Most Desperate Battle of War
Raging Along 60-Mile Front

Losses.
ROME. Iuly q.

ROME, July o.
Half million Austro-Hungarian and
italian troops, massed on front 60
miles Ions on the Isonzo River. are en-
gagged in the most desperate battle OF
the Austro-Itanan war.
Under the pressure OF the italian drive,
and especially the violent artillery fire
OF the invaders. the Austrian lines are
weakening, and at several points between
Tolmino and Doberdo the Austrians have
evacuated trenches and have been driven
from heights of strategic Importance.
Gorilla is the prize for which the ltal-
ians are hghting, but they are buying
their successes with heavy loss OF life
The Austrian losses likewise have been
very heavy, although the Austrians had
the advantage OF strong defensive works,
II is estimated that within the last 10
days the Austrians have lost 10000 men
In killed, wounded and captured on the
1sonzo front
Archduke Eugene, commander-in- chief
OF the Austrian forces, is calling vainly
for reinforcements, according to advices
from the front, but these cannot be fur
nished because all of the available
Austro-Hungarian troops have been sent
into the eastern theatre of war to help
the Germans In their drive against War
saw.
The Italians also have the advantage
in ammunition and big guns. Under the
vigorous pressure of the invaders the
Austrian line is bending at three points
near Tolmino, St. Lucas and st. Avre.
A bloody encounter took place at Monte
San Michele, on the Isonzo south of
sagrado, Under the sizzling rays of n
broiling sun, the Italians charged up the
slopes Of the mountain, facing the MUIR
dering fire of the Austrian defenders with
the most noteworthy courage. Gaining
the Austrian trenches, the Italians at
tackled the defenders with the bayonet
and hand-to-hand fghting followed. Fin
ally the Austrians were driven out, but
Immediately launched the most violent
counter-attacks, and throughout the night
the mountain valleys resounded with the
roar Of guns and we're lighted up by the
fash of burning gunpowder.
The number of prisoners taken during
the last four days by the Italians has
been increased to more than 5000
That the Austrians are short Of both
food and ammunition was declared by
these captives, who expressed the utmost
at their capture. They also
declared that German army officers are
being placed among the Austrian forces

BALKAN STATES PLAY
WAITING GAME; ONLY
3 MONTHS SUPPLIES
Must Remain Quiescent I'm
til Psychological Moment
Comes, Diplomat De-
clares-Little Chance of
Russian-Rumanian Pact.

VIENNA, July %.
The prediction that the Balkan states
will remain odt Of the war until IL IS
evident that the conflict is to end soon
was made here by a Balkan diplomat,
who In an interview said.
THE Balkan States have money, ann
munitlon and war materials only for three
months Of war. It follows that II the
Balkan States are to participate in this
struggle they must wait until the psy-
Geological moment comes when they can
intervene for their own interests with
the least possible risks and the greatest
chances Of success. In other words. they
must wait until what promises to be the
last three months Of the war. Any other
course would be nothing short Of disas-
trous. That may sound extremely selfish,
but no one Is making war for unselish
reasons. The Balkans have had their
lesson"
This statement confirms the generally
expressed belief in diplomatic circles that
the Balkan States are playing a waiting
game and that Teuton diplomacy is as
suming the ascendancy, backed UP as 1t
is by the strong influence of Austro-
German successes over the Russians. 1t
is now believed there is little probability
OF Rumania throwing her lot with Rus
sla. Every one talks in a new tone
about RumAnla in Budapest and Vienna
The Rumanian question is hardly being
considered as an Austro- Hungarian ques-
tion any more.
In May Rumania might have been
able TO obtain some territorial conces-
sions as her price to remain neutral
That is past, at least for the present.
