The first was a resumption of offensive fighting by the Russians in Lutzk sector, which, combined with Petrograd dispatches, detailing jthe vote in a secret session of the Duma, urging an immediate orsty |sive, gave hope here that Russia is making ready to “do her bit” the great conflict. The second is a Berlin statement, indicating the withdrawal by the British War Office of the Salonika expeditionary expedition from certain positions in the Struma lowlands. Certain members of the | British House of Commons have insisted for some time that the Brit- lish expeditionary force would be far more valuable in aiding Field | Marshal Haig on the French front than at Salonika. LONDON, June 18.—Tremendous German attacks on the newly won British positions east of Monchy Le Preux, has forced the British forces to fall back from certain advanced posts, Field Marshal Haig says in his official report. “After severe fighting we were compelled to fall back from cer- tain advanced posts in front of our main position, but we still hold In- fantry Hill,” says the report. : ort makes mention of considerable artillery fighting north and reports that the Germans are centering a heavy ar- British positions near Ypres. ul i BRETTGHERS MAY ED IW ENLIST FOR WAR HAGEL, TT Wig ncorporation of Deltox-Wyoming Order Received Today Authorizes Company Carries Heavy '>- Acceptance of Volunteers for vestment of Eastern C Canadian Expeditionary tal for the State Force in Europe The Wyoming oil indu British subjects, residents of the rec r additions but who desire to en- of ca fvo 1 1 Stzets, s which have heretofore had no (li ar duty under their own with the bus tla sourc connection whatever be accepted for service with ness. the Canadian expeditionary force thru There re-|the United States recruiting station cently the Deltox-Wyoming Oil Com-|eccording to orders received by the | pany, with an authorized capital of |Casper station this morning.
