HAND-TO-HAND CONTESTS
JIAUK NiOHT ALONG SOMME;
BltrtlSH STIFFEN LINES
London. July 27.
Hand-to-hand encountcra with the Oer
mnna, with nn active nrtlllery poundlnp
continuing throURhout tlio night was re
ported today by Ocncral Sir ftotiglas llale
He said tl'o TeutotiH wero using quantities
of tear nhclls.
"N'o event of Importance" was reported
by the Ilrltlsh Commandor-ln-Chlef.
"Throughout tha night," he said, "Our
nrtlllery was nctlve. Wo continued to press
the enemy In liand-to-hand encounters nt
various points. llsowltcro tho enemy was
using gas nnd tcarproduclng shells. Thcro
wad no event of Importance."
Within tho next few days tho Ilrltlsh
ndVartdo lines must withstand Germany's
Inost powerful counter-attacks since tho
start of tho Allied offensive. Newly won
positions near Pozlercs, from which tho
Teutons wero forced out, will be the point
of nttack.
Thin wad tho opinion of military observers
hero today. They pointed out that tho
Germans have admittedly transferred largo
reserve forces to this Salient from Verdun.
Knowlcdgo of that fact mado tho British
ddecess reported yesterday by General
Halg nil the moro satisfactory, but It like
wlso gavo notice to military experts hero
tltnt tha derm.ins, feeling tho menace In
tho Ilrltlsh encircling movement from
Ponlered westward and eastward rom Hill
141, soUth of ThlepVal, would ntttVmpt Its
checking with eVory resotlrco of men hud
guns at their command,
Ih their' new positions nt Pozlercs, tho
British arc only n trifle over six miles from
Bapaume, tho Immediate objective ot their
drive. A't ono point at least they have
penetrnted the third line of the German
front. If they can press the Intervening
six miles to Babaume, a German retire
ment nlong n front of 15 or 20 miles Is al
most Inevitable. Prom Pozlercs on to
Bnpaume tho country Is fairly flat, with
nono of tho ridges which dot tho territory
just south of Thlepval, except ono knoll
knbwn ad Hill lfJO, None of tho official
statements shed nny. light on whether this
position, lying northwedt ot Pozlercs, Is
traversed by tho two strohg trenches which
Halg reported having been stormed and
capttlfcd
Feverish activity In throwing up entrench
ments and consolidating their gains will
bo necessary so that tho British enh suc
cessfully withstand the German counter
attacks, and until this digging tn Is accom
plished, It Is not expected that thcro will
be another forward drive on a largo scale.
FRENCH GAIN ON JlEUSE
AND SOUTH OF SOMME;
HALT FOE IN CHAM I'AGNE
PAItlS, July 27.
Progress for tho French on tho Soramo
front and also In the sector of Verdun was
reported by the War Office today.
The communique states that the Ger
mans attacked no.th of the Alsne and also
delivered a strong assault In Champagne,
but were repulsed 'In both places.
On tho Homme front the gain was south
of! the Somme.
At Verdun the French mnde an attack
with hand grenades west of Thlaumont,
which enabldd them to move forward their
positions.
There was a violent nrtlllery duel last
night all along ,the Verdun front, on both
sides ot the Meuse. J
The )ext of the official communique fol
lows: South of the Somme wo made some
progress east of Estrces. There was
a rather sharp rifle fire In the outskirts
of Soyecourt.
North of the Ajsne, the enemy, after
a violent bombardment, attacked yes
terday In the region of VllleauVbols.the
salient which forms our line nerthwest
of Bols Buttes. The attack was checked
by our machine gun fife.
In Champagne a bombardmermilrected
yesterday by the enemy against' our
positions west of Prosnes was followed
at 5 p. nt. by a violent attack on a
front ot 1200 yards. It was stopped
by our curtain of fire which Inflicted
heavy losses upon the enemy. He was
able td icnetrate Into some advanced
trenches east of our line, whence our
counter-attack drove him out shortly
afterward.
At Verdun the artillery duel again
took on a certain Intensity during the
night In the sector of Hill No. 304.
In. the region of Fleury and Laufeo we
made some progress with grenades
west of Thlaumont work.
SLAVS STRIKING AT BRODY .
FROM TWO" DIRECTIONS; TAKE
(5578 MORE PRISONERS
PETROGRAD. July 21.
The brilliant blow struck by General
SikharoW along the River Slonevka, north
of Brody. has Injected a new element pf
sUrprlsd Int6 the constantly changing situ
ation on the eastern front.
On other fronts the War Office today an
nounced advance? ini repulse of attacks.
At only one point waa a Russian attack
stopped, and this) was where a single com
pany of Russian troops, attacking the enemy
eoiith of Lake Voltchlno, encountered supe
rior forces an,d was driven back.
In the district of Lobuzy the battle 1$
confined tojiftrliiiery engagjmenti, the state,
ment asserted. A small enemy attack di,
rected against tlrochLstch and Bereznome
has been repulsed.
Along the Slonevka, the War Office state
ment said, flghU are proceeding for posses
slon of the crossings. The Russians ad
vanced tit soma points. Ifl a battle ou
Tuesday tha Russians took $7 prisoners,
5 guns and 22 machine guns.
The original attack against Brody, -arhie
followed the fall of Dubno fortress, catno
to a shntp halt before the swnntpd and
thick forestn, which offered a strong bar
rier to nny direct advance along tho IHitmo
'.einhcrg Ilnllroad, and, since the begin
ning of General IlrussllofTs drive, the Itus
slttn forces have been compelled to rest dn
tho Tlusslnn sldo of tho Gallclnn frontier
near Itatlzlvlloff.
When It beenmo evident that Ilrddy could
not be (,-tkcn from tho West, General Sak
haroff began a rapid extension of his front
southward from tho Lutslt region arid Is
how ntaltlftg it strong riank nttnek oil tho
Ilrody-Lcmberg lino from tho north. Tho
Blvcr Sbnoitta offered ft difficult obstacle
on this lino of ndvancc, but It has already
been mlccestftilly folded and the Husslan
forces III this group nro now scarcely tn
miles distant from Brody.
Thn Joint pressure of these forces nnd
those slntloned nt Kadzlvllo'r. now definitely
threatens the l'.rodyI.cmbcrg lino and Is
likely to bring" about tho retirement of tho
Austrlans from Brody In tho direction of
Lembcrtr.
Tho Austrian nnswer to the Busslan
attack has been renewed attempts to
advance In tho region 60 miles to tho
north, on tlio Vladlmlr-Volynskl road, with
the hope of withdrawing General Salt
haroft's troops northward nnd lessening
tho pressure on Brody. But It Is announced
that this nttempt to advance had been re
pulsed by the Russians without tho neces
sity of sending reinforcements from other
points.
Events nro still developing on tho ex
treme southern flank, whero tho Cossacks
nro engaging tho Austro-Gcrmnn rearguard
In tho Carpathian pnssos. At soveral points
tho Ilusslnns nro only ten or twelve, miles
from the Hungarian frontier.
Fighting has developed along tho Dvlna
Hlver front, whero Field Marshal von Illn
denburg Is meting desperate efforts to
check tho Itusslnn advance by means of
savage counterattacks.
Around tlio great railway town of Ba
ranovichi, farther to tho South, another
battle Is In progress. Fighting In Vol
hyntn Is being carried out under tremendods
difficulties, rainstorms having turned the
fields Into swampa.

