Teutons Are Driven Back 800 to 500 Yards.-Allies Are 'Now 14ear the Big Rillroad Town of Combles. Quiet on Other Fronts. London.-The French and British striking with terrific force in three di rections on the Somme front, have stormed nearly three miles of German trences, driving forward at points to a depth of 300 to 500 yads. The most important gains were made by the British and French troops striking north from the point where the Allied lines meet. Maure pas and Clery, two-of the most impor tant points held by the Germans in this sector, have been flanked on both sides.' The road has also been reached be tween Maurepas and Guillemont, .the latter town being the immediate ob jective of the British. This advance, if maintained, brings the Allies direct ly in front of the large railroad town of Sombles. South of the Somme, the French stormed German trenches over a length of about three-quarterg of a mile, driving forward in a southerly direction from Belloy-on Santerre. Paris reports that a considerable num. ber of prisoners were taken in these operations. For the first time in many days no important action is reported from the Russian front and the same dearth of news prevails in regard to the Italian operations. The most important item of news 'regarding the Italian advance against Ttiest is contained in a news dispatch from Milan, Which says that German troops are to be employed in the defense of the, big Austrian port. If corroborated, this means tirait Italy and Germany will at last enter into an active state of war. VIRGiNIA' SOLDIER SLAIN; MEXICAN GIRL SHOT.
