Great Counter Attack
V * i.
PARIS, July 28.—The German;
inaugurated a terrific counter-offen
sive today against the British lines
with the maximum effort being di
rected towards a recovery of thi
positions at Pozieres.
They were completely repulse<
although they again and again re
newed the attacks. The lossei
sustained reach a considerable mag
nitiule.
LONDON, July 28.—The desperati
German efforts which were inaugur
i ated today are evidently only an
■ introduction to a gigantic offensive
, which is determined upon in order
■ to regain control of the Bapaume
i plateau heights, possession of
which by the Allies menaces their
whole position. After the failure of
their advances today they were com
i pelled to resort to an intensive
bombardment.
Sir Douglas Haig reports that the
British bombardment is still main
tained and even during the inten
sity of the German attacks there
was no lull in the vigor of the
British fire.
PARIS, July 28.—The evening's
communique again lays special
J stress upon the fact that the Ger
man attacks in Verdun were of a
minor nature and lacked any semb
lance of wieght.
BERLIN, July 28.—German at
tacks required the British to bring
up reserves to hold Pozieres which
will soon fall.
GERMANS AND RUSSIANS
MIX IN DEADLY DATTLES
PETROGRAD, July 28.—The si
tuation is now changed south of
Riga, the Germans desisting in
their offensive and General lvuro
patkin taking the offensive. A des
perate battle is raging now south
of „*,ke Volchitna where the Ger
mans are trying to hold the military
road over some swampy territory.
The situation against Leopold is
better developed today, the Ger
mans preparing to withdraw still
further.
The fighting just north of Kovel
where the northern army of the
combined Austro-German forces at
tempted a flanking offensive is
growing in intensity.
Tlie direction of the Russian
movement against General Flallfn
who tried to relieve General
Pflanderz caused a collapse of the
relieving force which is now on the
defensive.
The fighting near Baroniwistcli is
heavy with the Russians trying to
force a wedge into the new lines of
defense.

bouts but they too were obliged to
abandon their ship after the subma
rines attacked it. The most of the
crews of eight vessels sunk were
landed in the port of Tynemouth
after the raid. Three patrol boats
put out after the submarine flotilla
and came upon them off the Scotch
coast. The submarines submerged
but not until they had fired into
the foremost patrol boat which had
it is believed punctured one of the
submarines.
The Nellie Nutton was attacked
by the same flotilla and sunk.
Three of the crew of this vessel
were killed outright, eleven others
were rescued by Dutch fishing ves
sels and three died of wounds. Two
boats which contained more of the
crew are supposed to have been
lost.

ing upon the "valor” of the Ger
mans with great bitterness.

ing killed outright and one fatally
wounded. A poBse in autos is now
chasing the bandits.
This morning just after the open
ing of the bank, the three bandits
leaped into a fast touring car that
stood outside the Sunol hotel. They
drove up to the bank which they im
mediately held up, one man gaard
ing the bank building and the auto
with a gun while the other two men
made the raid. They made a huge
haul and brought it to the car just
as the owner and his machinist
appeared. The bandits who were
expert men driving the auto started
at once and when the pursuers tried
to puncture with shots the tires
they replied with fatal results.
