LONDON, July 18.—The Times I’et
rograd correspondent reports to liis
paper that advices received in I’etro
grad today state that th(‘ Germans
have commenced a general retreat
; long the major portion of the east
ern front. The correspondent asserts
that the Russian pressure has dually
become too great to bear and the Teu
tons are giving way at almost every
mint from the Dvina southward to
Lutsk.
As they retreat before the over
whelming Russian advance thej are
destroying everything in their path
and laying waste the country. Farms
and villages are being burned by tie
hundreds, roads and railroad tracka
are being torn up and destroyed and
everything of value is being .seized
and carried away.
The country is loft absolutely bar
ren in the wake of the retreating arm
ies and a wide stretch of territory is
Completely devastated. Although the
report is not an official statement of
the I'etrogrnd government, it is be
lieved to be correct.
The correspondent’s story is partial
ly substantiated by the German offi
cial report issued today which admits
th.it Von l.ingsingett’s army is falling
back on l.utsk in the face of an over
whelming Itussian attack which cov
ers a front of many miles.
The German statement also ac
knowledges that Ifindettberg is losing
henvily^fmm savage itussian attacks
along the Dvina. To all appearances
the tlermans are suffering severe dis
comfiture at all points.
Berlin Claims Riga Assaults Fail.
IIICliUN, July 18.—The war office
bulletin this evening is almost entireh
devoid of details of the fighting on
both fronts. It admits, however, that
the Russians have been pressing a
savage offensive against the Hinden
berg lines along the Dvinsk-Riga front
but claims that the weighty assaults
of the enemy have been checked with
huge losses. The statement also de
clares that the French and British
have both been severely repulsed along
the Somme front.
Vienna Admits Lutsk Defense Failing.^
V IHNNA, July 18.—The withdrawal I
of (ho .Austrian forces from the front
sections of the Volhynian lines at
Szclkin, southwest of l.utsk, is an
nounced in the official report of the
war office today. The headquarters
staff admits that the Austrian de
fense has been severely shaken in this
section owing to the overwhelming
forces thrown into the field by the
enemy. The Austrians are now with
drawing to newly prepared positions
in the rear of the present lines where
a stand will lie made with the aid of
reinforcements. The . situation along
the Bukowina border is admittedly
grave although it is not believed thnS^
the Russians will lie able to penetrate
through the heavily guarded passes in
sufficient numbers to seriously' men
ace Hungarian territory.

BttNlxiN, July IS. Official reports
from I In commander of the British

British forces have again made sub
stantial advances in the (Billers sec

The advance credited to tin forces
is one thousand yards and the pene
tration of tin- third line of German
defenses at that point.
The fighting has been fierce and
bloody with the Germans striving with
desperate heroism to stop the tide set
ting in with such tremendous mo
mentum. The British are now
strengthening the captured position
preparatory to an effort to straighten
their lines before a renewal of tin*
general forward movement. The con
tinual successes of (he army is caus

It is generally felt that the day has
turned for the allies at last and the
complete conquest of the Teutons is
now only a matter of a few months.

PARIS, July IX. After terrific light
ing covering a portion of the. night
anil the early hours of today the Ger
mans have succeeded in forcing the
Ercnch from their positions over a
short front in the lunches section. The
war ottlce reports admit that the Ger
mans have penetrated the French po
sitions for a short distance each side
id' the village. Reports from other
sections indicate mat the Germans
are still carring on intense counter at
tacks Relow the Somme lull without
success.
The lighting on the Verdun sector
continues with little intermission. The
German efforts to recapture'the Thiau
mont works have signally failed al
though the Teutons gained some
ground to the westward in yesterday's
lighting. The German assaults are less
frequent, however, and also carry less
weight hut the artillery attacks are
in no degree diminished.
