a possible determined attempt to bend
nick the British flank on the Belgian
coast and reach the French city of
Dunkirk, seventeen miles distant.
The Germans succeeded in their in

through intense bombardment for 21
hours and then an attack last evening
over the devastated ground. Bridges
across the Yser were destroyed by
':eavy fire and the sending of rein
forcements was found impassible.

Enemy Submarine Hase Discovered.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 11.
Newspapers announce that a destroy
er has discovered an enemy su mar
ine base near Santas.
There has been no serious attempt
by the Germans to break through the
British front in Belgium since the
two campaigns f )i Calias in the ear
ly months of the war. The iirst was '
hoiked along the Belgian front by
the combined British and Belgium
defense, aided by the participation of
British warships on the coast. In the ,
MH-ond buttle at Vpres in the fall of j
1!)M the Geimans sacrificed thousands '
of men in a terrific drive but failed
to effect a penetration. !
Reports from London indicate that
a battle in Belgium is in prgress.
The sound of heavy filing wjs heard
in England all dav yesterday
again today, beginning at dawn.
In the sensational campaign which
the revolutionary army in Russia is
waging in Galicia, capturing Mali",
important though it is, is only an in
cidental feature. Given secure pos
session of it the Russians will have
the road to Ivembtrg well opened to
them and to continue the attack any
thing like ten days, on a like scale is
likely to result in th, fall of the Ga
lician capital at no distant date.
In the capture of Halicz 2,000 pris
oners and 30 guns were taken. The
Russian advice to the war office says
they are continuing the advance, pur
suing the retreating Germans and
Austrian forces.
On the French front in Northern
France an attack was made by the
desmans in the Woevre district near
iFliery. They were ejected from a
part of the trenches in which they had j
temporarily gained a footing. 1
Today's Russian official statement '
made it clear that the Russians be
side menacing Lemerg were also car
rying out a movement embodying the
serious threatening to tie Austro
German front running south to the
Carpathians to the Moldovian moun
tain region. The advance by the
Russian armies on the Bogir.lehan-
Zolotvin front represents a
into the Carpathian foothills.
