Fix this textround Bouchez but no infantry engagement.
Fix this textAt the Eastern boundary of the Argonne the
Fix this textenemy succeeded in retaking a trench which
Fix this textformed a salient in front of our line. Between

Fix this textviolent bombardment at Tete de Vache, in the
Fix this textforest of Apremont and in Bois le Pretre.

Fix this textthat the dangers of the present situation impell-
Fix this texted him to resume the leadership of the party.
Fix this textIn the House of Commons Mr. McKenna
Fix this textstated that the total subscriptions to the War
Fix this textLoan were now nearly £600,000,000. The papers
Fix this texthad mentioned£800,000,000,but such a total was
Fix this textneither expected nor desired by the Government.
Fix this text550,000 subscribers had contributed £570,000,
Fix this text000 through the Bank of England, and 547,000
Fix this textpersons had subscribed £15,000,000 through the
Fix this textPost Office. The Chancellor of the Exchecquer
Fix this textemphasised the fact that the £600,000,000
Fix this textrepresented new money alone, without conver-
Fix this textsions. The results were most remarkable as the
Fix this textsubscriptions consisted almost exclusively of
Fix this textmoney immediately available, for at the mom-
Fix this textent people were unable to sell securities. It was
Fix this textan exhibition of the unrivalled financial resour-
Fix this textces of the Empire, and a demonstration to our
Fix this textAllies and to our enemies that Great Britain
Fix this texthad proved faithful to her trust. (Reuter).

Fix this textTo the inhabitants the meaning of a German
Fix this textoccupation of their country, even in its mildest
Fix this textform, is illustrated by what is going on in Bel-
Fix this textgium and France. In some places the Germans
Fix this texthave articles required by troops manufactured
Fix this textin local factories by the simple method of
Fix this textarresting managers refusing to undertake such
Fix this textwork. In one case where employees struck, as
Fix this texta reply to the incarceration of their officials,
Fix this textworkmen to the number of some hundreds were
Fix this textthemselves sentenced to a term of imprison-
Fix this textment only to terminate when they signed a doc-
Fix this textument that the return to work was voluntary.
Fix this textIn other cases workmen have been shut up in
Fix this textfactories and kept without food till they con-
Fix this texttinued working. In one factory a notice was
Fix this textposted that any proprietor of a factory that
Fix this textcloses down will be fined 1,000 marks a day dur-
Fix this texting stoppage of work. (“ Egyptian Gazette ”).
Fix this textNews from Capetown says that Botha’s total
Fix this textlosses throughout the SouthWest African cam-
Fix this textpaign amount to 180 dead and 820 wounded.
Fix this textThe financial cost of the campaign is about £15,
Fix this text000,000. (Reuter).
Fix this textLondon, July 15.
Fix this textReuter is informed that Roumania continues
Fix this textsuccessfully and energetically to prevent arms
Fix this textfrom Germany and Austria reaching Turkey.
Fix this textBesides stopping doubfe-partitioned wagons,
Fix this textRoumanian officials lately confiscated a consign-
Fix this textment labelled Munich beer. The Germans had
Fix this textspecially telegraphed to various stations to
Fix this textplace ice blocks on the trucks to keep the beer
Fix this textin good condition. Curious officials, however,
Fix this textdiscovered that the barrels contained ammuni-
Fix this texttion and an examination of large cement blocks
Fix this textdisclosed the fact they were filled with shell
Fix this textcases.
Fix this textThe “ Frankfurter Zeitung ” attacks Rou-
Fix this textmania for prohibiting the transit of arms and
Fix this textmunitions to Turkey. It accuses the Govern-
Fix this textment of the country of self seeking, unwisdom
Fix this textand ingratitude, and concludes with a veiled
Fix this textthreat that the paramount interests of the
Fix this textCentral Powers may override those of Rou-
Fix this textmania. (Reuter).
Fix this textReuter’s special correspondent with British
Fix this textHeadquarters in France says that the news of
Fix this textthe arrival of new formations had been kept
Fix this textvery secret. There had been rumours of the
Fix this textarrival of certain divisions, but none was aware
Fix this textof their actual presence until one chanced to
Fix this textsee them on the road, or to meet them in the
Fix this texttrenches. Their sturdiness and discipline have
Fix this textfavourably impressed veterans, who have been
Fix this textvery keenly interested in the formation and
Fix this texttraining of the new army. The newcomers
Fix this textwere placed in the trenches for short spells,
Fix this textfirstly in sections, then gradually in whole bat-
Fix this texttalions. They stood their baptism of fire
Fix this textaccording to expectation, while one unit exposed
Fix this textto heavy fire showed splendid courage and
Fix this texttenacity. Gunners highly approve the batteries
Fix this textof the new army. The moral effect of the new
Fix this textdivisions is undoubtedly great, inspiring those
Fix this textin the trenches with confidence and proving
Fix this textthat the country is fully supporting the firing
Fix this textline.
Fix this textA telegram from Melbourne states that Mr.
Fix this textFisher, the Premier, is arranging for the re-
Fix this textinternment of the body of the late General
Fix this textBiidges in the Federal capital.
Fix this textReuter has leceived information of the
Fix this textremarkable exploit of some Indian troops. One
Fix this texthundred Pathan infantry under a native officer
Fix this textwere captured by the Germans in Flanders and
Fix this textsent to Constantinople in hope that they would
Fix this textjoin the Turks. They somehow managed to
Fix this textescape and after a march of four months reach-
Fix this texted Cabul safely where they were well received.
Fix this textAfter resting they will rejoin their regiment in
Fix this textIndia.
