GREAT FIERCENESS OF FIGHTING ON THE SOMME.
GERMAN DESCRIPTION OF ALLIED CHARGES. "VAST AND CONTINUOUS MASSES OF TROOPS." Australian and N.Z. Cable. (Received 11 p.m.) NEW YORK. July 14. Dr. Max Osborn, in a special cablegram to the New York Times from Berlin, says :— The fierceness and bitterness of the fighting 011 tho Somme is increasing, and has a counterpart only in the horrors of Verdun. This time we cannot reproach Britain on the ground that she is holding back men. They are driving forward vast and continuous masses of troops with ever fresh waves. The French to the south of the Somme are attempting an almost continuous chain of 'drives,' but the enemy has found our infantry not to be shaken. The allies' charges are still made with great power and tenacity.
