an effort to make the civil service

The commissioners have barred

PETROGRAD. July 25.-Ncver before
have the superb tenacity and morale
of tho Russian soldier been displayed
to greater advantage than during the
last few days of desperate fighting in
tho southwestern theater Signs are
not wanting that the plan Of the Ger
man offensive Is beginning to be
weakened by the incessant battering
at the stone wall OF the Russian de-
fensive. that the German munitions are
not SO plentiful. and that the Germans
are forcing the base on the less i'm
portant fronts in order to conceal their
failure.
The fact that the Russians were able
to check the German efforts to advance
toward Cholm is reliable SYMPTOM
that the Germans arc firing and are
urgently in need of fresh reserves.

ITALIANS ARE CONFIDENT
OF CAPTURING GoRIZI.

Especial Cable 10 The Times Dispatch
ROME. July 25.-Describing the five
day battle for the possession OF Gorilla.
the correspondent of the Tribuna. in
the war zone, says:
From Monte Nero to Mount San
Michele, along the whole course of the
lsonzo. the battle continues with daily
increasing vigor and confidence. Around
San Michele both the Austrians and
Italians are making strenuous efforts
and the fighting goes on night and day.
Gun shells cross each other uninter-
ruptedly through n hail of fire from
the rapid-fire guns and rifles.
Tho engagements are of the most
sanguinary character and the fire pro
duces n veritable inferno. The spirit
that animatcs the Italian troops is un-
parallelcd. Every arm of every corps
has asked to participate in the final
action.
I'VE saw leaving the trenches. whole
regiments of carabineers and dismount-
ed cavalry. whom the nature Of the
ground had condemned to inaction.
Thousands of young men. attached to
auxiliary branches OF the service. have
asked to be transferred to the front. All
are anxious to participate in the San
Michele operations which mark the
closing of the first phase of the war on
this front.
we also saw hundreds OF mothers,
wives and sisters arrive on the slow
trains to meet sons, husbands and
brothers. The women did not weep;
they were ashamed to weep. They had
chance for but few words and n
KISS for the soldiers were in a hurry
tho guns were calling them"
In conversation with the prisoners
who now throng the italian encamp-
ments. the correspondent learned that
the Austrians were unable to mako
battle in the open. being confined ex-
ciusiVeiy to their trenches, owing to
the swiftness of the Italian attacks. He
says that invariably the trenches In
positions captured by the Italians have
been found filed with dead, and that
countofattacks of the Auatrians have
always cost the enemy enormous losses,
