ROME. Aug. 3l.-The Austrians are
%evacuating Goritz. according to a mes
cage which reached here late tonight.
The stronghold. which has been the OBJ
ject OF Italian aggression since the war
began. is practically surrounded by the
Italian troops.
The railway connecting Goritz with
Trlests, however. still remains open and
it Is over this. according to the de-
spatches from the front, that toe Aus
trian garrison is making It's way in all
haste. the line being seriously threat
ened by the Italian advance.
There seems good reason to believe
that a great number Of Austrian sol
diers Will be trapped in the stronghold,
as the Italians are said to be advancing
rapidly on the one means Of retreat left,
namely, the railroad to Trieste. Heavy
artillery has been placed on the domi-
mating hills west Of this railroad, and
the movement Of troop trains is being
serious hampered.
