LONDON, July 1. Tho supremo offensive of tho Allies began nt 7:30
o'clock this morning with one o?tho greatest Anglo-French gains on the -western
front since tho German retreat from tho gates of Paris.
Two hours after British troops drove forward they had captured 16 miles
of German forward trenches north of tho Sommc, tho War Office announced in
a brief bulletin. ,
French troops on the British right struck at the same hour. Tho British
War Office announced that tho French mado "equally satisfactory" gains,
leaving to General Joffro the honor of announcing tho full extent of the French
successes.
Tho British attack was made on a 20-milo front north of tho Sommc after
one of tho most terrific four-day bombardments tho world has ever known.
With German advanced trenches firmly held, tho British pressed forward to
tho attack at 9:8a ojclock. Tho latest dispatches to tho War Office said tho
battle was proceeding with tho utmost violence on both the British and French
fronts. ,
Many prisoners have been taken, but it is impossible at this hour to obtain
,any estimates on the number captured or the losses. Fragmentary dispatches
from tho front report Allied casualties have been light.
On tho remainder of tho British front raiding parties continuo to hnrrnss
tho Germans, penetrating enemy defenses at many points, inflicting losses nnd
taking prisoners..,
Tho War Office nt 2:30 o'clock this afternoon issued a statement warning
that in the interests of public safety thcro should be no traveling on tho
Continent except for the most serious reasons. All persons intending to leave
for the Continent were warned that they would undergo the strictest examina
ion under the passport regulations and close search of their persons nnd
baggage.
The combined British and French drive began a few hours' nfter the Ger
mans launched the most powerful onslaughts against Verdun in many weeks.
The Crown Prince hurled his legions against the French works east and west
of the Meuse. The French Wnr Office announced that on every sector.jthe
Germans were repulsed with appalling losses, except on tho northeastern front,
where the French were again driven out of Thlamount work.
The Galician railroad centre of Kolomea, tho strategical value of which was
cran'jjasizcd in recent dispatches, is in tho hands of tho Russians, according to an
omcial announcement triads "last night at PotrogrdTd." Tho fqllbf Kolomea isby
far tho heaviest bToV dealt to tho Austro-Gorman armies bj? General (Brusiloff
nfter the captute"of the Volhynia fortified triangle and of Czernowitz, as it onens
the way to nn attack on Lomberg andwhat is of more immediate import, ren
ders untenable tho AustrpGdfenan lino of defense along the Stripa Kiver.
Asido from the factnSurothe Austrian southern wing, which had to give
way to the rapid and powerful onslaught of the Russian left wing in Bukowina,
must cither cross tho Carpathians into Hungary or cross the Rumanian frontier
and be interned, the more immediate result of the fall of Kolomea will be tho
probable readjustment of the Austro-German line which passes through Tarno
pol, thus giving the Russians tho chanco to maneuver west of the Dniester and
seriously endanger tho Teuton army defending the approaches to Lemberg
from the east
The Italians are pushing their offensive in tho Trentino region and have
reached tho Austrian main line of defense. While their attacks do not yet war
rant the belief that the big' offensive on tho east Italian front has really begun,
they continue from the Gorizia bridgehead to the Monf alcone sector.
