While not as active as the British on the Somme front, the French have made more gains in the Verdun region. Fighting took place on both banks of the Meuse, the Germans attacking on the left and the French on the right bank. The German advance was frustrated, and the French succeeded in gaining entire possession of the village of Fleury. Counterattacks by the Germans failed to dislodge the French. Paris asserts.

On the eastern front, the Russians, desisting from their efforts in Galicia and the Carpathians for the moment, have struck a winning blow at the Germans in Volhynia. The Russians broke through the Aurtro-German lines on the Stokhod River, forty miles northeast of Kovel, and captured the village of Tobol.

The forces of General Boehm-Ermoll have thrown back Russian efforts in Northern Galicia, Berlin states, with such effect that the Russians have deserted in their attacks. Berlin claims advances for the combined Austrian and Turkish troops in the far-paths in the region of Capul, while Petrograd admits a retirement in the direction of Kirlibaba Pass.

Fighting is reported on the Austro-Italian front in Macedonia, in Mesopotamia and in Turkish Armenia, but nothing noteworthy has been accomplished. The Serbian and Bulgarian forces are fighting tenaciously on the Greco-Serbian frontier, north of Saloniki, and each side reports heavy losses for the other.

Austrian  Aroplanes have made another raid on Venice, in retaliation for the raid against Trieste, by the Italians. The Germans have made another air raid against Russian military establishments on Oesel Island off the Gulf of Riga; Austrian airmen have bombed Italian works at Avlona and a British squadron has raided German ammunition stations in Belgium.
