable for
Russia than at any other time since its
armies had to be withdrawn from the
plains of Hungary in May of last year.
"Reports are beginnin- to arrive
from the south telling h -w, on Satur
day night, a great crescendo of gun
fire brought civilians from their beds
for 25 miles behind the lines. There
was a loud and continuous roar, which
caused the windows to rattle. The next
morning the telephone and telegraph
services at the railroad, 20 miles from
the batteries, were forced to cease be
cause of the noise and vibration.
"Later imperative calls came -'or
more shells, while tralnloads of prison
t. ers began to arrive t A be forwarded to
the depots at Kiev. Among those cap
tured were many German infantrymen,
but the great majority of the prisoners
were Austrlans."

ficial statement
says:
"The chief center of activity has been
about Tpres. where there has been a
heavy artillery bombardment. Our
trenches north of the Ypres-Comlnes

"We exploded a mine at Cuinchy,
considerably damaging ' the enemy
trenches. We sprang two mines south
of the Virestraat-Wytschaete road,
causing slight damage to our trench

The Russians are continuing to push
westward from Lutsk, after crossing
the River Styr, fighting rear-guard ac

In Galicia, northeast of Tarnapol, the
Austrian defensa appears to be stiffen

At Verdun, the German War Office
announces further progress northeast
of the fortress, where ground has been
gained southwest of Foft Douaumont
and .west of Fort Vaux. In taking a
field work in the latter sector, more
than 500 men and 22 machine guns

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, June S. via London, June 10.
Talks with officers who have been
relieved of duty in front-line trenches
show that the battle in which the
Canadians were engaged June 2 and 3
was the bloodiest on both sides that
has been fought on the British front
since the battle of Loos.
The Germans attacked in stronger
force than was at first supposed, evi
dently having decided to use their
Verdun tactics in the Tpres salient.
Five hours of artillery fire from guns
of every calibre .and from trench mor
tars crossfire as well as frontal fire
being directed at the salient angle
where a watery subsoil makes dugouts
Impossible utterly leveled the trenches
at some points. Against the German
curtains of fire the British guns sent
their curtain of fire.
Cfraau Heavily Equipped.
The German infantry which survived
the British fire rushed into the breeches
after the bombardment had ceased.
They had full packs with blankets.
each carried a flask of rum and one of
coffee, a pocket electric flashlight and
full rations, evidently having prepared
for a big advance. When they pressed
on, still confident that their guns had
blazed a way, they were checked by
the fire of the Canadians, who unflinch
ingly stuck to the support trerthes
under a shower of shells that lasted
from 8:30 o'clock in the mining until
11 o'clock that night, when re-inforce-
ments came and a counter attack was
begun.
Tales abound of the heroism of small
units at points where the battle was
most violent. At one place on the front
line where the trenches had been
smashed to the level of th ground, the
surviving Canadians rushed out to face
the overwhelming German charge and
die.
Men Fight Hand to Hand.
At another place, a square pit In the
earth. Colonel Shaw and 70 or 80 men,
who were surrounded, fought the Ger
mans hand to hand without offering to
capitulate. Colonel Shaw was killed,
and the Major who succeeded to the
command told the men remaining to
escape if they could. Two succeeded in
doing so. The 'last they saw of the
Major he had fired his revolver and
then thrown it in the face of a Ger
man, grappling with him before they
went down.
Several Americans were among the
Canadians.
A company that held a vital point of
support, with aid unable to reach it
because of the curtain of shell-fire,
stuck gamely to its post all day under
the command of a Captain formerly of
the Seventieth Regiment of New York.

The attack finally broke under the
rifles of a battalion in a maple copse.