All of Turkish Armenia Is now In pos

Only feeble "resistance Is being offerw
to tho victorious Russians as they co

The IlURslami that captured Erzlngan did

A son of chnsto New England, the author,
early heeded tho call to the ministry. As
sung by tho nppcallng tenor of Henry Burr,
this beautiful .hymn will prove an Inspira

Fresh from the Columbia laboratories, a
new record, "If Your Heart Keeps Right,"
one of tho avenues to salvation employed by
"Billy" Sdndny. Homer Rodohcavcr1, "Hilly"
Sunday's soloist, swaying the vast sen bf
eagerly listening humanity with the strength
of his voice nnd the spiritual power of tho
hymn, Is one of tho potent features of
"Billy" Butfday'B meetings.
Next to hearing Sunday preach there Id
no more thrilling experience than to hear
his soloist, Homer Rodcheavcr. The Co
lumbia Compnny have recorded Homer
Rodehenvcr's singing of "Brighten the Cor
ner Whero You Are," nnd when you hear
this simple but uplifting hymn yoU will
tltiderstnnd In a measure Why tho multi

Tho Voices of the Columbia St61lar QuaY
tct singing "Now the Day la Over" seem
Inspired Fading, fading to a murmur,
then returning with glorious crescendo In
"ns tho morning wnkcth." Such music Is
not described by words, longing, prayer,
lovo nnd pralso breathe from the harmo
nies. A truly big record, musically. Is "Fllhg
Wldo the Gates," from Stalrier's "Cruci
fixion," which has Just been sung by tho
Columbia Oratorio Chorus. Tho great com
mand, "Fling Wide tho Gates," which Is
first declaimed by the chtlro chorus, then
by the bass nnd rising through all the
voices to tho highest soprano, Is one of tho
Inspirational passages In modern rellgloud
music.
From tho Columbia also comes a note
worthy recording of that masterpiece of
oratorio music, "Tho HnllUjah Chords."
Tho Columbia Chorus gives an excellent

stupendous.
