by the Italians at point midway be-
tween Tolnino and Plezzo and about
eight miles from either of them. With
the capture Of these mountain centres,
the immediate objective Of the north
eastern offensive will probably have
been realized and further operations
will wait on the military circum-
stances of the situation The south
eastern offensive is much more pre-
tentious. 1t does not lead into the
Afpine mountains, but into plain,
broad enough for extensive opera
tions. The objective of the south
eastern advance is the occupation of
Trieste and the province of 1str1a.
The two railways that lead from 1tal-
ian territory to the Trieste line have
been seized by the Italians few miles
inside the Austrian boundary. The
Italians must retain possession OF
these railways to continue their ad-
vance and they have yet to cross sew
eral rivers before they can consider
themselves well on their way to
Trieste. First successes of campaigns
have fallen to the Italians, but no
conclusion can be drawn from this
fact II is impossible to indicate
what the present occupation of Aus
trian territory will be. Considerable
time must elapse before a clash OF
main bodies Of troops occurs.

proved retention Of Lord Kitchener,
but several we're outspoken in their

leader. Practically al; the papers ex-
pressed regret at the refusal of John

NEW YORK, May 26.-The Holland
American liner Ryndam, bound from
New York to Rotterdam with seventy
eight passengers, collided with the
Norwegian freight steamer Joseph j.
Cuneo, off Nantucket Island about
a. m, today in a heavy fog.
A wireless message to her agents
here said that the Ryndam's passen-
gers and crew have been transferred
to the Cuneo. The Ryndam Is still
afloat and about $50 miles off Ambrose
lightship, the message said. The Amer
lean battle squadron engaged In
maneuvers Off the New England coast
is standing by.
Two Of the liners holds are full OF
water and the water is gaining, ac.
cording to wireless message. The
Ryndam is proceeding into the New
York harbor at thirteen miles an hour
and at this rate is due to arrive here
about o'clock tonight.
The first word received by the Hol-
land-American line from Captain Won
Den Heubel merely said:
"Ryndam was in collision with
steamer $50 a. m. Making water.

Later it appeared that at least two
of the vessels water tight ccmpart-
ments had been seriously stove In and
that water had entered the ships en-
gine room. Messages to thu Charles
town navy yard at Boston said the
battleship South Carolina had taken
a few Of the Ryndam's passengers off,
but no mention was made Of this in

had taken the liners passengers
