ITALIANS DEEPEN
gorilla WEDGE
Consolidate the Recently
Won Positions on
CarSO

Paris. Oct. 1.-THE Italians have
pushed forward their lines IN the Co.
rizia sector end have consolidated all
their recently won positions on the
Carso Plateau. Swinging forward on
the Sober Ridge. southeast OF Gorizla,
on which they obtained grip several
days ago. King Victor's troops extended
their hold as far as the san Pietro-
Prebacina road. immediately north OF
the Wippach River.
This completes another step in the
movement t. drive wedge between
the Austrian positions north and south
Of the Carso Plateau and thus force
back the whole line. Apparently the
Austrian lines east Of Gorizia already
are exposed TO flank attacks to the
south. The ultimate aim OF the ltai-
ians Is TO force the enemy away from
the road 70 Trieste in the region OF
MOufalcone, and then launch the drive
on the port in earnest.
To-day's Austrian official eommunlca-
tion tells of the repulse OF Italian at
tempts to advance beyond the san
Grado-Aovavas line, on the Lower
Isonzo. and north of the Wippaeh
Bersaglieri suffered severe losses IN
assaults against the Austrian positions
north of LocviZza, the statement adds.
The Italian statement to-day says:
In the Trentino there were artillery
duels in the Pasubio area. At the head
Of the Vanio- Cismon Valley during the
night of October Is an attempted at
tack against our positions on Busa
Alta and Point 2,056 was checked. In
the Upper But Valley (Carnio Alps
the enemy artillery was very active.
Our batteries replied by Smelling Hut
ment on the opposite slopes of Monte
PalpiccolO.
Southeast of Gorilla our troops ex
tended their occupation of the Sober
ridge northward as far as the road
from San Pietro to Prebaoina. Some
prisoners were taken as well as a large
quantity Of arms and ammunition
which had been abandoned by the
enemy. On the Carso Plateau the day
was comparatively calm, and we took
advantage of it to strengthen and con-
solidate positions recently occupied.
Our recommending parties captured
about one hundred prisoners, most of
whom were wounded.
The Austrian statement to-day
reads;
The enemy's offensive on the coast
al front was weaker than on previ-
Gus Gays. All the enemy's attempts
to advance beyond the line OF San
Grade Dimcraa Novavas collapsed un-
der our fire. In the afternoon the
45th Infantry Division, reinforced by
Bersaglieri, attacked our positions
north of Locvicza. This attack col
lapsed, with very heavy losses, only a
few of the enemy's troops returning
to their positions. The Landwehr In
fantry Regiment No. q and sections
of the 46th Infantry Regiment espe-
cially distinguished themselves.
As unsuccessful as in the northern
sector of the Carso Plateau were re-
peated enemy attempts on the south
ern wing and north OF the Nippaco,
against Bigia and Vertoiba. On the
Pasubio (Trentino) our troops re-
pulsed two attacks on the Roite ridge.

FOE MUST YIELD,
CASTELNAU SAYS
"Have Germans by Ears;
Will Shake Their Heads
Till They Give In"

Chantilly, France, Oct. 1--we now
have the Germans by the ears, and Will
continue to shake their heads until
their brains are added and they Will
be compelled to give in"
These words were spoken to-day by
General Edouardt Castelnau, Chief OF
staff of all the French armies in the
field, to the American and British war
correspondents.
THE great question at issue" con-
tinued General Castenau, "was whether
we should be the slaves of the Ger
mans. We shall not be. We will die
on the battlefield, but we shall never
he their slaves"
Veterans Saved Nerdun
General Castelnau had just Wit
messed review of the lst Infantry
Regiment, which, despite over two
years Of constant campaign, during
which d had distinguished itself on
many battefelds, and to-day had had
It's regmental flag decorated by Gen
eral J0fre, appeared on parade as
though fresh from the barrack room
Many of the officers and men were
personally decorated by Joifre, who EN-
braced them.
General Csstelnau, who has more in
innate knowledge Of General Johre's
plans than any one else and knows
every branch of the army thoroughly
spoke with great feeling of the fra
ternity between the officers and men
He pointed with pride to the veteran
soldiers who had just passed, saying:
} at is to men ike these that we owe
thanks for causing the disastrous fail
ure of the great effort of the Germans
at Verdun. Encouraged by the i'm
mense efforts made by our British com
rades, we she'll 90 on 10 the end ana
to the final victory which is certain"
Praises British Armies
Admiringly General Castelnau re-
ferred TO the new British armies, say
ing: 49,,
"They are formed of splendid ma
terial, and entered the fight with
keenness which surprised the Germans
and have become a feature OF over
whelming Importance in the war.
"The main preoccupatlon OF the Ter
mans at present is the British armies
They already know the French army
They had hoped to exhaust its strength
but they have learned otherwise. Now
they lind themselves faced by strong
well trained British armies, which they
/ ind too much for them.
"The effect on them of the new stu
alton can be seen best from the speech
of Herr Scheidemaun, who has greatly
changed his tune since the beginning
of the war;
General Castelnau, like General
Joffre. is not a talker, but man OF
deeds lie is much loved by his sol
diers, despite his stern discipline
Since the beginning of the war three
of his sons have been killed, while
fourth is seriously wounded and
prisoner.

