British troops repulsed on Monday five strong and determined German attacks on their newly won positions north and northeast of Pozieres, driv- ing out hostile detachments which had! made their way into the British trenches at one or two points. The Germans also made several small at-. tacks east of Pozieres Sunday night and these were all summarily dealt with. Late Monday the French troops captured a line of German trenches between the Hem Wood and the Somme, according to the official state-: ment issued by the war office. They also made some progress south of. the Thiaumont work. London reported on Monday: Fur~ the: important gains, including the capture of German trenches on a. front of about 3,000 yards and of a. depth of 400 to 600 yards, north and east of Pozieres, on the Somme battlefront, were made by the British troops in two days’ fighting, “in which Austra~ Australians and English Take 5,000 Yards and Repulse Attacks Sir Douglas Haig Gives Strong Assur-| I ances of Confidence 'f The following despatch was sent sent on Tuesday from British Head- quarters at the front by Frederick Palmer: 'f'l‘he third year of the war will be the'ailies’ year.

Sir Sam Hughes Announce: it Re- views of Reserves Folkestone despatches on Friday said: Sir Sam Hughes was received at the Canadian training division this morning. There were present the fol- lowing parliamentary delegates: Sena- tor Dennis. Messrs. Armstrong, Shep- herd and Nickie. Addressing the ot- flcers, Sir Sam Hughes said that two or three new divisions would be or- ganized in England. providing work for the many excellent surplus om- cers. He complimented the officers and men upon their splendid appearance, and said he was told by a wounded German soldier in New York that the enemy r. mrded the Canadians as amongst the best troops against them. Sir George Foster said that he was not a twin-m: man. but if he were any judge of good-looking, well set up and effective troops. then the men he saw before him were the finest body of tr00ps he had ever seen. It is stated by a reliable authority that Germany and Austria since June 4 have lost on both the eastern and western fronts, not including the Italian front. 380,000 officers and men in priszrztu‘s. and 370,000 in killed and wounded, representing a permanent loss of 600,000 men. In addition, they are said to have lost 600 guns and In Two Months’ War on East and West Fronts 1,500 machine guns. The German estimate of the British and French losses on the Somme is stated tube a gross exaggeration. Gen. Joffre on Saturday received the Associated Press correspondent and eXpressed the View that the turning point of the great conflict has now been successfully reached and passed, and that with the united action of the entente allies on the many fronts, they were pressing forward to the cer- tain collapse of the German efforts and to an assured victory of the al- lied armies.

Sakharoff’s troops continue to advance south of Brody and toward Lemberg. Petrograd reports the cap- ture of 1,300 Austre-Germans‘ in a. “hot attack” on the line of the Sereth and Graberki Rivers. All attempts of the Teutous to assume a counter- offensive in this region have proven futile. For the first time since the initiation of General Brusiloff’s offen- sive on June 3rd the Russians have suffered a reverse. Friday’s Petro- grad War Ofiice saxtement admitted that .the Muscovite forces attacking the great Volhyniau railway centre, Karel, from the west, were driven from the village of Rudka-Nirvankaia, 19 miles from Kovel, and compelled to retire between 400 and 600 yards to the east. This came within 12 hours after an official bulletin from Berlin had given the news that Field Marshal von Hindenburg had been placed in supreme command of the entire battle line in the East. Russians Report Reverse Near Kove! â€"Hindenburg Promoted According to information reaching Rome on Tuesday the Austro-Gcrman stat! has resolved not to defend any towns along the Volhynia-Galician front, in order to avoid being sur- rounded by the Russians. Therefore neither Kovel, Stanislau nor Lemberg will be defended. As the Russians hive reached positions southwest and north of Kovel, the Germans already have evacuated the town. Pursuing the advantages previously won in the region of the Graberka and the Sereth Rivers, Russian troops cap- hired strongly fortified positions in the vicinity of the villages of Zvyjin, Kos- tiniec, and Renieuv, according to Mon- day’s official communication to Petro- Unint‘ermpted rains have con- verted the country almost into a mor- ass, making the going exceedingly slow.
