A GERMAN COMMUNIQUE.

"NO ADVANCE WORTH MENTIONING."

("The Times.")

London, July 2

A German communique reports: "A great Anglo - French offensive eorrmenced on a twenty-five mile front with strong artillery and gas preparation, but with no advantage worth mentioning, from' Gommeeourt to La Boiselle. They penetrated our first line in the region abutting on the Sornire, compelling the withdrawal of our division into pre-arranged positions. We lost front line material, which was inevitable. Other attacks were unsuccessful."
