IN UPON WARSAW
STRIKE AGAIN AT VERDUN
Vital Point In French Iilne Selected
I for Attack?Dardanelles Kejw>rts
are Unofficial?Italian Progress is
Slow Hut Steady Towards Trent
and Trieste.
The military expert of The New
York Times reviews the war:
The past week has seen a marked
advance of the Teuton allies In their
project of clearing Galicla of the Russians.
The progress had been slower
than for six weeks previous due to
the stubborn resistance . of the Russian
troops and to their counter-attacks,
but the relentless pressure of
men and guns was too strong to be
withstood.
After the fall of Lemberg the Germans
apparently sent lar^e forces
southeast to take the positions on the
Dniester. These forces, before they
accomplished their object, were
roughly handled by the Russians who
were waiting for them, and it is
among them that the most serious
losses have occurred.
The temporary check to their advance
against the. Dniester front caused
a shift in the point of attack. A
comparative lull in the Dniester fighting
was coincident with an attack
along ?lie Stryj Tarnopol road at Chodorot
aud an attempt to advance
southeast from Lemberg along the
Lemberg-Brzezony railroad.
Rut the defensive strength of the
Russians was underestimated. The
Teutons could make no headway at
cimur puiui. i ue reuions, nowever,
continued to force the fighting and
again launched a terrific attack on
the Dniester line, particularly between
Halicz and the small town of
Chodorof to the west, and it was
along this line that the passage of
the Dniester was forced.
This necessarily affected the line
to tho north, which in turn took up a
new defensive position along the
Gnila Llpa river, about fifteen miles
to the east. By making this retreat
in time the Russians undoubtedly
saved themselves great losses in both
men and artillery.
Following this retirement the Russian
line east of Lemberg was also
forced back to the line of the Bug
river, a stream almost as great in defensive
possibilities as the Dniester.
It was not to be expected, however,
that the RusBiavs would stand lone
"behind the Gnila Upa, as its defensive
strength is not to be compared
with the Dniester.
If they could not hold the Dniester
how much less then could they hold
the Gnila Lipa. As a matter of fact,
the forces on the latter line were
used merely as covering troops for
the positions in their rear, and in
oply twenty-four hours they were
forced from the river to the country
between the Gnila Idpa and the Zlota
Lipa.
North of Romberg, on the line between
Kielce and Kawa Ruska, the
Ktwsianline lias also been driven

NAVAL BATTLE IN BALTIC;
REPORTS ARE IN CONFLICT
Germans and Russians Both Claim to
Have Chased the "Enemy's*'
Squadrons.
Petrograd reports: "The morning
of July 2, along the parallel of the
Cestegarn lighthouse, on the east
coast of the island of Gothland, our
cruisers encountered In a fog two
enemys light cruisers and some torpedo
boats and engaged them in battle.
"At nine o'clock in the morning a
German cruiser, badly damaged, lowered
her flag and ran ashore. The
other cruiser and the torpedo boats
fled.
"At ten o'clock our squadron encountered
the armored cruiser Roon,
one light cruiser and one torpedo
boat und renewed the battle.
"At ten-thirty o'clock the enemy
began to retire to the south. During
the retreat the enemy was joined by
another light cruiser. This vessel
was attacked by our Cruisers and
fled. At eleven-thirty o'clock the
pursuit ceased.
"After the battle oar squadron
was unsuccessfully attacked by submarines."
lierlln reports: The plucky fight of
the German layer Albatross against
four Russian cruisers of the armored
class and what is charged by German
naval officers as a Russian violation
of Swedish neutrality, claimed attention
at Berlin Saturday.
According to Swedish and Spanish
reports the Albatross in a dense fog
lost sight of accompanying small
cruisers and suddenly was attacked
by. four big ships. The mine layer
fought desperately for several hours,
but was driven towards the Swedish
coast and finally entered Swedish
waters.? The captain ran the ship
aground near Henviker.
The Russians, it is said, continued
firing long after the Albatross entered
Swedish territory. The Oestegarn
lighthouse was hit and the keeper
wa compeled to flee. The Albatross
was hit about thirty times.
Lieut. Loeweuberg and twenty-seven
men were killed and rftany others
were wounded. One shell entered
the ship hospital, killing ton wounded
men and fatally woundinir a dor
I tor.
The Russian cruisers, after the action
with the Albatross, were unpaged
by 0110 large warship and several
small German cruisers off the coast
and disappeared, hotly pursued by
the Germans.
Ilerlln, Monday: The Russian report
regarding the destruction of a
vessel of the Deutschland class is untrue,
according to a semi-official
statement. It also is denied that the
mine layer Albatross lowered the
German flag before running ashore
on Swedish territory. The Russians
are said to have fired fifteen hundred
shots at the Albatross, of which only
twenty-five were hits. An eye-witness
of the naval battle asserts that nearly
the entire stern of one Russian warship
was shot away.

