GREAT BATTLE IS
NEAR FINAL STAGE
Italian Artillery Has Practical
ly Destroyed Austrian
City of GOriza.

ROME. Aug. 9.-The Austrian city
of Gorilla, against the defences of
which the Italian army of invasion
has been pounding for many weeks.
has been practically destroyed by the
shells OF King Victor EmmanueTs ar
tillery.
According to all the indications the
great battle which has been raging
for possession of Gorilla is rapidly
drawing into its final stage.
Dispatches from the front today
stated that the Austrians defence was
growing more feeble and that the ef-
nclent fire of the Italian artillery men
was preventing ammunition and sup
plies from being taken into the fort
ress.
Buildings in all parts of the city
have been battered into ruins. The
streets are fun of debris. The ten
thousand persons in the city-left out
of a population OF 4O,000-are living
in cellars and dugOuts.
The remaining forts and redoubts
are being smashed by the steady fire
from the Italian mortars.
The civic and religious authorities
have fed from the city. L.aWlessness
is rampant. Mobs attacked the resi-
dences of the wealthy and also the
municipal store houses and markets
in a fight for bread, but none was to
be had. Meat is unobtainable. The
roads leading into the city from the
east are under the fire of the Italian
guns and supplies cannot be taken
into the beleagured stronghold from
that quarter.
Much damage has also been done
to RoveretO. in the Adige valley.
Trentino, by the Italian artillery.
In the TyrOlean and Carinthian ar
tillery duelS continue. Southwest of
Pejo, a mountain village famous for
it's sulphur baths in Tyrol there has
been severe infantry fighting.

is over.

Diplomacy as a Safety Valve.

Here is a splendid chance TO test out the ac-
curacy OF the oft quoted and generally mis-
quoted, aphorsm OF Richelieu concerning the
relative potency OF pen and sword. A portion
at least OF the European war Is to be transferred
to the realm of diplomacy, and in the epistolary
exchange may be found an outlet for relieving
some of the pressure suddenly engendered by
the German admiralty's notice concerning the
war zone at sea. The United States will inquire
Of Germany just what is meant by its language,
and when that inquiry Is replied to will make
further inquiry OF Great Britain as to the mean
ing OF certain phrases in its probable reply to
Germany's notice, and thus will be opened a
diplomatic exchange that will at least consume
time and permit the public to become accus-
toned to the situation as It shall presently de-
velop.
These notes may serve to clear away any
grounds on which the neutrals might base pro-
tests against the actions OF the belligerents and
give the warning powers opportunity to re-
wise in some degree their attitude toward nom
combatants. 1t is not at all unlikely that the
nations actively engaged in the fighting will be
brought to show some greater regard for the
rights OF outsiders than at present conceded A
we'll designed bluff is as good tactics in war
as in any other contest. and the buffer is al
ways willing to take advantage of an easy way
out
The most promising aspect OF the forthcom-
ing exchange OF notes is that II is likely to lead
| 10 more important diplomatic activities. Ma
| lions willing to discuss or another phase CT
their differences may eventually be brought 10
consider the whole case, and thus to open the
way TO ultimate peace.

Getting and Giving.

Two of the most eminent living exponents
OF the game OF getting and the sport Of giving
have been diverting public attention from other
matters by an apparently frank statement OF
their conception Of their duties to their fellow
men. Both Mr.. Carnegie and Mr.. Rockefeller
seemed TO find real pleasure in telling OF the
giving of their millions. In this they occupy
positions unique and alone. for It has seldom
hundreds Of millions Of dollars. and yet retain
control OF capital so colossal as to make him
eminent even in time OF inflated fortunes.
The two men, Carnegie and Rockefeller, are
products OF modern Industrial development;
each has reached and held his prominence by
shrewdly applied ability. and each has found
some satisfaction in efforts to assist mankind
along lines wherein large sums of money might
be rightfuly employed. without debating the
details OF these efforts, nor undertaking to es-
pecially defend them, Il may be stated that the
benefactions OF these men have been serviceable
and will still be OF use in the work OF finding out
how 20 live better
Human nature itself is still the chief Stun
is perverse and unwilling TO be guided by fixed
rules and the upward struggle of the race is
still more or less blindly pursued because of this
fact Carnegie, Rockefeller and Morgan alike
admit they have not found the cause of poverty
nor the means OF removing It, Perhaps Il is
better So for just as luxury begets soth. so does
poverty sharpen the edge OF ambition, and
through the expansion and growth OF the indi-
vidual has come the substantial advancement OF
the race as a whole
