Italian Government Describes

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2i.-The Italian
embassy gave out to-day a statement
sent by the Rome Government in which
the course OF the operations against
Austria is explained. Denying reports
from Austro-German sources. the
Italian Government asserts that the
frontier has at no point been crossed
by the Teutons. Discussing the adj
vance against the great Isonzo fortress
OF Goritz, the statement says:

the Carso plateau. which constitutes the
main stronghold in the Goritz defences.
There in a few weeks our troops have
forced their way to the outer edge of
the heights running from Gradisca to
Monfalcone and then pierced the enemy's
strong line OF defence on the plateau
itself from the Se!la db San Martina 10
Monte Sci Bust and the heights and
forts OF Monfaicone. Therefrom they
have begun and are carrying on slowly
but steadily their attack on the next
line of Austrian defence"
Referring to the losses suffered in the
hghting, the statement says:
our losses do not amount even to one
sixth OF the 200, 900 casualties attributed
TO us by our enemies. We nave taken
$4,000 prisoners. although we had to
make frontal attacks, while the enemy
has taken only a few hundred, so few

ascertained to be extraordinarily heavy

in New York from Italy that a large
number of troops had been concentrate
at Brindisi with transports and q naval
fleet, all ready TO embark against
Turkey at the proper moment. Previ-
Gus TO this report there had been many
cable messages from various parts OF
Europe, including Italy, that the hrst
stroke in an italian war against Turkey
would be one In support OF Great
Britain and France at the Dardanelles.
The Italian war once has been ret
icent on this subject. Even last nights
dispatches from Rome. hled after the
war was a certainty. contained no hint
respecting the probable nature OF the
Italian campaign against Turkey.
The trouble In Llbya, ascribed by the
italian Government az one OF the causes
OF the declaration OF war. began even
before Italy declared war on Austria.
1t was charged that Germany and
Turkey had combined in sending agents
to Italy's new African possession to
foment rebellion among the natives and
that arms and ammunition had been
shipped into the country.
Such a practice. on the part OF
Turkey at least. was In direct contra
vention Of the treaty Of lausanne. which
ended the last ltalo-Turkish war. This
treaty prescribed that Turkey was to
keep hands on In Tripolk More recently,
since the Italians have been fighting
Austria, Turkish and German activities
in Libya have been carried on more
energetically. according to reports from
Rome. AS Is apparent. the object OF
these activities was to divert Italian
attention and to necessitate the presence
IN Tripoli Of a considerable force.
Italy declared war on Turkey on
September 20. 1911. on the grounds that
the Turks had hindered the development
Of Italian interests in Tripoli. An
italian torpedo boat squadron under the
Duke Of the Abruzzl entered the harbor
of Prevesa a few hours after the decla-
ration OF wal and sank Turkish torpedo
and gun boats located there. The city OF
Tripoli was captured seven days later.
and on october IS, 1912, less than three
years ago. the war vas ended by the
treaty OF lausanne. Turkey agreed to
recognize the sovereignty OF Italy In
Trpoli.
