terday by submarine at point
forty miles southwest of Fastnet,
off the coast of Ireland.
The sea was calm at the time.
The crew at once took to the

HUNS DESTROYING BRIDGES

An official communication from
Rome indicates that the Italian inva-
sion of Austria has been extended over
almost the whole of the Austro- Italian
frontier According to this statement,
the Italians have seized a number of
towns nea + the border. and have
forced their way through mountain
defiles, occupying strategic positions.
Apparently there has been little heavy
fighting thus far. although in one in
stance a bayOnet encounter Is mem
toned. 1t is stated the Austrians re-
tired everywhere, destroying bridges
as they fell back.
The new attack of General Macken-
sen against the Russian line north of
Przemysl in Galicia, is reported from
Vienna and Berlin to have been at
tended by conspicuous success. The
war office at Petrograd. however,
states that attacks on the Russian line
along the San River were scattered
and comedies no new victories to the
Austro-German armies.
In the Dardanelles
In the Dardanelles the Allies are
officially reported to be slowly ad-
vancing against the stubborn opposi-
ton of the Turks, who have been
granted an armistice to bury 1900 of
their dead in front of their trenches.
Along the western line of battle the
Germans hold trench east of Ypres
which they captured Monday morning
from the British and held against
counter attack during the day Yes
terday the French offensive north of
Arras developed new vigor with the
result that a number of German posi-
tions were captured. This French ad-
vance. like the German move against
the British, is not of wide extent, but
it included some formidable works.
The illness of King Constantine OF
Greece is the feature OF the diplomatic
situation in the Near East. The death
of this ruler, 1t is argued here, would
end Greece's chief reason for main
tanning neutrality.
