School Teacher Drags Lake
Rescuer to Death.

Alberta Isabelle Ludlum and Ade-
laide lockwood, young school teachers,
who were camping at Hawthorne Lake,
n. j., were drowned yesterday after
noon while other members Of the party,
including Mrs. w. T. Ludlum, Miss Lud-
lum's mother, looked on helplessly.
Both young women were excellent
swimmers. Miss Lockwood, however,
had a weak heart. She plunged into the
water, and when only twenty feet from
shore called for help. Miss Ludlum, who
went through high school and normal
school in the same class with Miss
Lockwood, swan to her side. The fran
tic swimmer engaged the rescuer In .
death grip.
Half a dozen young women, with Mrs
Ludlum and Mrs. Edward Cardinal, VINO
formed the camping party, clustered on
the shore. At first they could not
realize the peril of the situation. None
of them could swim. Before help could
be summoned both young women had
sunk. Their bodies were recovered.
Miss Ludlum lived at 62S East Iwen-
ty-rourth Street, Paterson, and MISS
Lockwood at 166 Fair Street, Paterson.

Meanwhile the British. who advanced

Combles from the north. Before long

Win 17.Mile Line on
Dniester-AdVance

London. Aug. 8.-Smashing their way
through a seventeen-mile line south OF
the Dniester, the Russian troops have
driven close TO Stanislau, on the rail-
way from Kolomea to Lemberg. Ihree
concerted advances have brought the
Cars forces to within fifteen miles OF
the town.
This victory offers double menace

Nine villages were won in the hgnt-

the Austrians TO flight. Inc Russian
cavalry gave pursuit, with the prospect
~ forcing another complete rout'
us.rwhile another offensive is pro-
.ood;rg south from Brody against Won
po,hmer,s left flank. In this attack
which won a series of villages about
Zalocze, on the Sereth, the objective is
the Tarnopol-Lemberg railway. The
cutting of this line would give the
Russian troops an opening for thrust
directly westward toward Lemberg.
The threat TO Lemberg grows hourly
and unofficial reports have it that the
evacuation Of the city has been ordered
already. According to Bucharest ad-

Serious Menace to Trieste.

Serious Menace to Trieste.
The Italian successes have Gre
ated very serious menace to
Trieste and prepared the way for an
invasion of Austria. In fierce fight
ing in the last two days, Cadorna's
men captured Monte Sabotino, north
of Gorilla, and Monte San Michele,
on the Carso plateau, lying to the
south. This gives them control of
the Gorilla bridgehead, one of the
most important of the Austrian de-
fences along the Isonzo.
Gorilla, lying between the noun
tains on the north and the Carso
plateau on the south, blocked the
road to Trieste. The Italians a year
ago won hold on the Carso plateau,
but they could not advance on Trieste
because such move laid their flank
and rear open to attack by the Aus
trians at Gorilla.
The Russian victories have drawn
heavily on the Austrian reserves.
Those victories were continued to-
day, and the Slav threat continues
to grow. General Koevess, a very
able general, was transferred from
the Trentino front to Galicia, in an
effort to stem the Russian tide. Aus
trian troops were transferred from
the Isonzo front to the Galician line.
First Success on Sunday.
Against the weakened Isonzo line
Cadorna attacked last Friday. The first
success was won on Sunday, when in
the Monfalcone zone, south Of Gorizia.
the Italians made notable progress
and clinched their hold on the Carso
plateau. The time had then come 10
renew the frontal attack on Gorizia
aiming the blow at Podgora. directly
west of the stronghold and the heights
guarding it on the aanks.
The battle for these salient pointx
has been raging for the last two DAYS,
with the Austrian line crumblng grad
ually before the unrelenting blows. In
front Of Gorilla the conflict continues.
but the important heights controlling
the approaches to the stronghold are
now in the Italians possession. Ca
dorna's guns are shelling the town,
clearing the way for the final thrust
that will carry it.
When Gorilla falls the way will be
open for an invasion Of Austria. With
the surrounding heights, the town
forms the gateway into Austria. Its
surrender will make possible both an
advance on Trieste and a new offensive
eastward along the Carso plateau into
Austria proper.
Great Number Of Prisoners.
As significant as the capture Of the
Gorilla bridgehead is the great. num-
Der Of prisoners taken by the Italians.
The Austrians. according TO dispatches
from Rome, are still yielding by the
thousands. The enemy, Rome reports.

The Crown Prince seems unable to
hold any gains his fierce attacks may
win for him.
The British possession of Pozieres
and the Longuevsl ridge is bearing
immediate fruit. Hsig's attacking
wedge is now broadening eastward
from the Trones Wood and causing
an increasing menace to Combles. The
Germans are making fierce attempts to
recapture the important ground they
have lost, but all of these efforts have
been frustrated.
British Trenches Taken.
Their failure in four attacks north
of Pozieres yesterday left the Kaiser's
troops still undaunted. Using flaming
darts, they assailed the British line
here four more times to-day. The first
three attacks were thrown back with
heavy loss, but the fourth succeeded in
penetrating the British trenches along
a fifty-yard front. The battle here is
still in progress.
All the unofficial reports from Haig's
front dwell on the spirit of absolute
elation with which the British troops
are fighting. All are imbued with the
feeling that individually and collec-
lively they are superior to the Ger
mans.
Timing his strokes carefully with
those of his Allies on the south. Haig
is forging ahead northward and east
ward. The Germans defending the re-
naming approaches TO the Albert pla-
teau are exhausting themselves IN coun-
ter attacks. London expects before long
another sharp thrust northward from
Pozieres that will put Msrtinpuich and
