General Offensive Is
Development On West
LONDON, July 3.—The War Of
fice says that the western fighting
which began in an atack north and
south of the Somme within a rela
tively narrow sector of twenty-five
ihiles is now becoming a general
engagement with the offensive also
general along the entire front.
German reserves this afternoon
have been rushed forward in a
vigorous counter offensive, but so
far they have not wholly stemmed
the Allied rush, although in more j
than one section they have checked
It.
I LONDON, July 3.—The British
forces captured four thousand Ger
mans in today’s offensive. The total
German losses in the rush are esti
mated at sixty thousand.
*
BERLIN,, July 3.—The efforts of
the Allies are greatly discounted
in the papers here as well as in the
official bulletins. The greatly boast
ed rush is proving weak and unim
portant say the papers, with general
unanimity, and excites no German
concern. The offensive fighting is
poor.
LONION, July 3^.—North and
South of the Somme the German
second line of trenches have been
captured. Six thousand prisoners
were taken by the Alies since too
drive began up to this morning
The British have captured Fricourt
while German airmen bombarded
Nancy, Lunevllle and Belfort behind
the lines.
PARIS, July 3.—The Germans
captured Damloup today hut were
promptly ejected by the French.
RUSSIANS RETREAT ON
THE TURKISH RATTLE LINE
CONSTANTINOPLE, July-3.—The
Russians have been pounded to
pieces by constant Turkish attacks
along their Persian front and are
now continuing their retreat. The
British forces under Gorringo bid
fair to serve the same fate as Gen
eral Townsend and his band of In
dian and British troops. Co-opera
tion between the British and Rus
sion forces is now impossible as the
brilUiant Turkish offensive strategy
has wedged them wider and • wider
apart. c
The military authorities here feel
jubilant over the satisfactory issue
of ths well thought out campaign.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 3.—The
Russians have been again pushed
back in Asia Minor along a six mile
front towards the Black Sta.
The situation is completely chang
ed and the confidence of the Otto
man troops has returned Intensified
by their recent victories.
The Russians are faring badly
also in southern Armenia.
PETROGRAD, July 3.—There Is
no effort made to push forward
the Nicolas campaign at this time
owing to adverse weather conditions
in the desertlands of Asia minor.
The troops are resting. Turkish
reports of victory are denied. The
lack of Russian offensive is taken
to mean a Turkish gain by the com
manders making these reports.

VIENNA, July 3.—Fierce fight
ing took place along the northern
sector of the Dobredo plateau, the
Italian attacks failing.
The Italian attacks also blew up
before the concentrated fire of the
Austrian machine guns and artil
lery between Brenta and Etsch.
The fact that the Austrians art
numerically inferior to the Italians
has not seriously affected the situa- i
tion; the Austrian troops proving
valiant and brave defenders against
all odds.
The Commander’s reports of the
engagements pay a flattering tribute
to the gallantry of his men.
HOME, July 3.—The Italian of
fensive is proceeding. Great addi
tioanl reinforcements have been
sent forward today.

WASHINGTON, I). C., July 3.—
Alarmist dispatches today are con
fined in a great measure to the in
terventionist press.
The Mexican crisis is not nearly
so grave as it has been probably
because cooler counsels have pre

PARIS, July 3.—The War is de
veloping along all fronts such a fast
