On June 21 it was determined to straighten the line upon the extreme right and at 1.80 a.m., the prelimi- nary bombardment began. All through the morning the cannonade went on. By noon the second division of French had on the left stormed and chptured all the Turkish trenches 'of the first two lines. Even the Haricot redoubt with its damnable entangle- ments and maze of communicating trenches was in French hands. On the right, however, the first division, after reaching its objective, had been counter-attacked so * effectively that they had fallen back, Again they ad- vanced, again they took the trenches and again they were driven out.

Frederick Rennet, discussing the situ- ation in a despatch from Petrograd to the Daily News, says: "Gen. Mackenzen's main army is hurrying as rapidly as the light caval- ry and' artillery, picked 'troops and motor {ransports. can: go .acnoss the! gap of broken country towards: the junction of the railway at. Cholm.| The continued absence of rains in this' district favor his project, yet the Ger- man General has before him a dan-' gerous passage across the marshy féns in the region of Kovel. ¥ "Mackenzen's 'enormous forces are' trying their utmost to pierce the Rus- sian line, but without success." a A PRISONER IN AUSTRIA. A despateh from Berlin. says: A Bavarian courier reports that among the prisoners of war at Lerchenfeld (one of the quarters of Vienna) is a member of the Paris branch of the Rothschild family, who was captured while driving an automobile, ~The courier declared that efforts made th gh the Spanish Embassy, to have special treatment accorded Mr. Roths- child resulted in his being compelled . to go)to work in the hay fields with other prisoners at 4 o'clock the next morning. |... er SUBMARINE SUNK BY FRENCH AVIATOR : Fh kish Prin sssauly was was a eiverad 2 re hovers of ammunition, but "the eneniy' Fought even with stones, sticks and fists, A battalion' came' hurrying up from the Turkish right to' Zeingoree i, from was counter- a D In the morning we heard gladly the enemy's counter-attacks had ed 'and that -our allies weve aa : firmly established.
