BRITISH ACHIEVEMENTS ON THE SOMME

ENEMY BEATEN ON HIS CHOSEN GROW

THE RUMANIAN CRISIS

FAVOURABLE REPORT FROM

THE DOBRUJA

I SUCCESSFUL ATTACKS BY THE ITALIANS

The cablegrams from the various theatres of the war to-day: are for soiuo reason or other very Tjrief. At the time of writing there is no lata news from the Rumanian front, and the only messages received so far indicate a. stubborn resistance on the Rumanian 'northern front, and a .n excellent situation in the Dobruja, where the German lines have been, withdrawn.. Tho news from tlhe Western front is most cheering. The capture by the British of the two German strongholds—the Schwaben emd Stuff Redoubts —was a lieroie achievement, and the enemy's counter-attacks to regain a footing there proved! ti most costly business to tJiem. The French have penetrated the village of Sailly-Saillisel, and advanced as far as tho Bapaume road. Threo months of stsrn fighting on the Soinme have brought the British line to the goal of their endeavours. The enemy has been beaten on his own carefully solected, and, to him, most advantageous ground, and nowhere else in rear can lie choose so favourable a line as that which has just been wrested from him. As the official statement by the Press Bureau puts it, the worst of the task came first, and is now over. Stubborn fighting is reported from the Galician theatre, while on tho Austro-Italian front our allies aro delivering sledge-hammer blows on tho enemy's line in the Carso. The news from the Allies' front in the Southern Balkans is scanty, and discloses no major developments.
