London. July Ga Lugano dispatch
TO "The Daily Chronicle" reports that
the battle Of the Carso tableland be
yond the lSOnzo is developing more and
more favorably for the Italians. who
are continuing the work Of occupying
the enemy positions. The Italian in
fantry attacks have been much facili-
tated by the admirable work Of the ar
tillery, which has destroyed entrench-

ishing accuracy, rendering the subse-
quent infantry assaults uniformly sue

On the left wing the Italians operat-
ing i'm the region of SELF reached the
heights of Crosis. taking more than six
hundred prisoners and a battery. King
Victor Emmanuel was present at this
battle.
The Vienna official statement says:
Fighting in the Gorilla district on
Monday developed into general bat
tie with the attack made by the Third
Italian army. About four hostile corps
advanced under the protection of
formidable artillery fire against our
front from the bridge head at Gorilla
TO the sea. The attacks were COM
pletely repulsed. The enemy suffered
terrible losses. Thanks to the praise
worthy attitude of our troops, especial

Udine. Italy via Paris, July g. The
Italian attack in the Carso region is
proceeding steadily. From the sur
rounding country details filter through
telling of the regular movements OF
the invaders the preparation by the
artillery, the advance Of the infantry
and bayonet charges. The attack has
been successful. although it is being
carried on against a territory in which
il is exceptionally difficult to work, since
il is full of caverns, grottoes and
crevasses A report telling Of the capt

two DAYS on a front of five or six miles
shows, in the opinion of military men,
considerable advance.

The Italian aviators also damaged
the Austrian encampment at Doberdo,
five miles north of Monfalcone. They
dropped bombs also on the important
railway station at Dornburg, about
seven miles south of Gorilla Junction,

QUEBEC EXPLOSION
KILLS &, HURTS 8
One Wilmington Man Dead, An
other Injured in Accident In
Canadian Explosives Plant.

Montreal, July Six men were
killed by a cordite explosion to-day at
the plant Of the Canadian Explosives
Company at Beloeil, Quebec, about
twenty-five miles from here. Eight per
sons were severely injured. Among
the dead are Captain Murray Wilson,
manager of the cordte department Of
the company, and Elmer G. Brown. of
the du Point Powder Works, Whining
ton. Del.
After the explosion the plant caught
fire and the flames hampered the res
cuers. Special trains we're ordered, and
as fast rs the injured were rescued
they were brought to hospitals in this
city.
Among the badly injured was H. c.
Shock, an explosives expert from Will
mington Several women, who were
working in the cordite department and
who were badly hurt, were among the
first saved.
One Of the women employed in the
factory said when she recovered con-
seriousness that chipping machine
caused spark TO ignite the cordite
and the explosion followed.
The firm, which is affiliated with the
Du Point Powder Works, was engaged,
it is understood. in filing explosive
orders for the Canadian and British
governments.

NEW COAST DEFENCE
PLANNED BY ARMY
Heavy Guns Mounted'On Railway
Trucks to Support Regular
Batteries.
rFrom,rns Tribune Bureau J

Washington, July 6.-United States
army exrerts are considering plans
for an elaborate system Of mobile
coast defences, taking the cue from
the lessons Of the war in Europe
Although no decision haf been
reached as 70 the precise character
Of the equipment 70 be adopted, 1t Is
certain TO include several giant guns
capable of being transported from
point to point by rail.
Sharp criticism directed against the
present system Of coast defences has
pointed out that, while the forItica-
tions might succeed, with the aid Of
the navy, in beating off an attacking
foe. there is almost no provision for
a secondary defence in case an enemy
succeeded in landing. Experts believe
heavy guns mounted on railway trucks
would be the most effective means OF
combating an enemy that had eluded
or sienced the shore batteries, and
would have the added advantage OF
being extremely portable as compared
with the ordinary type Of siege ar
tillery.
Every phase Of the transportation
problem as it is being worked out in
Europe is watched with keen interest
bv the War Department experts. The
superior;t; Of the automobile over the
horse for officers use, as attested by
the experience, Of the present war,
has already led 70 the recOmmenda-
ton Of the purchase Of 300 automo-
hi los for this purpO-e.

"Gouging" and Hazing
Scandals Now Being
Investigated.
NEW WITNESSES TELL
OF EXAMINATIONS
Say Ninety Per Cent of Upper

Information.
rry Telegraph 70 Tie Tribune }

Annapolis, July s. After remaining
at anchor off the Naval Academy a
month later than scheduled on account
of the "gouging" inquiry, the practice
cruise of midshipmen began to-day
when the Wisconsin started down the
bay on the trip TO San Francisco The
Missouri, flagship, with Rear Admiral
Fullam, the superintendent, and the
Ohio will sail at daybreak tomorrow.
The first stop will be Guantanamo Bay,
which will be reached next Monday.
Left behind are about seventy mid
shipmen, about fifty Of whom are
principals in proceedings growing out
Of the hazing investigation. Nineteen
are defendants before the court in
vestigating academy examination con-
ditions. II is likely that some Of these
midshipmen will be able later TO make
the trip TO San Francisco by train and
join the squadron on the homeward
trip.
The hazlng inquiry is still going on.
On its completion the record will be
sent TO Secretary Daniels, who will
either recommend midshipmen for dis
missal or for milder punishment at
the academy in case of dismissal a
midshipman may claim the right Of
trial by court martial. Admiral
Fullam declared to-day that neither in
fuence nor connections would save a
guilty man so far as the academy au-
thorities are concerned
New witnesses in the cribbing in
vestigation to-day were Ensigns Clarke,
McCrea and Kriner. They testified that
they had a substantial amount of the
advance information on the modern
language examination and that they be
lieved about 80 per cent of the two

testimony indicated that most of these
mdshipmen received the information
through the copy obtained by Midship-
man Harrison when he visited VESSEL
at the hospital and not from the
papers received through the mail by
Midshipman Moss. which proved TO be
actual advance copies
McCrea testified with reference TO tn e
statement of a previous witness which
connected him with the improper use
of a text book during a recitation. He
said he had no knowledge of any Incl
dent and that his instructor In this
branch had stated to him that there
was no suspicion of such conduct on

Submarines to Isolate
Canada, Experts Predict
Atlantic Trip an Easy Task for New German O-boats
Says Navy Ofhcer-Reports of New Protection
Against Undersea Raiders Discredlted.

