German Fifth Army gains at Verdun through end of June.

It has been a relatively quite week, as fighting continues around the world. The Arab Revolt in Mecca has captured the Deputy Governor, who ordered the Turkish soldiers to surrender. They have refused, and a siege and stalemate as set in.

To the East, the offensive under Brusilov continues, with the recently-launched flank attack continuing, although a lack of concentration is resulting in limited gains by the Russians.

At Verdun, an offensive launched by the Germans June 22 has ground to a halt, as the salient thereby formed is vulnerable to artillery fire, and the German infantry are exhausted and under-supplied. The French, likewise, are exhausted from the fighting, and a lull has descended over the field today.
