ZAMOSC IS TAKEN '
BY TEUTON. HOSTS
Great Polish Fortress Captured by
Anstro-Oermans as They Con
tinue Desperate Sweep.
CAUSES PESSIMISM IN BRITAIN
LONDON, July S. Th sadden
recurrence of heavy artillery tire by
the Germans at many points 10
France Is a marked feature of th
fighting on the western front, but
In the meantime the Austro-German
advance In Gallcia and In Poland is
unchecked and the Teutons have
shown no disposition to diminish, the
intensity of their eastern offensive.
The Polish fortress of Zamoso hu been
captured and progress In otner sectors
of strategio importance In ths east Is
claimed by Berlin. For weeks It has been
ths same story in this theater of war
an Austro-Oorman rush, a Russian re
treatand the end is not In sight.
Tarlc Cosnler Attack IlepoUed.
There has been during the week no
official news whatever iron trie rtusn
front in Flanders, but General BIr Ian
Hamilton, commanding the allied land
forces at the Dardanelles,' in his second
official dispatch of the week, records the
. repulse of a vicious counter attack by
the Turks, who were bent on recovering
the lost ground south of the fortified hill
of Achl liaba and the strong position at
Krlthla, which the British have for some
time been attempting to envelops.
The British forged a bit forward last
Monday and the following day the Turks,
after sapping and mining, launched a
counter stroke with the bayonet This
wm crushed, while the Frenoh foroes
operating on the right In Kerevea Bore
alley, -toward the east coast of OaUlpolt,
advanced and consolidated the ground
won the Utter part of June. The dis
tances are not stated.
Despite the hard fighting ever since the
landing on April 25, the Franco-British
expedition only lately has achieved any
thing notable toward strengthening its
hold on the tip of the Gatllpolt peninsula,
Achl Baba being a 'small Gibraltar,
bristling with machine guns, surrounded
by barbed ' wire and terraced' with
trenches. This is the resson why any
allied progress Is hailed with great satis
faction in England.
Praise for Tarks.
It Is interesting to note ths tributes to
the Turks' bravery and even gallantry
paid In almost every dispatch from the
BritlBh correspondents at the Dardanelles.
. At no time during the peninsula fighting
have the Turks been accused of atrocities.
The munitions measure giving David
Lloyd George, minister of munitions, wide
power to whip up the ammunitions sup
ply, passed the House of Lords today,
and will be a statute when the king af
fixes his signature. -
There are manifold Indications through
out the United Kingdom that the people
only now, after nearly a year, fully
. sense the seriousness of the war. Only
' a few months ago the boast was, "Busi
ness Is as usual." Theater patronage
was undiminished and the . restaurants
trade normal. The cabinet ministers are
now urging the necessity., of .the roost
rigid (economy by Individuals and school
children are being besought to Invest In
the war loan. ;
The Teutonic successes In Gallcia, the
slowness of the Dardanelles operations
and the failure of the allies to Inaugurate
the much-discussed offensive In the west
are responsible for this change in public
demeanor.

mealK. Their mlnd were clear and
bright, all bodily functions were stimu
lated, and It wii Impossible to have the
blues."
