TiAis, Transcaucasia (via Petrograd
and London, Aug. l0-The Armenian
Bishop has received information that
10000 refugees have arrived at lgdlr,
the principal outlet of the vilayet OF
Van. II is expected that fully 100000

the Russian victory at Sary- kamysh.
Reports of massacres Of Armenlans
at various points have been received

Six thousand were said to have been
slain at Van in May. American mis-

ITALIAN OFFENSIVE
TO BE DELAYED
Cadorna Will First Consolidate
Positions Won-S5,000 Aus
TRANS Wounded.

Paris, Aug. 10.--A dispatch from
Udine states that General Cadorna,
Italian commander in chief, has de-
cided not to resume the offensive on
large scale until his troops are well
settled and organized in the positions
lately occupied.
The losses of the Austrians in
wounded alone, it is reported, have
reached a total of $4,000. They are
in need Of fresh troops and, not wish
ing to weaken their armies on the
Serbian and Russian fronts, have
brought in three army corps from Pola
to the Isonzo front.
A cause of great suffering to the Aus
TRANS on Carso Plateau is lack of
water. Until recently water has been
obtained from Doberdo Lake, but this
supply has been cut off, as Doberdo is
under the fire of Italian artillery.
Italian artillery fire is proving effec-
tive at Tagliata and Ruaz.
ITALIAN OFFICIAL.
The general situation is IN
changed. Our artillery, however, has
caused serious damage to Tagliata
and Ruaz, near Livinallonga.
On the Carso plateau we easily
repulsed the now habitual small
night attacks with which our ad-
versary seeks vainly TO hamper US,
strengthening our positions and pre-
pairing for further advances.
AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL.
Daily artillery combats on the
southwest front continue. In The
district of Gorilla, near PLAYA, the
bombardment at times is very vio-
lent. Three Italian attacks against
our western salient on the Doberdo
plateau and an attack near Zagora,
southwest of PLAYA, were repulsed.

as the best of them.

While some changes have been made
in the construction of the car. the orig

the planes and rudders will be as first
planned.
When the machine is taken into the
air next month those who have not
been abroad will have their first OPP
portunity to realize what a Zeppelin
looks like. OF course, some Of the Yep
pelins are much larger and they differ
in construction IN that they are rigid.
while this machine will be of the nom
rigid type. but the general effect will
be the same. The new craft resembles
in many respects the Clement Bayard
or Zodiac machines of France, and
nothing like II has ever been seen in
this country.
Scientists and inventors all over the
United States are anxiously awaiting
the outcome of the Connecticut Air
craft Company's experiment, and it is
safe 70 say that the trials at Pensacola
will be witnessed by a distinguished
gathering.

Apparently the company saw the
handwriting on the wall more than a
year ago. At that time Captain
Thomas S Baldwin. famous dirigible
expert, was engaged as chief con-
structor. and sent abroad to study
dirigibles in England, France, Ger

back a fund Of information as to new
methods If construction. as well as
the American rights TO a number Of
valuable patents.
II was recognized that the building of
a dirigble on this side Of the Atlantic
would be q grave experiment. and the
designs for craft of various sizes pro-
ceeded slowly and with great caution.
Nevertheless, in very short time after
the call for bids had been sent out by
the Navy Department Captain BALDWIN
produced a scale model of the machine
which the New Haven people purposed
10 build. Tests in the wind tunnel at
the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech

built on satisfactory lines.
Eight concerns entered the competl-

"The trenches at Hooge captured by

an unfortunate episode but it was con-

they knew the work was beginning.
