A furious battle is being fought
along the east bank of the Isonzo,
where Italian infantry crossed the
north from GOritz after occupying
PLAYA. The enemy has been rein
forced by detachments from the gar
rison at Goritz and has launched a de-
termined attack to drive the Bersag-
lieri back across the river.
From in front of Goritz, heavy bonn
bardment of the outer forts continues
night and day. To the south. another
Italian infantry force cut the rail-
way leading from Goritz to Trieste by
seizing the station at Sagrado and is
moving nOrthward.
The Italian armies north of Goritz
and near PLAYA, are descending upon
the Austrian lines of communication
from Goritz eastward. The official
statement from the war Office today
did not confirm the report that the
Austrian naval base at Pola has been
seriously damaged by Italian avia-
tors.
"In the Carnia region our offensive
continues" said the official statement
"Our troops advanced rapidly on Sat

MOTORCYCLE COP near
DIP IN CHRISTIANA

Prompt action on the part of Motor
cycle Officer Robertson yesterday after
noon in falling from his machine pre-
vented him from falling into the Chris
tiana river. As it was, the machine was
damaged, the speedometer being broken
beyond repair. At the time Robertson
met the accident he was riding along a
narrow path in Seventh street marsh to-
ward a crowd of crap players. The
grass was several feet high and sudden
ly the machine arrived at a large hole
which had been washed out by the tide
water.
Seeing that to continue would mean a
dip into the river, Officer Robertson
leaped from the moving machine down a
bank into the marsh. The front of the
machine was damaged. The crap play
ers escaped.
