The Italian Front.
In the Italian theatre, both in
Trentino and along the Isonzo, the
Italians have been pushing ahead
slowly, their advance being retarded
by the almost impossible country in
which their operations are taking

strength Of the Austrian positions.
Appreciable progress has been
made in Trentino, notably on the
western side of Lake Garda toward

This Is an advance OF only about two
and one-half miles beyond the bor-
der into Trentino, but it brings the
Italian army to within three miles OF
Riva.
The real offensive effort of the
Italians, however, is not directed
against Trentino but against the
Isonzo line. The operations against

NAVAL BATTLE In BALTIC;
REPORTS ARE in CONFLICT
Germans and Russians Both Claim to
Have Chased the "Ene-
my's" Squadrons.

Petrograd reports: ''The morning
of July q, along the parallel of the
Cestegarn lighthouse, on the east
coast of the island of Gothland, our
cruisers encountered in fog two
enemys light cruisers and some tor
pedo boats and engaged them in bat
tie.
"At nine O'Clock in the morning a
German cruiser, badly damaged, low

other cruiser and the torpedo boats
fled.
'At ten o'clock our squadron en-
countered the armored cruiser Room,

boat and renewed the battle.
AT ten-thirty o'clock the enemy
began to retire to the south During
the retreat the enemy was Joined by
another light cruiser. This vessel
was attacked by our cruisers and
fled. At eleven-thirty O'Clock the
pursuit ceased.
After the battle oar squadron

Marines"
Berlin reports: The plucky fight of
the German layer Albatross against
four Russian cruisers of the armored
class and what is charged by German
naval Officers as a Russian violation
OF Swedish neutrality, claimed atten-
tion at Berlin Saturday.
According to Swedish and Spanish
reports the Albatross in a dense fog
lost sight of accompanying small
cruisers and suddenly was attacked
by. four big ships. The mine layer
fought desperately for several hours,
but was driven towards the Swedish
coast and finally entered Swedish
waters The captain ran the ship
aground near Henviker.
The Russians, 1t is said, continued
firing long after the Albatross enter
ed Swedish territory. The Oeste-
garn lighthouse was hit and the keep
er wa. compelled to flee. The Alba
tross was hit about thirty times.
Lieut.. Loewenberg and twenty-seven
men were killed and many others
were wounded. One shell entered
the ship hospital, killing ten wound
ed men and fatally wounding a doc
tor.
The Russian cruisers, after the &C
tion with the Albatross, were engag-
ed by one large warship and several
small German cruisers off the coast
and disappeared, hotly pursued by
the Germans.
Berlin, Monday: The Russian re-
port regarding the destruction Of a
vessel Of the Deutschland class is un-
true, according to semi-official
statement. II also is denied that the
mine layer Albatross lowered the
German flag before running ashore
on Swedish territory. The Russians
are said to have fired fifteen hundred
shots at the Albatross, of which only
twenty-five were hits. An eye witness
of the naval battle asserts that nearly
the entire stern of one Russian war
ship was shot away.

HANDLES $5OO,OOO,OOO
TO BUY WAR MUNITIONS
Most Of the Ammunition is Being
Made and Payments as Yet
Have Been Small.

In explanation of the part j. p.
Morgan and company had taken in
the furnishing of war munitions and
supplies for the European nations at
war, 1t has been stated authoritative
ly at New York that the firm had
handled more than five hundred mill
lion dollars worth of contracts for the
account of foreign governments since
the war began. 4
OF this amount about four hundred
million dollars worth has been pur-
chased for the British since the Nor
gan firm was appointed agents for
Great Britain in this country and
fifty thousand dollars worth for the
French contracted for within the last
month, the Morgan firm having been
appointed by the French government
to act lu the same capacity as it does
for the British government.
About one-half OF the total amount
contracted for in this country repre-
sents contracts for ammunition.
shells, powder and the like, but of
the whole amount of ammunition
contracted for only a small part, it
was stated, had been forwarded to
the purchasers. The remainder is
being manufactured.
The Morgan firms commission for
placing the contracts was said to be
on sliding scale which began at two
per cent. and decreased in proportion
OF the magnitude of the contracts.
1t was explained that of the total
of four hundred and fifty million
dollars worth worth of war supplies
contracted for by the Morgan firm
only a small proportion had been
paid, although advances have been
made to some firms.
This explanation was given to cor
rect the impression that the large
purchases of war supplies had been
responsible for the fall in foreign ex-
change The low quotations were
due, it was stated, to enormous pur-
chases in this country Of grain and
foodstuffs.

On the Bug river the situation is

Mackensen's armies are advancing

Russian centre and dislodging the
Russians from the Vistula, forcing
them back over the Bug. This would
split the Russian armies.

FACE -FOUR FRONTS
TEUTONS ARE STEADILY CLOS.
ING In UPON WARSAW
STRIKE AGAIN AT VERDUN
Vital Point I'm French Line Selected
for Attack--DarlanelIes Reports
are Unofficial-Italian Progress is
Slow But Steady Towards Trent

SLOW but Steady Towards Trent
and Trieste.
The military expert of The New
york Times reviews the war:
The past week has seen d marked
advance of the Teuton allies in their
project of clearing Galicia of the Rus
SLAMS. The progress had been slower
than for six weeks previous due to
the stubborn resistance of the Rus
sian troops and to their counter-at-
tacks, but the relentless pressure of
men and guns was too strong to be
withstood.
After the fall Of Lemberg the Ger
mans apparently sent large forces
southeast to take the positions on the
Dniester. These forces, before they
accomplished their object, were
roughly handled by the Russians who
were waiting for them, and 1t ia
among them that the most serious
losses have occurred.
The temporary check to their ad-
vance against the Dniester front caus-
ed a shift in the point Of attack. A
comparative lull in the Dniester fight
ing was coincident with an attack
along the Stryj Tarnopol road at Cho-
"oioh gnu oil dtISlhDI 10 advance
southeast from Lemberg along the
Lemberg-Brzezan railroad.
But the defensive strength of the
Russians was underestimated. The
Teutons could make no headway at
either point. The Teutons, however,
continued to force the fighting and
again launched a terrific attack on
the Dniester line, particularly be-
tween Halicz and the small town of
Chodorof to the west, and it was
along this llnc that the passage of
the Dniester was forced.
This necessarily affected the line
to the north, which in turn took up a
new defensive position along the
Gnila Lipa river, about fifteen miles
to the east. BY making this retreat
in time the Russians undoubtedly
saved themselves great losses in both
men and artillery.
Following this retirement the Rus
sian line east of Lemberg was also
forced back to the line of the Bug
river, stream almost as great in de-
fensive possibilities as the Dniester.
1t was not to be expected, however,
that the Ru3sis,s would stand long
behind the Gnila Lipa, as its defen-
sive strength is not to be compared
with the Dniester.
If they could not hold the Dniester
how much less then could they hold
the Gnila Lipa. AS matter of fact,
the forces on the latter line were
used merely as covering troops for
the positions in their rear, and in
only twenty-four hours they were
forced from the river to the country
between the Gnila Lipa and the Zlota
Lipa.
North of Lemberg, on the line be-
tween kielce and Rawa Ruska, the
Russian line has also been driven
Tor the most part 1t is
