London, June S.-The expected great
battle along the Isonzo River IN Aus
trian territory. apparently has begun
Here the Italians evidently have de-
cided TO launch their principal attack.
Italian cavalry already has crossed the
river at one point, and IT was reported
from Geneva day. although there IS
no confirmation. that they have pierced
the Austrian line.
According to dispatches from the
Italian frontier, the fighting IS cen
.rinr around a point north Of Tol-
mino and around Gradisca, evidently
with the intention OF encircllng TINS
location.
n apparently is the intention Of the
Italian military leaders to deprive Ihe
Austrians of their first line OF defence
that along the Isonzo River, on their own
territory. To this end Monte Nero also
has been occupied, as have the noun
tains between the lsonzo and ldria
rivers. These positions dominate the
towns Of Volzana. Ronzina, Canale ana
Desola, all on the lsonzo.

snipers, who cIept forward far IN ad-
vance of their artillery positions, nave
been worrying The Austrians night and
day. The Italians have gained ground
which now enables them seriously to
threaten Tolmino. On the lower lsonzo
Italian cavalry has carried out some
brilliant exploits. Two bodies of horse,
operating from different points
crossed the Isonzo by swimming, and,
gaining the east bank, rode far into
Austrian territory to reconnoitre
The river was quickly spanned by
pontoon bridges and strong force OF
infantry crossed in the wake OF the
horsemen. The Austrians have been
reinforced in this sector. and THEN
resistance seems to be well organized.
However. they show no inclination to
abandon the defensive for the offensive.
The Italians are proceeding careful
". so as to guard against surprise. Once
Tolmino falls before the forces OF Cen
eral Cadorns they will be in posses
sion of the important railway running
through the middle Of the valley OF the
lsonzo south to Gorilla and Trieste.
Along the lower course of the
Isonzo. after spanning the river with
military bridges under the eyes of the
enemy, large detachments of our
troops. preceded by a reconnoitring
force of cavalry, succeeded in crossing
to the eastern bank, where they now
are terrifying themselves. BY this
manpuvre we are assured along the
Isonzo front the same liberty of action

dav somewhat obsecures the situation
through a mention of General Won LIN
singen's advance against Lemberg as
reaching "the line Of Lubaczow." This
city is forty-hve mile northeast OF
Przemysl. Other statements in the
communicate. however, as well as the
Austrian Official version, lead military
men to believe that the advance refers
TO a movement on the northern side OF
the Dniester around Nowoszyn. south
east OF Lemberg. The text Of the Ger
man statement follows:
THE number of prisoners taken by
the army under General Won Macken-
sen since June amounts TO more than
10000. In the hills near Nowoszyn,
northeast of Zuralt, the troops under
General Linsingen again defeated the
enemy. The pursuit reached the line
of Lubaczow.
South of the Dniester River we
crossed the Lukew River and reached
Byslow. east of Kalusz, Wojnilow,
Feredne and KolodziejOw. The booty
taken this day amounts to 4,900 pris-
oners. four cannon and twelve machine
guns"
The official communication issued to-
night in Vienna says:
ain the districts of the Pruth and
Dnester (Galcia) the troops Of the
Teutonio allies yesterday prosecuted
an attack along the Lanczyn-Nadwor-
na-Kalusz line and pushed back the
enemy toward Stanislau and Halicz.

Letter Asking for Recruits in
Case of Clash" with U. 5.
Declared Forgery.
fBy Telegraph to Tho rrIbuns. ]

PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-Germans and
men believed to be Of German descent
In this city received letters to-day pur-
porting to come from Herman Ridder,
editor OF the "Steats Zeitung," New
York German newspaper, calling on
them to defend their fatherland in
case of a possible armed clash between
the United States and Germany:
Here is a copy of the letter addressed
to a man who did not care to reveal
his name:
philadelphia, June 2, 1915.
Dear sir: A close canvass OF clt.-
zens of German descent has revealed
the fact that you are of German blood.
and we want your acknowledgment
so that we may enroll your name
among the faithful sons Of the father
land who may be depended upon 10
defend its rights and its position,
should it be necessary to do so, IN the
possible clash between Germany and
the United States. May we depend
upon you to be subscriber to this
paper as setting forth your principles
and your allegiance? Very truly yours
"HERMAN BIDDER,
editor Stats Zeitung.'"
Then follows in German script:
deutschland ueber allies"
One man, not of German blood
received one of the letters and de-
nounced it as "treachery of the worst
kind; treachery beside which that OF
Benedict Arnold paled into inslgnlil-
canoe"
The note was written on conven--
tional writing paper. The style or
the writing in this letter was essen
tally German. containing many -four
ishes and an occasional letter of Ger
man script.
Victor Ridder, a sor of Herman
Ridder. in New York, tonight said the
letter was a forgery
