ITALIANS SAFE IN
Hills OF AUSTRIA
Invaders Have Seized Impreg-
nable Positions from
Enemy.
CAN FORTIFY MOUNTAINS
Work of Small Part of Army Has
Gained this Advantage. Writes
Eyewitness.
BY w. T. MASSEY.

IsrrciaI Correspondent Of The Washington Herald
In the -AIidge Valley. Aug. 2s.-Durins
the past eight days l have been per-
rnitted TO visit many places on the north
western line between Austria and Italy
and on about 10 miles of the frontier
along the mountain chain chosen by
the Austrtans because of its natural
strength.
One was struck by the enormous ad-
vantage Italy has secured in this war
area.
Pursuing from the start vigorous nd
well calculated offensive. the Italian
srmy has won territory OF inestinable
worth TO the Austrians and, by reason
of her conquests, ltaly's position is now
irlmea surdbiy superior to what 1t was at
the opening OF the campaign.
Can Fortify Hills.
At some points on the line l have
been fully ten milometers into what was
Austria before the end of May and in
other districts the advance has been
quite as substantial. There is scarcely
a kilometer OF the whole of this section
of the frontier. on which the Austrians
retain a hold.
The Importance of this advantage lies
not so much in the depth of the coun-
try gained as in the character Of IT,.
=
tino are all narrow and dominated by
hills which enterprising troops can make
almost lmprcgnable. To hold these hills
only few battalions and batteries are
necessary. These could put back large
armies and from almost every mountai l.
side the whole width of the valley is
within the field of fire.
Whether the Austrians wrongly cal
culated that Italy was not rcf,dy to aC-
vance or whether she undere.timated tle
dash of the Italian troops the Austrians
have been fore ed hack and. in yield:I,
had to give up 4 deep hano of rugged
country which she herself had acquired
because of its enormous military value.
The work OF comparatively small
section Of the Italian army has secured
the nv!olability OF this section of the
frontier and it seems safe to Fruphesy
that no direct attack will succeed IN
pushing the Italians back. II is doubt
ful if any such attempt will be made.

GOLD AT DARDANELLES.
Brftish Soldiers Find Psecious Metal
Near Turk Trenches.

The Dardanelles. Aug. 29.-Gold has
been discovered near the British posi-
tions on the GallipoIi Peninsula. A
few days ago a squad of Australian
troops was digging a hole in expecta-
tion of tapping a spring. One old
miner went on digging long after the
others had given up hope of reaching
water. When asked why. the old
miner replied:
We'll. this BIT Of country Is just like
Western Australia. and IL there amt
any water. there's sure to be gold"
Sure enough his trained eyes soon
after did discover gold among the
sands. but not in paying quantities.

Oakland, Cal, Aug. 2g.-The attack
of Miss Grace Strachan. district super
intendent Of schools in Brooklyn, n Y,
upon the National Educational Associa-
tion after her defeat for the presidency,
and her subsequent resignation, has
created a sensation in educational cir
cles. The contest for the presidency
was bitter, and Miss Strachan. one of
the best-known educators in the coun-
try, charges that her defeat was
brought about by unfair means and
factional diSloyalty.
Delegates are discussing the question
of whether Miss Strachans resignation
forecasts a split in the organization.
At a stormy session OF the convention
Miss Strachan vainly sought to address
the delegates just before the election.
She forced the question to A ballot and
was defeated by a vote of 4I9 to lS4.
