ilized to check General Pershing s
movements are now in Chihuahua

Gen. Haig Reports Situation
Unchanged, Though Fighting
Fierce.
BRITISH ATTACK NEAR
CRISIS NORTHEAST ALBERT
Germans Undoubtedly Intend
to Continue the Verdun
Campaign.
(By United Press)
London, July 13. Artillery firing
occurred in several sector; of the Bri
tish front last night. The general sit
uation is unchanged, General Haig re
ported this afternoon. West of
Wytchaete the Germans attempted a
raid, but were repulsed. .
The second phase of the British of
fensive is approaching a crisis north
east of Albert, where the English are
striving to advance two miles to the
heights of Martinpuch. Th? Germans
have thrown two army corps into ac
tion there, counter-attacking savage
ly, particularly southeast of Contal
maison, where German success would
halt the entire British advance.
British correspondents report Eng
lish losses severe only where thereis
dose fighting for possession of vil
lages. German correspondents, ad
mitting a powerful offensive, declare
the attackers losses are comparable
only at Verdun. No Canadian, or
Australian troops participated in the
Somme offensive. New Foundlanders
however, distinguished themselves.
In the eastern front operations east
of Kovel have reached a temnorarv
luii. .- ;, .
Paris, July 13. Dense German
.nasses are storming the approaches of
Fort Souville, in the seventh great as
iault on Verdun since the battle start
ed 146 days ago. Violence in yester
day's attacks furnished unmistakable
evidence that Germany was' determin
ed to continue the Verdun attack re
gardless of the critical position on
other fronts. The Germans bombarded
violently throughout-Jast night, but
made no infantry attacks. The Ger
mans spent 18 days in artillery prepa
ration for the present efforts. . .
London, July 13. Premier Asquith,
announcing the suspension of August
bank holidays, revealed the determin-
r.tion of the allies to Continue the
Somme offensive for months to