U. TO QUESTION
BERLIN ON RAID
Continued from page l

can journal as to whether it is neces-
sary that our coast be made base Tor

No sensible American citizen will be-
lieve that a secret depot for supplying
German submarines could be estao-

Cautiously opposed to these many
complaints is the fact that since the

York so closely that they could be seen
from the roofs of tall buildings with

ROBBERS REvEL
In RICH HOMES
Thieves Drink Wine and
Wreck Furniture-Laid-
laws Suffer

Summarizing in New York has been a
luxurious event for burglars-at least
those who picked out the Central Park
East section for their residence.
1t become known yesterday that a
gang Of thieves, who inflicted greater
loss on a number of families through
acts of vandalism than through actual
thefts, spent riotous period in sew
eral homes in the ultra-rich neighbor..
hood in which reside such families OF
wealth as the Rockefellers, the Astors
and the Havemeyers.
Vandals Wreck Homes
The crooks gained entrance to the
houses after the families had gone to
their summer estates. They cooked
their meals and ate them from the pots
and pans in luxurious drawing rooms,
leaving the utensils and greasy bits of
refuse to litter the rare Persian car
pets. They hacked paintings, smashed
costly vases and ornaments, battered
antique furniture, slept on lace can
opied beds with their shoes on, raided
wine cellars, and poured what they
could not drink over the rich floor COW
erings.
A large number of houses are said
70 have been entered. but the police
, have kept the iobberies secret in all
save two or three instances. One home
entered Wa; that of James Lees Laid
law, the banker, and another was that
of Alfred v off, a broker, at az East
Seventy -sixth Street. Both homes were
found to have been turned topsy turvy
and strewn with the debris of wrecked
furniture and broken vases and orna-
ments.
Steal Few Jewels
From the Ladlaw home, to which
they gained entranc" through the door
on top of an old-fasL oned stoop, which
has not been removed, they carted away
a minor quantity of silverware. From
! the Wolf home, which they entered by
smashing an iron basement gate, they
stole about 81 900 worth of trinkets, ig-
noring articles of greater value.
Jewelry worth $4,000 was stolen from
the bachelor apartment of Gus L. Ro-
senberg, at % East Fifty-fourth Street

1907 has not been accepted by some
of the beligerents, the note says the
Allies are prepared to accept the prin-
ciple, but cannot abandon their right
to prevent the fraudulent use by the
enemy of neutral mails for belligerent
purposes.
Cite Lincoln Proclamation.
An examination of precedents is held

claimed the right TO intercept enemy
correspondence in neutral mails PresI-
dent Lincoln's proclamation of May IL,
1862, which declared things and infor-
nation as equally contraband IF war
is cited as is the fact that intercepted
enemy correspondence was used in the
United States courts during the Civil
War and laid before Congress.
The contention Of the United States,
the note argues, that money order lists
should be classed as genuine mail and
not as merchandise does not take into
consideration that such lists sent from
the United States to Germany aud

"The German custom Of abusing reu-
trail mails and of forwarding enemy
correspondence, even official correspon-
dence bearing upon hostilities, under
apparently inoffensiye covers, sent

pervision Of mails in transit to or from

is not used as a cloak for such abuses,
