GERMANS PRESS ITALY.
R-doubie Efforts To Gnin >id-Ger-
man Socialists Try Hand.


ROME September 3.
Germany is continuing her persua-
sions TO endeavor to induce Italy to
support Germany and Austria,
II cannot be learned whether or not
these efforts have met with any sue
cess. There are reports, however, that
Italy IS contemplating some military
coup.
II Is again asserted that Italy is con-
centrating troops on the Austrian from
tier, but this report cannot be con-
firmed. Two prominent German So
ciaists, including Deputy Suedekum,
came here TO persuade their Italian
comrades that they were right in sup
porting Germany in the present war
According to the newspapers. the
Italian Socialist leaders told Herr
Suedekum and his colleague that Ger
man hegemony would be greater
danger than Czarism and that it was
impossible for Germans to talk civiliza-
ton after the destruction of Louvain.
The Italian Socialists expressed the
hope that the war could lead to the
triumph Of democracy.

LONDON, september 3
The DdiB Chronicles correspondent
IN despatch from some unnamed
place in the Department Of the Somme.
OF which AmienS is the capital. written
on September | dwells upon the appal-
ing German losses.
"a few moro such days as Sunday
and Monday he says. "and the fourth
German army invading northern France
will have destroyed itself completely.
No army that ever existed could endure
and survive the terrible losses slis-
tained by the Germans In the last few
days. Whole divisions OF infantry have
been blotted out of existence by the
deadly fire OF the British.
The enemy still clings to its forma-
ton of attacking on masse. II is little
wonder If Generalization is beginning to
appear In the shattered German ranks
The infantry has lost its elan 1t no

home its attack The fearful punish

assaulting columns coming into the
zone of British infantry fire speedily
manifested signs Of unsteadiness. They
were seen TO waver and more than once
broke and fled in confusion in spite Of
the attempts of their officers TO rally
them. AS result OF this prolonged
battle the Germans cannot be said TO
have gained any marked decisive ad-
vantage over the British army, which
has offered heroic and stubborn re-
sistance. The German right has been
able 10 advance a few miles further
south That is about all
THE Germans undoubtedly are at an
unsafe distance from their base. They
have been unable to avail themselves Of
the Belgian railways and there is an
insufficieucy OF animal and motor trans
portation. Every days delay of their
forward movement serves to diminish
the German chances of ultimate sue
cess and to render more precarious the
position Of the invaders. They cannot
attempt to retire without the risk Of
an irretrievablc disaster. Therefore
they are almost certain to resume the
offensive and seek to crush the allies

quently awaits them under the walls
