LONDON, July 22.-Along the Austro-
italian front Rome claims the gain Of
part of the heights commanding Gorilla,
and the Isouzo bridges from the right
bank Of the river. The latest report
from Vienna declares all attacks on
Gorilla have been checked, and that a
height that the italians had captured
was retaken Vienna declares the
enemy has suffered enormous losses.
Attacking All Along Line.
The Italians are attacking all along
the Isonzo line. The Notifications they
are assaulting are in almost inaccesst-
BILE positions. and great difficulties are
being encountered in the efforts to take
them.
A dispatch to the Geneva Tribune
from Villach gives the following:
THE Austrian losses since July 13
along the 1sonzo have been 5000. OF
dore front $500 prisoners have been
taken and in the Carnic Alps 1900.
THE Austrian front on the Isonzo

The italians continue to progress
in Val Sugana.
with the aid of aeroplanes the
Italians located several Austrian bat

one, which comes in at night.

Turk Artillery Active.
The Turkish artillery continues to be
active. New batteries have been
brought up on the Asiatic shore and
in the rear of Seddul-Bahr. and since
July 8 have caused heavy losses in
men and material to the allies. whose
camps and bases are now constantly
under fire. Seven ammunition depots
of the allies were exploded during the
period from July to July 10. This
was due principally to the fire of Turk
ish batteries On the Asiatic shore.
Against these batteries. the artillery
of the allies is powerless, and an at
tack from them from sea Is prevented
by German submarines.
Deadly Device Of Turks.
According to wounded British SOL
diers who have been interviewed. it is
now a favorite device of the Turks to
abandon part of trench to the in
rushing allies and then cut them down
by a deadly enfllading fire.
The situation today Is the Same as It
was prior to June 81, when the allies
launched an offensive movement, which
collapsed.

ward Enemy Ships.

An aerial torpedo boat for attack on
ships in protected harbors Is projected
in patents just issued. 1t was learned
today. to Rear Admiral Bradley A
Fiske. now attached to the nav,
war college at Newport, but formerly
aid for operations.
The plan contemplates equipping

now under construction in this countrl
for the British government. with

the air craft would drop its deadly
passenger into the water just as 1t
would have been launched from a de-
stroyer The impact sets the tor
pedo's machinery in motion and It is
or at speed of more than forty knots
an hour toward the enemy ship.
Flying Torpedo Boat.
Admiral Fiske believes that the flying
torpedo boat would make it possible
to attack a fleet even within a land
locked harbor The range of the new
est navy torpedoes is 10000 yards, and
even the older types will be effective
at 1000 yards
Carried on a huge aeroplane, the
2,000-pound weapon would be taken
over harbor defenses at an altitude
safe from gunflre. Once over the bay,
the machine would glide down to
within ten or twenty feet of the water
the torpedo rudders would be set and
II would be dropped to do its work
while the aeroplane rose and sped
away.
Carry Over a Ton.
Aeroplanes to carry a ton of dead
weight have been perfected by several
countries. Russia is said to have sew
eral that will carry twenty men. and
the new British air craft probably will
have a similar capacity.
1t is said to be possible that a type
of radio controlled torpedo might be
employed, one aeroplane carrying a
torpedo and another the wireless ma
chinery to control the missiles flight
through the water. 1t is pointed out
| that Admiral Fiske secured patents
| on such a method of control In
| 1900. when he was a lieutenant com

Since the aerial torpedo plan was ad-
vanced, reports have come that Ger
man engineers were at work with a
somewhat similar scheme. 1t is pro-
| posed to drop from aeroplanes a tor

It Is proposed to transfer 600 fed

Attorney General Gregory can find a
way. He is anxious to have federal
prisoners under the charge of the De-
partment of Justice, to know what
happens to them and how they con-
duct themselves. He finds tho present
method unsatisfactory. What to do
with woman prisoners is the largest
part of the problem, for there is no
arrangement under the law for the
care Of feminine offenders in federal
prisons.
There are about 5000 prisoners in the
labor for federal zconvicts. the Attorney
General anticipates that he will require
Congressional legislation.
