Field Guns.
A despatch from London says: The
Germans on Friday delivered numer-
ous counter-attacks in strength along
a great part of the front north of the
Somme. Their artillery fire also is
becoming heavier, new supplies: of am-
munition having been brought up. De-
spite their strenuous efforts, however,
the British and French lines are un-
changed, except for some local ad-
vahces made by the French in the
Morval sector. Here Foch's troops
have pressed further to the eastward,
in the region of the Peronne-Bapaume
highroad,
The report from General Haig's
headquarters contains an interesting
statement of the number of artillery
pieces and machine guns captured
from the Germans during the pro-
gress of the Franco -British offensive.
It says: "Between July 1st and Sept.
3rd, besides large quantities of other
war material, we captured or recov-
ered from the Somme battlefield 29
heavy guns and heavy howitzers, 92
field guns and field howitzers, 103
trench artillery pieces and 397 ma-
chine guns."
The allies' position is everywhere
excellent, the line having been
straightened out- after the capture of
Combles and Thiepval, and, contrary
to German reports, has been extended,
not shortened.
A despatch from Paris• says: The
Paris Journal publishes, a table of the

allies on the four principal- 'fronts
from July 1 to Sept: -1.8. The cap-
tures of the Roumanian army and the

lie down and seem too weak and ner-

NUMEROUS GAINS BY RUSSIANS
IN VOLHYNIA AND GALICIA
The German. Emperor Has Left for the Scene of the Principal
Muscovite Attacks.
A despatch from London says: The
Russians scored successes at numer-
ous points along a line extending
from the district west of Lutsk in
Volh.ynia to the Dniester in Galicia.
The Russian offensive,. which halted
temporarily while fresh supplies were
being brought up to the front, is
again nn full swing on the entire
southern portion of the front.. Tre-
mendous efforts are being made by
the Czar's forces, according. to de-
spatches from correspondents at the
front. The Austro -German resistance
apparently is stiffer than during the
early stages of the drive, however,
the defence of Lemberg and along the
Volhynia lines being especially de-
termined.
It is officially announced'that Em-
peror William has left for the eastern
front to visit the troops of Gen. von
Linsmgen, against whom the princip-
al Russian attack is being directed.