Officers Of the United States Navy,
when told Of Germany's prospective
plans. predicted success in their com
ments. One of the officers. in charge
of a United States submarine hotllla,
stated that it would be an easy task 10
pilot submarines across the Atlantic
Ocean even under adverse weather con-
ditons.
THE weather in the English Channel
is more treacherOus than that IN the
open ocean, and German U boats have
cruised in the channel for weeks with
out any difficulty he said. Recently
five of our own submarines travelled
all the way from Key West 10 New
York about half the distance across
the Atlantic. They thoroughly proved
their seaworthiness, despite the fact
that they were not of the modern gh-
sen type. such as Germany has been
building for months. and they are about
half the size of the giant submarines
Germany is now employing in her naval
warfare
Another commander Of one OF the
little American fighting craft said that
at the rate Of two and three a week.
and that they are cons. dered BY ok
perts far superior 70 any submarines
which have been built thus far.
THE average cruising range Of these
boats is between 5000 and 1000 miles"
this American officer said. They can
make from eighteen 10 twenty-five
knots and are able 70 stay away from
their base for a period OF ninety days.
Ii would be physical impossibility
for any submarine crew 70 remain con-
tinuously aboard their vessel for this
length OF time. But Germans already
have done some things which formerly
were considered as impossible.
AS an instance. / might mention the
fact that a German L boat several
weeks ago cruised TO The Dardanelles.
operated there for some days and re-
turned 10 is base without having taken
on any supplies or provisions. The
crew remained on board for forty-six
consecutive DAYS and the boat travelled
over a distance OF approximately 5000
miles
Other officers who we're told Of the
proposed German submarine blockade
OF the Canadian steamship lanes eX-
pressed themselves as satisfied that II
was not only a feasible but also
logical move on the part Of Germany.

mentioned, the scheme certainly ap-
pears 10 have great deal of merit"
n those who claim TO have inside IN
formation about the above plan are 70
be credited, the instructions 10 the
commanders of the adventurous expe-
dition into Canadian waters will read:
Destroy every vessel that leaves q
Canadian port for Europe. They all
carry contraband
II these orders are enforced, local
Germans predict, the moral effect Will
be disastrous for the Allies. They be-
lieve that within a few weeks from
the sinking of the first Canadian
steamer commerce between Canada and
Europe will be paralyzed.
No comment could be obtained from
German officials. with one exception
that of a high officer in the KAISER
navy, who exclaimed:
Germany has demonstrated conc u
sively that she does not hesitate at the
performance OF any task for the bene-
fit of the Fatherland. She already has
done what was considered impossible
on the Continent. She has carried the
war into the enemy's country. Why
should not her valiant submarine men
be able to carry her war into the en-
emy's waters, wherever it may take
them"
That was the nearest TO official com
mert obtainable But the inner circle
If local Germans, initiated into the
secret, swear by the "fall Of Lemberg"
that Admiral Won Tirpitz has the plan
and the sumarines TO carry it out, and
that Germany has the daredevils who
will stake their lives on the outcome.
And what is more, these German sons
declare that nothing can be done TO
guard against the proposed submarine
U,ar in Canadian waters.

While there are no authentic reports

6cers of the navy. indirect reports
which they have received from reliable
sources lead them 20 believe that Ger

TO the one issue and by eXerting every
ounce of available energy, has been

This shows that the German Admiralty
has realized the tremendous advantage
of the powerful submarine IN modern
warfare"
The recent reports that an invention
has been made by means OF which the
exact location of a submarine, even
when submerged, can be ascertalned
within a radius Of twenty miles, was
given little credence by submarine Of
fcers, who pointed out that even II a
submarine could be located no weapon
had yet been discovered which would
be effective in attacking a submarine
under water. Torpedo boats were said
70 be too unsteady for this purpose
and torpedo boat destroyers too clumsy
for an attack upon a submarine. The
best that can be expected Of them IA to

There is no protection against

torpedo strikes there will be an ex-
plosion. which cannot be checked by
any known device. sooner or later

submarine attack. But at present

Simon Lake. submarine inventor,
told a reporter for The Tribune that
he could see no obstacle 70 prevent
the Germans from carrying out the
plans outlined.
"The new German submarines" he
said, ARE capable Of cruising at least
six thousand miles at speed OF nine
knots. II the commander chose 70 re-
duce his speed the general saving OF
fuel and lubricants would enable him
TO cover a much greater distance, al

There is no doubt that the Ger

that were certainly 900 feet long. They
are built on the same principle as the
Lake boat, that Is, they submerge on
an even keel.
Graft Of the new German type are
splendidly adapted for cruising, and
the trip across the ocean would be
easy. in my opinion. They could ne
Qotiate rocky shores with ordinary
caution. and go where they could not
be followed by other vessels.
Little Peril for War Fish.
"As for danger to the submarine
when making rocky shelters, of course
there is a certain amount of risk. But
the construction Of the boat does not
permit of her coming TO grief unless
she hits something head on Otherwise
she will glance off. 1t is interesting to
consider that submarine will stand
the pressure that obtains at a depth
of 200 feet. while an ordinary warship
would crumple at depth of so feet.
