SLOPES Of PODGORA
ARE BATHED IN BLOOD
Italians Suffer Heavy Losses in Their
1mpetuous Attacks on Aus
trian Works.

TURIN. August Italian troops have
stormed and captured the summit of
Monte San Michela. one of the peaks
dominating Gorilla. Dispatches re-
ceived here today said the Italian at
tacks have been renewed with a fierce
ness that makes the fall of the Aus
TRAN fortress in the near future prac-
tically a certainty.
The slopes of Podgora dominating
Gorilla from the west have literally
been bathed in blood since the Ber-
saglieri began their savage attacks
three days ago. Italian gunners first
wrecked Austrian concrete and ar
mored trenches half way up the
height, forcing the defenders to retreat
toward the crest. From this po-
sition, however, the enemy swept the
slopes with a hot fire. All reports
agree that the Italians suffered heavy
losses.

BERLIN EXPLAINS MOVE
-T0PART|T|ON THE K0NGO
Germany Proposed Its Division to
Great Britain and France
in 1914.

BERLIN, August q, via wireless to
Sayville, N. Y.-Among the news items
prepared by the Overseas News Agency
today for transmission abroad was the
following:
The North German Gazette, COM
menting officially on the assertion
made in the Belgian gray books that
Herr Won Jagow. the German foreign
secretary. proposed the partition of
Belgian Kongo between Germany,
France and Great Britain, to the ex-
clusion of Belgium, in the spring of
1914, remarks that certain information
about the negotiations between Great
Britain and Germany regulating con-
ditions in Africa seemed to have
reached Paris.
Jules Cambon, the French ambas-
sador at Berlin. asked for an explana-
ton of Herr Won Jagow. who replied
that no French rights were involved,
but that perhaps the kongo region
would be an appropriate subject for
general agreements between the three
countries.
Belgium. he said. probably would be
unable financially to meet the require
ments and 1t generally was doubtful
whether the small countries were finan-
cially strong enough to administer
large colonies. which opinion was
shared by Belgian publicists.
Reported to Belgium.
'The violation of Belgian rights. the
North German Gazette says, never was
intended or mentioned. The discussion
started from the fact that France dur
ing the Morocco conference offered
Germany her option and rights in or
to buy the Belgian Kongo if it was
salable.
Seemingly. NJ. Cambon." the news
paper says, "at once informed the Bel
gian minister Of his conversation with
Herr Won Jagow, disappearing its
tendencies, but the fact that Germany
early in 1914 began such colonial ne
gotiations is the best proof that she
had no thought of attacking the other
powers or of beginning a world con-
flagration."