2 The Italian Front.
In the Italian theatre, both ii
Trentino and along the Isonzo, thi
1 Ital.ans have been pushing ahem
, slowly, their advance being retardei
y by the almost impossible country ii
\ which their operations are takini
- place and the natural defensiv
g strength of the Austrian positions,
i Appreciable progress has bee:
y made in Trentino, notably on tli
e western side of Lake Garda towar
f itiva. Advancing up the Kota pas
the Italians first took Mount Caronc
and then, moving up the Ledro va!
e ley, ?onk the entire valley of tli
Ponale river, the falls of which gei:
erato the electric power for Rivi
" This is an advance of only about tw
p and one-half miles beyond the boi
, der into Trentino, but it brings th
1 Italian army to within three miles c
lQ Rlva.
>l The real offensive effort of tli
'. Italians, however, is not directe
f against Trentino but against tl
jj Inonzo line. The operations againi
r_ Trentino are entirely defensive I
n character. Any movement again!
re Trieste would be too dangerous f<
^ consideration If the Italian forces ej
n gaged in it were not protected again
r_ an attack In rear and flank by Au
trians pouring out of the passes <
in Trentino.
at The bottle must, therefore, 1
lp tightly corked. Trentino must 1
jr neutralized. And this the Itallai
are doing by sending, not their ma
army, but strong columns of troo
f Into every outlet from Trentino In
Q# Italy. Riva has not quite been reac
r.t) ad. Trent is still a long way off, b
tC_ Judged solely by the accompllshme
of what was first necessary to
done, the Trentino campaign must
regarded so far entirely successful.

In explanation of the part J. 1

ly at 'New York that the firm lif
handled more than five hundred mJ
lion dollars worth of contracts for tl
account of foreign governments sini

Of this amount about four hundr<

appointed by the French governmei
to act iu the same capacity as it do<
for the British government.
About one-half of the total amoui
contracted for in this country repr
sents contracts for ammunitio
shells, powder and the like, but <
the whole amount of ammunitic
contracted for only a small part,
was stated, had been forwarded I
the purchasers. The remainder

The Morgan firm's commission f<
placing the contracts was said to t
on a sliding scale which began at tw
per cent, and decreased in proportio
ot the magnitude of the contracts.
It was explnined that of the toti
of four hundred and fifty millie
dollars worth worth of war supplh
contracted for by the Morgan flri
only a small proportion had bee
paid, although advances have bee
made to some firms.
This explanation was given to co
rect the impression that the larj

responsible for the fall in foreign e:

e(J One of the main aims of the Ger- ?
mans in tiie east is a vast move behind
Warsaw, embracing Brest, Litovsk,
one of the strongest Russian
id. bases. Civilian residents of Warsaw
Ch say Petrograd dispatches already are

jie on the Polish capital predict Warsaw's
fall by the end of July.
Petrograd: The present aligment
of the tremendous forces engaged in
Galicia and southern Russia is roughiys
ly divisible into two seventy-Uve-mile
fronts, one running north from HaIV^

tod other east from the junction of the
