THE NEW WARFARE ON THE BRITISH FRONT

BAD DAY FOR THE GERMANS

NEW RUSSIAN BLOW

OVER 10,000 PRISONERS

DOGGED: ADVANCE BY THE ITALIANS

■The Germans have had. another bad day on the British front. Eight along the whole line British'trench raiding parties have entered the enemy's trenches and effectively pursued the business of' killing the greatest possible number of. Germans, in'the .shortest possible time,.and -with, the fewest possible casualties. Added to the successes of the raiders 'is the toll exacted by our>gas projectors and the g'unuers. The French have been busy also, and have brought off a coup-de-raain in' the Cham- • pagne region, while at the same time frustrating the enemy's further pro- • ; .gress.ou the Verdun sector. The Russian Galician army, under.-General Letchitsky, has ..dealt a fresh blow to the enemy near Kolomea, hurling a. tremendous attack on the Austrian line along a'front of 24 miles,'and capturing"over' 10,000 prisoners, and a large number of Maxims. In the". Trentino the'ltalians are doggedly pressing, their, counter-offensive, wrest- . ing Alpine. positions' from tha Austrians'in hard-fought encounters,; in . spite of:<their' increasing- resistance. Colonel'.Repington, "The Times's" ' military : critic, compliments th© Italians on the-success of their counter---attack, ljut regards the Austrian fron t'as a formidable factor to be reckon- '.
