FIERCE FIGHTING ON the OiROfstllts

London. May 25. Austria
struck first with her navy and
aircraft along the Italian east
coast. Italy countered quickly
by throwing troops across the
northeastern frontier, occupying
Austrian territory along the river
lsongo, Thus Italy has appar-
emily forestalled Won Hinden-
burg, who is commanding the
Austro German troops on the
new front. Rome officially an
nounces that the Italians have
occupied a number of towns and
compelled the Austrians to re-
treat.
The rapid stroke by Italian
arms apparently indicates long
preparation. The first Itali n
bulletin indicates that two move
ments were inaugurated. one
northward toward the Barnic
Alps and the other through Friu-
Ii toward Triest. on the Austrian
peninsula. where severe fighting
is expected. Austria calls the
Italian military operations 'bor-
der skirmishes.
The Germans today claim sue
cesses in the east and west, not
ably around Ypres and north of
Przemysl. The British war of
flee admits that the English have
been unable to reform the lines
dented by the Germans east of
Ypres.
A British statement announces
that Germans gas attackts can be
met and defeated with due pre-
cautions" but does not explain.
Fighting on the Dardanelles
has been sanguinary. Nine hun
dred and nineteen casualties
among the Australians are re-
ported tonight. The Turkish losses
are apparently greater. Three
thousand were buried Sunday.

reason for issuing this order.
On the afternoon that the

There is much talk in the city
of the need of an additional fiie

In this section there are quite a
number of valuable buildings
