WANT BALDWIN TO
 RUN FOR MAYOR
Leading Democrats of New Haven
 Believe Former Governor Would .,s . Make Strong Candidate.


 New Haven, Aug. 3.-When the democratic town committee and dep- uty registrar meet tonight at Tabard Inn, Morris Cove, to formulate plans for. the coming municipal campaign, among the candidates who will be dis cussed for the mayoralty nomination will be Former Governor Simeon B. Baldwin, so it was learned yesterday.
 Governor Baldwin carried the city by majority of ASA in the last cleo ton, and it is felt by many leading democrats, that he would make the strongest and the most popular candi- date that could be lined up against Mayor Rice in the Tall. His candi- dacy would swing nto line large number of republican votes too, for his popularity is general and not con- fined to his party. The matter of his ability to carry the city isn't ques-. toned even by republicans who know his strength as vote-getter, and his

Mathematical Precision.

Rome, Aug. 3, via Paris. 5:30 a. m. Letters received in Rome from offi- cers at the front agree that the fight ing on the Isonzo River and on the Carso Plateau may we'll be taken as an eHceiientsAexaHnplea of thc~aperfect realization of the. plans of the Ital- ian commanders.
 Nothing in these engagements was left to chance, but everything was worked out with mathematical pre- cision. A lieutenant of artillery, writing from the front, says the for- midable Austrian defences on Mount Podgoro and on Mount San Michele are no longer recognizable. the Ital- ian artillery having done it's work so we'll. A few days saw, the destruction of what cost Austria a vast sum of money to build.
 s 10000 Crushed to Death.
 Other letters relate that a large proportion of the Austrian losses were caused, not by the Italian fire, but by the hurling down of rocks. Over 1O.OO0 men were thus crushed to death in their trenches. At San Mar tini, no fewer than 2,500 Austrian dead were found in a group of trench es, crushed by falling rock.
 The Italians, these letters set forth, lost comparatively few men in this fighting. The reasons would appear to be two: First, the excellent use of artillery, and second frequent charges with the bayon a weapon which tho Italians apparently handle to better than do their opponen $.
