Australian and N.Z. Cable. (Received 7 p.m.)
LONDON". July 15.
The War Office announces that since July J, owing to the success of the British bombardment, the proportion of slight wounds, as compared to serious wounds, is very high. This proves that the enemy's artillery has been successfully dealt with.
The British troops are at last convinced that they have, the mastery of the Germans, and they advance to each assault with greater dash and courage.
To-day's British casualty list contains the names of 417 officers of whom 104 are dead.