Tribute Paid to Bravery of Enemy
Sailors Destruction of Ships
by Inferno of Shell Kire
Graphically Described.
BERLIN, June 10. (From an Asso
ciated Press Staff Correspondent, by
Wireless to Sayville, N. Y.) A graphic
story of the naval battle off the Jut
land coast, replete with tributes to the
bravery of England's sailors and to the
coolness and devotion of the German
bluejackets in the memorable engage
ment, has been given to the Associated
Press correspondent by a high sea of
ficer of the German Admiralty staff.
This officer, although not present at
the battle had access to all the reports
and now has returned to Berlin, after
two days spent among the officers of
the high sea fleet. - His description is
most interesting where it touches upon
the points on which the German and
British recitals differ sharply as re
gards the respective losses of the two
fleets and the British contention of "a
German flight" from the field.
Loss of Warsplte Reasserted.
To the correspondent's first question.
What are the facts about the War
pite?" the J)lg British battleship.
whose loss the Germans affirm and the
British deny, the officer replied:
The Warspite certainly was lost.
We have this on not only known ob
servations, but, what is more impor
tant, the testimony of British sailors.
The first confirmation came when a
destroyer of our third flotilla fished
out of the water a sailor from the Brit
ish destroyer Turbulent, who said he
himself had observed the sinking of the
Warspite. Later two other sailors
gave the same account,' although the
three were never together after the
rescue and each was questioned sep
arately. This should be conclusive."
The correspondent asked how the in
dividual ships were destroyed.
'It is difficult to give definite de
tails in all cases." the officer respond
ed, "owing to the ranges, the thick
weather, and the fact that few officers
on board a ship in action have the
time or the opportunity for such de
tails. Here, however, is the story of
the destruction of one of the British
battle cruisers, probably the Queen
Mary, or the Indefatigable, as told to
me by an officer who witnessed it.
Cruiser Hit by Three Salvos.
"It was during an early stage of the
action of the battle cruisers that , my
friend saw the warship struck square
ly in quick succession by three full
salvos of heavy shells. The gray sil
houette, lowon the water line, quiv
ered from the shock as the first two
salvos hit. At the third, the cruiser
seemed literally to crumble up and
bend amidships. The bow and the
stern rose and - then the whole ship
was lifted bodily out of water. A
terrific explosion had blotted her out
and she sank, leaving no trace behind.
The destruction of several other
cruisers occurred similarly. A shell
would reach the magazine; then would
come a mighty puff of smoke and
flames and the brief death agony of the
warcraft would be over almost before
one began to notice It.
One of the most thrilling episodes
was the destruction of a big four
funneled armored cruiser which ran
squarely under the guns of our battle
ships during the night and was anni
hilated within four minutes by our
dreadnoughts steaming in column. In
pitchy darkness, witn lights out. the
cruiser approached at Tight angles un
der full speed, evidently unaware of
the presence of the squadron. She was
sighted at a distance of about 1500
yards and received a full broadside
from the leading German ship, the
Westfalen. "
Escaping Ships Hard Hit.
"She ran on another 500 yards and
then turned like a wounded hare, but
nstead of making away steered a
course parallel to the column 1000
yards distant, receiving the broad
sides of three successive ships. The
cruiser, literally covered with shells.
was unable to fire a single shot in
reply, and blew up opposite the fourth
ship.
'The British claim that the surviv
ing units of their battle fleet were not
materially damaged and were ready to
take Bea again after coaling is ab
surd. The greater part of the daylight
action was fought with ships running
along parallel lines and where so many
ships were destroyel it is obvious that
the others did not escape unscathed, lor
our fire was not concentrated on any
particular ship, as it was necessary to
keep all the ships covered quickly so
as to Interfere with deliberation in aim.
"We are perfectly sure that the grand
fleet cannot, as the British assert, go to
sea virtually unimpaired in strength
for a long time. It has been bard hit
in its material - and suffered colossal
losses in its personnel. We estimate
conservatively that the British lost
7nno mfn drowned or killed bv shell
fire, losses of the most difficult sort
to replace.
Whole German Fleet Encaged.
"A British Admiralty ' representative
declared to your London correspondent,
and Winston Churchill repeats the
declaration, that the British were suc
cessful because they broke up our un
dertaking. Y hat undertaking? Is
question I would like to ask. Do they
imagine that we went out with our en
tire available force of battleships, bat
tle cruisers, etc., to shoot sparrows, or,
that if we were planning a new cruiser
raid upon the English coast we -went
up to the Norwegian coast as a starting
polntr No, we went norm to una tne
enemy which we knew was there. We
found him. met the bulk of the British
grand fleet in a square stand-up fight.
Inflicted the heavy loss of one of his
most modern superdreadnoughts. three
battle cruisers.' a small navy of armored
cruisers, scouts and destroyers, and
paid a comparatively low price for our
victory.
Then the childish excuse that the
British main fleet was not engaged and
that we ran to avoid meeting. The
facts Bpeak for themselves. Germany
has only 19 dreadnoughts, including
four of the Posen class, which are only
half dreadnoughts, with 11-inch arma
ment. All of these, except one battle
ship, which is undergoing boiler re
pairs, were present and engaged. The
British had at the outset of the war
25 dreadnaughts, to which have been
added five of the Queen Elizabeth class
and five of the Resolution class,
launched and completed during the war,
a total of 35 dreadnoughts.
"Twenty-five of these, including five
of the Queen Elizabeth class, were en
gaged in the battle. The presence
with the German fleet of a squadron or
the Pommern class, slow 18-knot ships,
demolished completely the contention
that the British were unable to bring
on a general action had they desired
to do so. Admiral Jellicoe, with his
