PARIS. July 2.
Crown Prince Frederick William Is con
tinuing his efforts to pierce the French
army In the Argonno region. With tho
finest of the Prussian troops heavily rein
forced, his army is maintaining Its at
tacks, all, of which havo been repulsed by
the French. ,
Tho communique Issued by tho war of
fice this afternoon characterizes the fight
ing of last night In the Argonno as "most
violent" In their attacks the Germans
used big bomb throwers and poisonous
cases. The attacks of last night, Uko
those of Wednesday night and Thursday,
were repulsed.
REPULSED BY EN.GLISH.
The Germans are counter-attacking
desperately along the whole front extend
ing from Arras north to Ypres, official
dispatches reported this afternoon.
The British positions around Ypres ore
being subjected to a terrific bombard
ment. Thousands of heavy explosive
shells have been hurled against the Eng
lish trenches In the last 24 hours. The
artillery attack at certain points north
west of Ypres is being followed by massed
Infantry attneks and attempts to storm
the English positions.
ThUs far, this afternoon's official com
munique reported, the enemy's attacks
havo been repulsed, the British stand
ing tholr ground with great gallnntry.
Advancing from La Bassee, Pruss an
troops attempted to storm the English
positions In the brickyards along the
Bothuno rpad. Their first charge car
ried them closo to the British works, but
they were thrown back In' .confusion' by
the Britons' gunfire Successive Attacks
failed to gain ground, tho first charge
having established a. high-water mark
for the-German assault.' ' ,,'1 r '
Other German forces, meanwhile, co
6perdted with the troops around Ypres
by attempting to rush the French along
the Angres-Ablaln road.. They were eas
ily repulsed and retired after a short
engagement last night.
GAS SHELLS FAIL.
The official communique this afternoon
again referred to the use of asphyxiating
gas by the Germans in the determined at
tack upon the French In .the Argonne.
Dispatches to 'tho War Office Bald nil
these onslaughts have met with only tem
" porary Buccess, the French counteract
ing and regaining the lost ground Im
mediately after the wind has carried the
gas away. '.
ANOTHER BLOW EXPECTED.
Another great blow by the German
armies In the west Is being prepared for
by the French. It Is expected either at
Ypres or In Alsace, though the operations
by the Crown Prince's army In trie Ar
gonne Indicates that point on the French
front may be the scene of the next great
Teutonic thrust.
The military expert of the Echo De
Paris declares that the object of the
Germans In closing the Swiss frontier
until July 12 Is to conceal the trans
portation of troops from the Russian o
the western front. This movement la
now in full swing.
French aviators have reported that
train after train bearing soldiers are
now being transported over the German
railways.

MEANING OF MOVES
IN TODAY'S WAR NEWS
The Germans have taken the of'
tensive in the West. Thisis clearly In
dicated in the continued assault t o the
Crown Prince' army in the Argonne
region and violent German attacks all
along the line from Arras to Ypres.
The large movement of German troops
from Galicia along the railways of
southern Germany is said by the
French to be preparatory to a glgantio
assault on the Verdun line of defenses.
Flushed with victory on the eastern
front the Germans apparently feet that
"now or never" is the time to strike a
more or less decisive blow to their
enemies in the West, The French and
English seem to be ready, however, and
have thus far repulsed all German at
tacks. Russian resistance to a diversion of
Mackensen's main army toward Cholm,
an important railway centre, dominat
ing the Ivangorod-Warsaw system, in
dicates a sudden and sensational coup
in the Warsaw drive. Recent dispatches
from Austrian headquarters announced
that Ivangorod was the next goal of
the Austro-Oerman forces. The cur
rent dispatch from Petrograd sheds
further light on the Austro-Gcrman
campaign.
Sweeping advance of the Austro
Germans in the South Poland invasion
between the Rug and Vistula Rivers
under Maekensen and progress in Hn
singen's violent offensive along the
Dniester and Gnila Ltpa Rivers in
Southeast Galicia are causing conster
nation in Petrograd and London.
Menace on IParsnto grows hourly,
as the Germans are only 100 miles
from the great covering fortress at
Srest-Litovsk in one sector and are
moving rapidly toward the Ivangorod
stronghold-base in another.
Soma Slav strategists deem thojorce
of the Galician offensive of the foe is
spent and look for a turning movement
directed at tho Germans between the
Bug and Vieprs rivers.
The desperate attacks and terrific
losses of the Austrians along the Isomo
front reveal the fact that Vienna is
putting forth its uttermost efforts to
check the Italian advance. The way
to Trieste is clear, but the Italians
cannot take advantage of this opening
until they have forced the retirement
of the Austrians from their strong po
sitions around Gorizia, where the
heaviest fighting is now going on.
