Official dispatches record little change in the situation on the British front. They show that the Germans have brought up strong reinforcements from other parts of their line and are stubbornly contesting every yard ofjhe British' advance. Torrential rains on July 4, however, hampered - the - offensive-operatioand the British action was confined mostly to "consolidating the ground already won. The French have captured two more villages and are on good roda to Peronne. But there is yet no decrease in the violence of the German attacks in the Verdun region. Dispatches from German war correspondents indicate the realization that the central powers are losing the initiative, which their favorable positions on the interior lines enabled them to hold throughout the long course of the war. , Moreover, in commenting on the enormous resources in munitions and war material the entente allies have been able to pile up through the wearying months ol preparation, they equally recognize that a profound change has occurred in the relations of the belligerents.

An entirely new offensive has been opened against Prince .Leopolds Bavarian forces in the region of Baranovichi, where the Russians have pierced the German lines at two places; while the Italians are maintaining strong pressure along their entire front. The British newspapers consider that these events prove that the moment of the great squeeze has at last arrived and not since the war began have hopes ran so high. Nevertheless, almost every British correspondent on the western front warns against being over sanguine, and daily reiterates that the progress must necessarily be slow and methodical Up to July 4, the Anglo-Frenccaptures in the battle of the Somme totaled mere than 14,000 prisoners, twelve beavyguns" andtwentyight field guns.
