| LONDON, Aug. 9.-The great Aus

fourteen months has blocked an
Italian invasion of Austria from the

/ Italian armies.
The information FIRST given the
United Press from a London SQUIRE
was confirmed few minutes late- By
the receipt of official dispatches from
Rome.
The Italians are believed to lave

early today, only few hours after
they had battered their way to VIC
tory at the Goritz bridgehead and had
captured Monte San Michele, over
looking Gor1tz from the south
Ten thousand Austrian prisoners
were taken, according to reports
reaching London.
News Of the Italian stroke, the
greatest single victory for the allies
since the triple offensive against the
central empires began, was received
here an hour after oticial word came
from PetroHad OF another striking
Russian victory.
Advancing swiftly toward the i'm
portant railway city Of Stanislau, the
Russians captured the town OF Tvs
mieuica-an advance OF six miles In
twenty-four hours-and series OF
minor villages and fortified river
heights in the immediate vicinity.
The capture of 400 Austro-German
prisoners in this region alone was
announced by the Patrograd war

On the Somme front only minor
operations were reported by the Brit
ish and French war Offices today, in
Guiding q slight British advance
north OF Poxieres. The French ON
cialy admitted the recapture OF the
Thiaumont work by. Germans north
east Of Verdun-
News OF the fall OF Goritx came AZ
no surprise TO London after word of
the capture of the bridgehead and
surrounding positions had been re-
ceiyed. a United Press dispatch
from Rome this forenoon said that the
fan Of Goritz itself was matter OF
but a few hours If 1t Is not already

The taking OF Goritx, the greatest
achievement for the Italian-army since
Italy declared war on Austria in May,
1915, opens the way for an Italian
advance southwark toward Trieste,
one OF the principal goals OF the
Italians.

OF important railways and the key to
the whole plain opening up to the
invasion OF Austria from the west
In earlier attacks upon the great
Austrian stronghold the Italians had
sacrificed many thousands Of lives.
The Austrians, too, have suffered
enormously in repelling Italian at
tacks.
The city Of Goritz has a popula-
ton Of about thirty thousand and IL
the capital Of province. 1t lies on
the east bank OF the Isonzo surround
ed on three sides by mountain ridges
and peaks which constitute it nat

Perhaps the most notable building
of the city is the ancient castle. for

Goritx, but in modern times convert
ed into a barracks. The city also has
a famous fourteenth century cathed-
raj and a fine museum.

the privy council. This ruling upholds
the decision of the lower court in favor
of Sir Edgar.
Sir Edgar speyer, partner in the
Speyer banking firm of London, New
York and Frankfort on Main. is Brit
ish citizen of German birth and parent
age. At the outbreak of the war he
was the subject of violent attacks In
England on account of his German ori-
gin. His enemies openly charged him
with disloyalty. but he was warmly
defended by Premier Asquith.
In May, 1915, Sir Edgar resigned his
membership in the privy council and
asked for the revocation of his baro-
netcy. The College of Arms decided
that there was no way in which the
banker could divest himself of his title
The question of his privy councilor-
ship remained in allegiance until No
vember. 1915. when the Anti-Germa
League brought action in the courts to
force his removal from the council:
The present decision is the outcome OF
that suit.
