ITALIANS PRESS
ASSAULT ALONG
75-MTLE FRONT
Great Progress Made at
Many Points on the
ESOnZO River.

Turin. July 90 Dispatch to London
Daily Chronicle".) The great battle on
the most important sector Of all in the
ItalO Austrian war that of the IsOnzo
River appears to be nearing its cul-
minating phase. A general assault is at
this moment going forward all along a
seventy-fve-m front from Jarvis to
the Adriatic shore
In the northern district, from NAL
borghet to Caporetto. the giant task has
been confined chiefly to the bigger ar
tilery. There. as well as in the central
tract down to Gorizia, the Przemysl Of
lsonzo. greater progress has already
been realized than | am permitted TO
specify.
At a number of points the Italians
have cleared a wey thoroughly for a
rapid and decisive advance, but such
partial and isolated forward movements
are being wisely withheld. lest they
should lead to the formation of inse-
cure salients, which. without immediate
support on either side, could not, per-
haps, be held fast, even at a heavy sac
rifce of life.
The most pronounced Italian advance
is lower down on the Carso plateau,
east of Sagrado. Here the bloody on
slaught lasted the whole day on Mon
day, during which there was cordi-
mated movement between the advance
of the largest masses of infantry yet
employed and the continuous support
of heavy guns and field pieces. II
worked out to perfection. Before the
sun sunk below the horizon the Italians
had carried row upon row of terraced
trenches on rising ground thickly sown
with barbed entanglements and studded
with armored bombproof shelters.
They bayOnetted the defenders by
hundreds and captured 1000 prisoners,
among them 80 officers and 1000 rifles,
6 Quick-fring guns and a good guam
tity OF ammunition.

GUARD ALLIES HORSES
Contractors for $4,000 Fear
They Might Be Poisoned.

Unwilling to expose horses to poi
soning by cranks, Mayer e. Carpenter,
who have contract for shipping $4,000
to the Allies, last night doubled the
guard about their two thousand ami
mails stabbed at the Empire City race
track, Yonkers.
This follows the suspicious actions
of two strangers who were seen about
the stables a few days ago, and the
company believes that by increasing
the guard all strangers may be kept
away.
Since the animals began TO arrive
here, few months ago, more than
700 have died.

SEA MINES IN WARFARE
The Result When Vessel Strikes One
of These Deadly Engines

To merchantmen, TO the smaller and
older warships-to everything that
floats, except the very highest and more
recent products of the shipbuilder's s art
the mine presents the danger of com
'plete and almost instant annihilation.
The rigidity of the ship is in itself an
element OF danger, for the water sur
rounding it is incOmpressible.
If the skin and frame could give
way without rupture and permit the
expanding gases (2,000
times the volume of the solid explosive)
to transmit their energy in such way
as simply to push the ship aside and
thus find way to the surface, the dam
age might be slight.
But this cannot be. There is no such
elasticity available. And the expan-
sion is so nearly instantaneous that
pushing the ship aside is physically
impossible. Therefore, the structure
must break, releasing the gases first
into the interior and then by lines of
least resistance finally up into the air.
This action is completely instantan-
eous. 1t blows of hatch covers and
deck plates, twists massive steel mem
bers into unacceptable shapes,
spreads havoc broadcast. 1t trans
mutes a proud ship into sinking mass
of wreckage-a happy passenger saloon
into a shambles-carries mourning into
a hundred homes Such is the effect of
mines.-Sidney Graves Koon in Les

COMPLETE REORGANIZATION
OF JUDICIARY PROPOSED
Definite Steps Taken for Calling oon-
stitutional Convention "to Modern
ize Present System of State Gov
eminent

Definite moves for holding a consti-
tutional convention to modernize the
present system of State government
were announced at the Capitol last
night. Within fortnight Charles J.
Roney, of Philadelphia, will present
bills in the House of Representative to
submit the call for a convention to the
people and likewise provide for the elec-
ton of delegates. Mr.. Roney has not
completed the draft of the proposed
legislation, but is cooperating with
prominent lawyers of Philadelphia in
the preparation.
While no announcement has been
made of Governor Brumbaugh's sup
port for constitutional convention, it
is understood that the Roney move will
be backed by the new Governor, as its
sponsor is Ware floor leader In the
House.
As now planned by Representative
Roney, two delegates will be elected in
each Senatorial district. though this
may be changed to two frem each Rep
fesentative district. Under the law.
the new Constitution as adopted would
have to be approved by vote of the
people before going into effect.
One OF the chief purposes of the pro-
posed constitutional convention, as out
lined by Mr.. Roney, will be a complete
reorganization of the judiciary system.
As planned. the State would be divided
into 6 districts for common pleas pro-
eeedings, and the President Judges of
these jurisdictions would constitute a
new appellate court This special body
would consider appeals from the lower
courts, and it is contended that the
change will simplify rather than fur
ther complicate the legal system.
through more coordinate organiZa-
ton.
The plan calls also for the abolish
ment of local magistrates, at least in
the cities of the State.
As further proposed, the constitu-
tional convention Will provide for home
rule for cities. as advocated by DIR.
Brumbaugh, and permit the municipali-
ties to determine for themselves the ex-
tent of their financial obligations.
II is likewise planned to wipe out the
present provision for uniform taxation
and grade levies for public purposes in
the future according to classes.
1t is likewise proposed to insert a
direct principle into the Constitution
to provide for the most advanced type
OF democratic legislation ror choosing
pu5lic officers, and to give the extreme
latitude. when desired, in laws for elec-
ton. uniform primaries or the like.
The Constitution will, as planned
give more definite recognition to the
Office of the Attorney General as q def
mite department, and greatly enlarge
it's scope.
