Desperate German Drive Fails Near Rheims Amid French Counter
The German crown prince launches a major push northwest of Rheims and fails to break French lines as Allied defense holds.

Russia reportedly takes 800 officers and 18,000 men along with dozens of guns in early July actions. Violent artillery duels and patrols continue across Volhynia, Stokhod, Kontuchy Zlochoff, and the Galician border as Austrian attacks near Gorizia are checked by Italians.
