DE KAY WILL BE TRIED
FOR FRAUD IN FRANCE

London, Aug. John Wesley De Kay,
of New York, was again arraigned IN
the Bow Street police court yester-
dav. for hearing on the demand Of
the French government for his extradi-
ton on a charge of fraud.
The magistrate ruled the evidence
showed there was proper cause for
trial. and ne accordingly committed the
prisoner for extradition. The attorneys
for De Kay filed notice Of appeal.
The case against Dekay goes back TO
the fall of 1915. when he was accused
by the French government OF having
participated with a Frenchman, T.. 5.
Charlier. in obtaining $4,000 francs
from Belgium on false pretences IN
connection with the sale Of rifles and
ammunition, which Dekay had pur-
chased for the Mexican government,
but which Belgium desired for use in
the Congo.
The munitions at the time were in
Spain. IL was charged the 3l5,OOO
francs were advanced as Partial pay.
ment by Belgium, and that in case OF
non delivery of the munitions, Belgium
was to get back her deposit, less the
expenses incurred by Dekay and his
associates in endeavoring to get he
arms out Of Spain. 1t was alleged the
arms were never delivered, and that no
part Of the money was refunded.

Boston, Aug. 8.-While IL was gen.

the German submarine Bremen will

Marine observers who picket the Mas
sachusetts coast had their glasses
pointed east by northeast. They figured
that if the Bremen were one of the
submersibes picked up off Cross ISL
and, on the Maine coast yesterday she
ought to turn Cape Ann this afternoon.
She could hug the coast from Cross
Island down and have all the water
she needed to draw within the three
mile limit.
This being the case, shipping men
were puzzled to know why the advent
urer should continue submerged when
she could, with perfect security from
hostile interference, come into port
with colors flying. II was suggested
that her captain might wish to keep
his course secret.

Until this was done no step could be
taken at the Isonzo, because the Aus,
trian blow in the Trentino menaced
the rear and the communications Oh
the Isonzo and Alpinee forces to the
east.
But for nearly two months the Ital-
ians have been steadily retaking their
lost positions between the Adige ana
the Brenta, in the Trentino district.
Apparently they now feel that their
rear and their rail communications by
Vicenza and Verona are safe from an
attack from the Trentino. Accordingly,
they have resumed their thrust at the
Isonzo, given over last fall, nave
stormed Sabotino and San Michele
both and thus have forced the Gorlzia
gateway. Rome does not claim Pod
CORA, but reports that the Italians are
shelling Goriza before storming 1t.
Great Barrier Broken.
Apparently there is still open to the
Austrians the line of retreat along the
railroad that connects Gorilla with
Trieste and runs first east and then
south. But the Italians, who have
taken the Carso position of Monte san
Michele, are actually nearer Trieste,
and if the Austrians are routed may be
able to come south along the shore,
which is skirted by the main Trieste
Venice railroad and cut of the Aus
trians from Trieste.
Ali Of this is unlikely. Presumably
the Austrians have other positions
prepared on the Carso peninsula and
the Italians will presently be held up.
But they have now burst the great bar
rier; they have pushed through the
chief Austrian defence. which the Aus
trians have successfully defended Tor
more than year; they have captured
more prisoners than in any previous
engagements, and they have taken pay
for their reverses in the Trentino two
months ago.
Everything that has happened since
the Allied offensive began has lndicat-
ed that the Central Powers are holding
lines too long for their present num-
bers. Apparently, the Austrians were
caught off their guard in the GorlZla
line, as they were taken unawares IN
Volhynia and Galicia by the Russians.
Apparently, they had reduced their
troops on the Isonzo beyond the SAFETY
point TO reinforce their troops in the
east, as they had previously reduced
their eastern armies too Ear TO permit
them to make their drive in the Tren-
tino.
II is too soon to estimate the extent
of the Gorilla victory. but it is not too
soon to emphasize its relation to the
whole Allied plan and its new revela-
ton of the decline in Austro- German
strength as the first week of the third
year of the war ends.

Just west of Sabotino, that is, be-
hind the Austrian line. the river
Isonzo energies from the mountains
and flows south, first straight, and
then bending west, where it touches
the foot of the Carso Plateau. Half
way between the mountains and the
sea is the city Of Gorilla, which lies
in the Isonzo. and in front of it is the
hill of Podgora, which is west OF IT,
The Austrian position actually rested

Gorilla the Key.
The Italians had managed to get
across the Isonzo north Of Sabotino IN
the mountains. but they could not get
further east. They had also got
across 10 the south of Gorilla and
clambered up the first slopes OF the
Carso Plateau, only to be stopped by
the San Michele peninsula. As long
as the Austrans were able to hold
Gorilla the Italians, who were less
than twenty miles from Trieste, were
unable TO advance from Montfalcone'
on the first slopes of the Carso, De-
cause their flank and rear were ex-
posed to attack from Gorizia. lhelr
true objective was Trieste, their road

coast. but il was necessary TO burst
open the whole gate, from the noun,
tains to the sea, before they could
get on.
Last September. when the Russians
were in straits, the Italians made
desperate attempt to get started; they
beat against the Gorilla gateway for
days and suffered the most san
culinary losses, but they did not get
the three main posts of the gateway,
Sabotino. Michele or Podgora. Co
rizia, which lies in a pocket-like val
ley between the Julian Alps and the
Marso plateau, they shelled to ruins,
but were unable to take, because it
lay behined the Austrian line.
Italian Rear in Danger.
Now, it is necessary also to recall
first the progress of recent events. In
the spring Austria sent a great force
down the Adige Valley and attempted
to enter the Venetian Plain. She
made real progress and was approach
ing success, when the Russian vic
tories stayed her hand. Since June
the Italians have been steadily re-
gaining lost ground and closing the
gaps by which Austria struck south.
