GERMANS DRIVE N
BACK AT HAIL
Attempts to Hetake Village Captur
ed by Australians Easily Stcp
ed; Big Guns Eusy.
The British front east of Ameins,
on each side of the Avre and along
the Somme river, seems to be the
storm center of the battle front in
France. Australians, assisted by the
American detachments, on July 4,
drove the Germans out of Hame? and
the Vaire and Hamel woods, to the
south at the same time launching a
secondary attack on the German po
sitions north of Somme. Since that
time the lines before Ameins have
been very active.
The German have been repul-ed in
an attempt to retake the village of
Hamel and the wooded positions
further south. The British official
report says the enemy was stopped
easily but the Germans claim to have
checked the British forces east of
Hamel and to have thrown them back
to the original lines at Villers Bret
toneux. American Front Claim.
With the exception of aerial com
bats, the American front has been
calm.
The German official statement tells
of British attacks in the Ypres region
adding that they were repulsed.
Heavy artillery fire in this neighbor
hood is reported from London.
The French have been content to
hold and consolidate their new posi
tions near Moulin Sous-Touvent and
Autreches, northwest of Soissons,
where in two recent French attacks
the Germans suffered severe casual
ties. The French war office says
during the past day there has been
heavy artillery firing near Cutry and
Montgobert southwest of Soissons.
Italian Lines Extended.
Italian forces operating near the
mouth of the Piave. have continued
to make progress, taking more than
400 prisoners, as well as a battery of
cannon and many machine guns. In
the mountain region the Italians
have extended their lines northeast
of Monte Grappa and have repulsed
desperate counter attacks by the
Austrians against positions taken
from the enemy in the Italian drives
a week ago.

Finland Menaces Allies.
Stockholm reports that Finland is
expected to declare war on the en
tente allies. This probably the result
of German pressure incident to the
landing of allied forces at Kola, on,
the Murraan coast. It has been re
ported that German and Finnish
troops are. pushing northward toward
the port of Kola to seize vast stores
transported there before Russia's col
lapse as a factor in the war.
Two rumors of internal dissention
have been current. One is to the
effect that the dea-th of Mohammed
V., Sultan of Turkey, was not due to
natural causes, but the result of a
revolt in the country. The other
comes from South Africa, where it is
reported considerable unrest exists
and where strong measures are being
taken to cope with the situation.
