OVER 0,000 MEN
CRUSHED IN TRENCHES
Italians Make Excellent Use of Artil-
lery and Excel Opponents With the
Bayonet in the Frequent Charges
Which Are Made

ROME, via Paris, August g. - Let
ters received in Rome from officers at
the front agree that the fighting on
the lsonZo river and on the Carso
plateau may well be taken as an ex-
cellent example of the perfect realiza-
tion of the plans of the Italian com
manders. Other letters relate that u
large proportion Of the Austrian losses
were caused not by the Italian fire. but
by the hurting down of rocks Over
10000 men were thus crushed to death
in their trenches.
At San Martini no fewer than $500
Austrian dead were found in GROUP
of trenches, crushed by falling rocks.
The Italians, these letters set forth.
lost comparatively few men IN this
fighting. The reasons were two: FIRST
the excellent use of artillery. and. sec
ond, frequent charges with the bayonet
a weapon which the Italians apparent
ly use to better advantage than their
opponents. Nothing was left to chance,
but everything was worked ont with
mathematical precision.

BOSTON, July 17.-It is apparently just as difficult to diagnose the situa- ton now as it was several months ago There is undoubtedly not the liqui- dation for foreign account now that the new British war loan has been completed and yet there is a certain degree Of liquidation, and is likely to be for some time to come. People who view the situation unbiasedly that in the present condition of af- fairs patience is necessary. As to the security market the tone continues ir- regular strong one moment and weak the next. There may be accumulation of the standard stocks on scale down but certainly such buying is not followed up at rising prices The great strength is confined to the war stocks. These issues were active to- day and sold higher We stiH believe the coppers should be bought.

KIDNAPPING CHARGE MAY BE LODGED IN
 CASE AGAINST MAN
J. B. WeICh Arrested in BiSbee Yesterday Morning; Said to Have Brought Sixteen Year Old Girl From Tucson.

J. B. Welch, a stranger in Bisbee. was arrested by officer J. A. Kemp ton yesterday morning on information from Tucson. The definite nature Of the charge against the man is un- known but 1t is understood that it will be in the nature of some statu- tory onense
 From the correspondence, by mail and wire, had with officials in Tucson and with others, it would seem that Welch, who appears to be a man about thirty-fye years old, ran away from the Old Pueblo with a sixteen year old girl by the name of Frances Bai- ley
 The girls people became anxious about her and appealed to the officers of Tucson, Judge Comstock, of the Pima county metropolis. interested himself in the matter and wrote the local police officials The girls sister, living in Berkeley California, also wired to Bisbee in regard to the girl.
 When arrested Welch told the of hcer he had been married to the girl in Tucson by Judge Comstock. This was not true on the face of the matter so the man was taken to the city jail The Cochise County marriage records were also gone through in an effort to determine whether or not the pair had been married.
 The girl in the case, 1t would seem, left for Tucson yesterday morning Nothing has been heard from her or the officers or the charge up until last evening. It is thought probable that information will have been filed in Tucson and officers sent here 10 re- turn Welch to the place of the origin | ation of the complaint.
