'FRENGH REGAPTURE PART OF THIAUNONT }Airmen Busy Dropping Bombs on German Ships Of Belgium Paris, June 27, 12:30 p. m.—The French have recaptured another sec- tion of the trenches at Thiaumont in the Verdun sector, according to an official statement issued by the war office today. The struggle for the possession of the village of Fleury is still progressing. Allied aeroplanes dropped sixty-five shells on German ships near the Belgian coast, The statement follows: “On the left bank of the Meuse a night attack with grenades against one of our trenches west of Hill 304 was repulsed easily. “On the right bank local operations during the night enabled us to mnake | further progress in the region of Thiaumont werk. The fighting was rather spirited in the region of Fleury, where .the situation is un- | changed. On the heights of the Meuse a grenade attack against our positions near Mouilly broke down under our fire. “In Belgium three of our aero- planes which were engaged in .a reconnaissance, fired sixty-five bombs on German ships near the Belgian coast.” Allies Using Gas. Berlin, June 27, Via, London, 4:50 p. m.—Marked activity continues in evidence along the Franco-Belgian front held by the British and the northern wing of the French line. Numerous gas clouds are being em- played by the entente forces in the operations, the war office annouhoced today. The artillery fire on the Ger- man lines was especially intense in the vicinity of the Somme, Russian Positions Stormed. Berlin, June 27, Via London, 4:55 p. m.—Russian positions southwest of Sokul, in Volhynia, have been stormed by General Von Linsingen’s troops and held against counter at- tack, according to an announcement of the war office today. Several hun- dred Russians were taken prisoner. Russians Repulsed. Constantinople, Monday, June 286, via Loadon, June 27, 1:55 p. m.—The following announcement was made today at army headquarters: “In Persia Russian troops of all arms, under protection of their for- tified positions, made an attack on June 26 against our forces east of Servil. The engagement lasted until evening. The Russians finally with- drew without accomplishing their purpose, having suffered considerable losses. “A Russian detachment which at- tempted to outflank our troops in this sector was compelled by a counter at- tack to return to its position.” “Caucasian front: On the Ieft wing, north of the Tchoruk, we are consolidating positions which we eap- tured from the Russians. At other points our troops are pursuing the enemy, who is fleeing from this front toward the coast. TURKS HASTENING TO SUPPRESS ARABS Accounts From East Show Uprising ‘Wad Result of Carefully Pre- pared Plan. London, June 27.—Accounts of the uprising against the Turks in Araba show that the operations which re- sulted in the capture of the principal seaports and other cities by the rebels apparently were carefully concelved and systematioally carried out. It appears from news recelved in Cairo, says Reuter’s correspondent in that city, that the Grand Sherif of | Mecca raised three armies, the com- mands of which he gave to his three eldest sons. The first of these, under Sherif Forisae, 1s besieging Medina, the city containing the tomb of Mo- hammed; the second, under Sherif ! Abdulla, occupied Taif, 65 miles southeast of Mecca, making prisoners of most of the garrison, while the third captured Jiddah, the chlef sea- port of Arabia, imprisomng its de- fenders. While besieging Jiddah the Arabian forces warned the garrison not to destroy its arms and ammuni- tion, and consequently a battery of | field guns, numerous rifles and quick- firers, and a great quantity of ammu- nition were captured. Apparently says the dispatch, the Grand Sherif and his followers de- cided to suppress all traces of the Turks in their country, cutting the | telegraph lines, tearing up the road- bed of the Hijaz railway, and destroy- ing the statlons for nearly one hun- dred miles to the north in order to prevent the Turks from sending rein- forcements, It is related, adds the correspond- ent, that when Enver Pasha visited Hijaz five months ago the Grand Sherif told him he was an jgnorant vouth who had dragged Turkey to her destruction. The news from Syria shows that the over the Hijas railway. The fight at Medina is likely to be protractéd, as the garrison is fairly strong and well equipped. The Turkish military authorities, the dispatch adds, are taking the af- fair in the most serious faghion. Tn Teypt the news from Mecca has aroused more attentlon than any other event in the war.

ON T0 LEMBERG, CRY OF RUSSIANS Kolomea, the Key, Receiving At- tention of Czar’s Soldiers Petrograd, June 27.—With the elimination of General Planzer's army in Bukowina, the attention of General | Brusiloff's forces in this section is now directed upon Kolomea, key | to the defense of Lemberg on the south. The occupation of Kimpoluag and Kuty has opened the way 1o Kolo- | mea, and already a result of this last recorded victory of the Russians is | becoming evident in the forward | movement of General Lechitzky on the road from Sniatyn to Kolomea to a point ten miles from the latter town. Tt fs evident from the report of prisoners and booty taken that the Austrians defended Kimpolung with considerable forces. They were at- tacked by Russian troops which had covered the thirty miles from Gura- humora In two days and were rushed into the fight with scarcely an hour’s | rest. According to Russian military authorities, thelr assault added the last touch needed to complete the demoralization of General Pflanzer's forces, which now are entirely ut oft from communication with General Count von Bothmer’s army group on the Stripa river to the north, Bothmer’s Position Perilous, General von Bothmer’s position is regarded as precarious as a resalt of this operation. His right flank has been completely uncovered, and mili- tary critics believe he will without doubt he forced to fall back along his whole line. The Teutonic forces appear to have been able to stop to some extent the breaching of their front in the Kovel region, where a large element of Ger- man troops has stiffened the Austrian lines, and it is evident that prepara- tions are being made for a desperate stand at Brody, on the southern wing of that position. Nevertheless, in the face of stiff counterattacks, the Rus- sians have been able to push a wedge in the direction of Vladimir-Volynski to a point which threatens that town and endangers Brody, the gateway to Lemberg from the east. According to the military expert of the Bourse Gazette, the Germans have taken full charge in this region and have filled up the ranks of Archduke Ferdinand's broken army, which alone has lost 70,000 men since the beginning of the Russian advance.
