Of the advances of the allies, that of the Russians upon Kovel from the east is the most striking. At the beginning of the offensive the Russian attack the railway from Roveno, and Austro- German regiments were brought up to meet this threat. The Russians sud- flenly showed greater activity along the Sarny-Kovel rallway and above lhat line, with the result that the Germans, according to Russian ac- counts, have been driven back in dis- prder to a point a little more than lwenty miles from Kovel. It is believed this sudden onslaught will compel the Germans to abandon the defense along the Stokhod river, s bevond that stream German stores have been set afire. Some English military writers are of the opinfon that Kovel itself may have to be giv- BNn up. Stanislaus Threatened. In Bukowina Gen. Letchibzy has s now within striking distance of Ftanislaus. In fact, with the exception bf a stretch between Tarnopol and Alexinetz, where Gen. Von BEothmer has withdrawn his line only a short distance, the whole Austro-German front of 250 miles from Pinsk to the Carpathians has been driven back with heavy losses in men and mater- Jal. Gen. Letchizky alone in the two weeks ended July 7 added upward of 80,000 prisoners and eighteen guns to the booty captured in the original érive. French occupation of Biaches, op- posite Peronme, is considered the most important gain of the fighting In the west of the last few days, as it with- drawal of the German forces from the remainder of the territory in the bend of the Somme southwest of that village. North of the Somme the British have made a slight further pdvance toward Combles. Yesterday witnessed another heavy bombard- ment along the Yser and before Ver- fun.

In this Jector 950 Germans were captured yesterday and last night. The Germans made attacks at five points simultaneously in the Vosges, but all their assaults were checked tompletely by the French machine Funs. The French attack in the Cham- pagne was made at a point west of Mesil. The French troops charged hree times. On the Somme front north of the river the night passed puietly. In the Verdun sector artil- lery fire continued at Chattancourt. British Continue Push. London, July 10.—PEritish troops have made a new advance northwest of Contalmaison in the fleld of their pffensive north of the Somme, it was pfficially announced this afternoon. Fhree additional guns and several hundred prisoners were captured. The British gain was scored by the rapture of a small wooded district. Berlin Reports Successes.

Owing to the fact that no company rosters were left here when the sol- diers left for the Mexican border and the adjutant general's office is unable to furnish them, New Britain relief committee is struggling against a real handicap in seeking to give aid to the dependents needing aid. Thus far a dozen have been benentted by the council’s order to provide temporary aid to the families of soldiers in Uncle Sam'’s service and to a great extent the trouble is due to the fact that the relief committee must await claims for assistance. All such claims’ are being investigated through proper channels and when proof is obtained that help is needed Deputy Comptrol- ler E. F. Hall draws an order and a check is sent to the families of the needy soldiers. Deputy Comptroller Hall declares that the committee is anxious to give all possible assistance, but finds that many are reluctant to call upon the city for assistance, when as a matter of fact the city is anxious to give it as a patriotic duty and in no sense as the distributor of alms. Buch cases as have been drawn to the committee’s attention in most instances have been through the medium of friends rather than the dependents themselves, many of who appear to be willing to suffer in silence rather than to draw upon the city’s bounty. This is a condition the relief com- mittee desires to remeay and to this end urges all needing to make appli- cation. If people are unwilling to do this their friends should see that they are not forced to suffer in conse- quence. However, until the relief committee is able to secure an au- thorized copy of the company rosters it can do little in the way of personal investigation. Before soldiers departed from Nian- tic, Mr. Hall made personal effort to secure these, but although he had promises from both of the local cap- tains the troops departed for the front and not even the state of Con- necticut knew who left. CONGRESS RESUMES Democratic Leaders See Chances Present\ Session of Continuing Until the Fall—Revenue Bill Up Today. ‘Washington, July 10.—Congress be- gan another week today with slender prospects of an early adjournment ahead. Four of the administrations most important legislative measures remain to be put through and demo- cratic leaders see chances of a ses- sion lasting into the fall. The bills keeping members of con- press here when many are anxious to get away to participate in the politi- cal campaign, are the army and navy appropriation bills, the shipping bill and the administration $197,000,000 revenue measure. The revenue bill will be passed by the house later to- day. The army and navy bills, in- creased by millions by senate commit- tees, face stubborn opposition in con- ference. Republicans intend to fight the shipping bill with ‘a filibuster. The senate will take up the navy bill this week when the agricultural bill is out of the way. After passing the revenue bill the house probably will start work on the general dam bill.
