German General Staff To Conduct
 Italian Campaign.

BERLIN, May 24.-The German general staff will take command of the invasion of Italy. The war will be carried immediately into Italy and if possible held in the enemy's coun- try. The Austrian frontier is strong ly fortified and little fear is shown here of the outcome. Military experts predict that Italy will be unable to invade any of the Austrian provinces because of the strong field forts and trenches which have been built.
 Austrian Fleet At PoIa.
 The Austrian fleet is at Pola and is expected to remain in port unless favorable opportunity should come for an attack on Italian coast cities or to engage the Italian fleet on equal terms. The submarines are depend ed upon to strike at the Italian pa trol ships and to send transports to the bottom should an attempt he made to reinforce the Montenegrins.

 ROME, May 24.-For the past ten months the government has been straining every effort to bring the army and navy into first-class con- dition. Millions of dollars have been spent in buying new equipment. The artillery department has furnished the army with the latest guns and the Italian field piece, patented after the famous French field gun, is said to be the finest in Europe. Stores of ammunition have been concentrated and factories have been working day and night to increase the output. One hundred thousand horses have been purchased in America and twice as many have been brought from Af- rica. The navy has been drilling con- stantly and is in first-class condi- tion and expects soon to engage the Austrian fleet or lombard the forts.

But Smash by English and French
on West Front Continues
Undiminished.
HEAVY LOSSES ARE INFLICTED.
Teutons Appear Unable to Regain
ANY of Ground Lost During the
Earlier Fighting.
HEAVY LOSSES ARE INFLICTED.

London, Sept. 2S.-The great al
lied drive on the west front contin-
ues with undiminished force but ap.
parently the Germans have checked
the French and English advances at
certain positions. Advices from the
front continue extremely meager
the British official dispatches telling
merely of heavy losses inflicted up.
on the Germans northwest of HUI
lucb, where the Teutons made strong
counter attacks.
Not even the German reports
claim the regaining of any ground
and it is assumed that the allies
still hold all they were able to take
in the first two days of the great
drive.
General Joffres latest bulletins,
telling of the French activities, do
not reveal any further French gains
but state that many prisoners were
taken by the French.
1t is generally assumed here, in
the absence of knowledge of the al
lies plans, that the fighting has
reached the point where attacks and
counter attacks will be continuous
along the front for days to come.
It is estimated the prisoners cap
tured by the allies during the rush
will reach a total of more than 23.-
600, but this is offset to some extent
by the German claims that nearly
1000 French and British fell into
their hands.
Denied further news of the great
battle, England is awaiting develop
ments with an eagerness not equal
led since the critical days when the
Germans fell back from the gates Of
Paris. In the meantime the public
is warned to expect heavy losses and
that the Germans, already 100000
strong from the coast to the Swiss
frontier, may throw reinforcements
into the line for a struggle, the like
of which even this bloody war has
not yet seen.
Optimists also are reminded that
the Germans are likely to put the
most dependence on their second
and third line defenses, relying up
on machine guns, which means that
a difficult task is before the allies.
The fighting in the eastern thea
ter has brought no important
change, but England regards the po-
sitjon of the Russian arms as i'm
proving daily, which strengthens
the hope here that Germany dare not
weaken her 700 mile eastern front
in order to fill the gaps in the west.
The Bulgarian situation remains
obscure, resting as it did last week,
on the oft repeated assurances OF
Sofia that the country intends mere
~ to maintain an armed neutrality.
