Italians Make Steady
Gains Towards Triest
Big Guns are Active, but There H..
Been no Renewal of Fighting on
Large Scale is Report

London, Sept. 5.-The major opera.
tion Of the Riga district and the great
Italian campaign for Triest continue
to furnish the chief developments of
military interest.
The Italian air service seems to
have effected notable damage upon
the Austrian naval base at Pola. Rome
reports the dropping Of nine tons of
bombs by thirty Italian airplanes on
Pola, causing heavy damage and large
fires.
Press dispatches from the Austro.
Italian front reports the Italians con-
tinuing their steady advance in the
operation for Triest, pushing their
lines ahead in the Brestovizza valley,
in the district south of Gorilla and
working further forward eastward
over the great Bainsizza plateau.
The fall of Monte San Gabrielle, the
chief remaining vantage point of the
Austrians, aside from their Cars0
strongholds, is considered only q mat.
ter of time.
There has been no renewal of the
Flanders fighting on large scale as
yet, although the intensity of the ar
tillery fire suggests that this is i'm.
pending. The British, however, are
biting further into the German posi-.
tions at points on this front and a
slight advance of the British lines
| northeast of St. Julien is announced.
Petrograd announces that the Rus.
sian retirement in the Riga region is
being continued. German ships are
shelling the coast. Berlin announces
that several thousand Russians have
been captured and in their great
Jarged rived drive $50 guns were
taken.

DRIVE ON PETR0GRAD
Next GERMAN MOVE

ondon, Sept. GA quick, hard
drive from Riga to Petrograd is Lon.
don's forecast of Germany's Russian
campaign. Riga, Russia's big Baltic
port, is in the hands of the Germans.
Military experts believe Germany
will do her utmost in speed.
The Germans must go far in the
320-mile journey toward the Russian
capital before freezing weather sets
in if they expect to rely on the Ger.
man Baltic fleets aid.
They may also be expected to hurry
with all speed to cover as much
ground as possible before General
Korniloff can carry out his palms for
regeneration Of the Russian army.
Retreating Russians are burning vii.
lagos and laying waste the country.
If the Russians manifest a proper
fighting spirit military authorities
agree they will easily block the Ger.
man drive.
Russians Aided by Nature.
The ground from Riga to Petrograd
is of nature lending itself readily to
defense.
Small bodies of Russian troops could
play havoc with greatly superior at.
tacking forces attempting an advance
over such broken terrain.
In the opinion OF observers here,
much depends on the Russian fleet
stopping the expected German drive.
If mutinous sailors can be quelled and
discipline and fighting spirit restored
the Russian feet could effectually
hamper-perhaps prevent-operations
by a German fleet in the Baltic.
No attempt was made to minimize
the effect OF Riga's fall on Germans.
Battered badly on the west front by
British and French drives of the last
few months and with Austria losing
ground every hour under the italian
assault, the German militarists were
badly in need of German victory to
hearten the public. They will make
the most Of Riga's fall.
