GALLANTRY OF ARMORED CARS. London, July 17. The Petrograd correspondent of the Morning Post states that the Russians warmly iraise the gallantry of the British armored car detachment in the recent offensive. The detachment moved in the early inoi:iing ahead of the cavalry scouts and found sandbags artfully scattered along the roadß. Volunteers in face of almost certain death, crawled out and dragged the bags away. The carj advanced and opened fire, but subsequently intense concentrated artillery tiro compelled them to retire. A German counter-attack was expected the following day, tut the cars proceeded right up to the enemy's positions, .with the result that the counterattack was not attempted.

The desperate courage displayed by the car crews has established a strong Anglo-Russian brotherhood. THE ECONOMIC PROBLEM. London, July 17.
