Western front tell -us very little to-day in the way of actual developments, we are "semi- ■ officially'V-assured that a stern tattle is in progress on tho AngloFrench line on the Somme, and that our gains during the fighting of ; ' the last' few days amount to a. 'Jerman reverse.' There are some further vivid pictures of grim incidents on Loth the Anglo-French ind the Rus- . sian. battle-fronts.. A fearful struggle has been raging for the possession • of Fort,Souville,'in the Verdun scctor, where the German Crown Prince is onco more hurling masses of men to-their doom. On the Russian front there are no new developments. -The Germans have, rushed up seven army ■ corps-to reinforce their sorely stricken lino before Kovel, whero a desperate resistance is' in progress.- Mr. Lloyd George, British' Secretary of ' Stato for- .War, and-Mr. .Asquith,' tho Prime Minister,' contribute, a note of attention to the munitions supply. Our'output is tremendous, but, they, point out, the expenditure is prodigious; hence the need .for con- ■'•. tinued effort in the war factories. :
