THE RUSSIAN FRONT.

[Russian Stili Retreating: Troops Still Unstable.

London, July

A wireless Russian official message states: There has besi intense artillery activity suth-westwards of Dvinsk. The enemy continues the attack westward of Tamopel and our troops continue, to retreat beyond the Sereth. The enemy occupied Zagorbelia which is a suburb of Taroopol, despite our superiority in numbers. The retreat is almost uninter- rupted owing to the instability of our troops, the disregard of orders and the propaganda of the Maximalists. The enemy compelled us to evacuate Babino and to retire to the right bank of the Lomnitza.

LATEST NEWS OF THE AIR RAID.

London, July 23

Telegrams from correspondents in Kent and Essex show that the attempt to raid London was on an equal scale to that of July 7. Bombs were dropped on Felixstowe and Harwich but little damage was done, except the smashing of glass. The raiders apparently had a very rough time, as isolated stragglers were seen scurrying homewards. Observers on the coast are loud in their praise of the British aeroplanes, which emerged seemingly, from nowhere to ascend most rapidly to a height of ten thousand feet where they remained for hours patrolling the air. The GermanS again have had luck in being able to hide themselves in -the clouds.
