ANOTHER ADVANCE BY THE BRITISH

. GINCHY CAPTURED RUSSIAN PINCEKS IN GALICIA CLOSING IN ON THE AUSTRIANS THE BATTLES ON THE DANUBE PUZZLING SITUATION ON THE . RUMANIAN FRONT

Sir Douglas Haig's report in to-day's dispatches from the AVesti em front constitutes an inspiring record of British achievements In ( a week's hard fighting. Gains have been consolidated, fresh advances have been made, and the- whole of the village of Ginchy is now in the hands of the British. On the French front furious attempts by the Germans to recover some of their lost ground have been hurled back with, heavy loss to the enemy. Mr. Asquith and Lord Derby have returned from a visit to the Soinme front with most optimistic hopes for the future success of the Allies. On the Russian. European front the enemy in Galicia is being gradually edged towards a trap. Already the Russian pincers .arty closing in on Halicz, the capture of which will uncover the flank of the enemy's line on the Guila Lipa and the Lemberg lines. On the strength of a promißc by Yon Hindenburg of a striking victory in the near future, tho Kaiser ' has been able to presuade Count Tisza, Hungarian Premier, to adjourn his excited Parliament till September 28. The military situation in the Balkans, say the critics, is obscure, as is evidenced by tho conflicting nature of the reports regarding tho fighting on the. Rumanian Danubo frontier. Tho Bulgar-German communiques claim successes in the region of Turtakai and Silistria.
