In addition to this one enemy machine was shot down on the eastern edge of the Argonne and one was brought to earth to the east of Sennheim. “Eastern theater: Army of Field Marshal von Hindenburg: Strong en- emy patrols were prevented by our fire from crossing !flc Duna. Railway buildings on the Wilejka-Molodechno- Minsk line being used for the trans- port of troogs and also the railway stations of Pogorjelzy and Horody- shohy, on the front of the army group of Prince Leopold of Bavaria were successfully bombarded. In the eve- ning a Russian attack south of Skro- bowa broke down completely under our fire. “Army group of General von Lin- singen: The enemy attacks increased | in extent and intensity. With the ex- ception of certain regions on the Sto- bychwa front on the River Stokhod, northeast of Kovel they have been extended as far as to the west at Beresteck. They broke down with tremendous losses, mostly under our curtain of fire. Only at certain points of the entire front did it come to hand to hand fighting. “Everywhere the enemy had pene- trated he was ejected by our counter attacks or his advance was restricted. In the course of the night the with- drawal, which had been planned for a long time from the Stokhod curve, which projects toward the east and north of the Kovel-Rovno railway was carried through without interfer- ence from the enemy. “Army of Count von Bothmer: Again yesterday Russian attacks north and west of Buczacz met with no success.” General Haig Reports Further Advance of The English Armies London, July 31.—Further advances by the British was reported in the latest dispatch from General Haig, in command of the French front.

While no date has been set for the conference, several high officers of the de facto government forces have left the border within the last few days with the announced intention of proceeding to Mexico City to confer with General Carranza, and it is be- lieved in Neuvo Laredo that the ac- cession of Gonzales to the administra- tive power will not be delayed long.
