$4,000 Prisoners Taken.
Aviators Praised.

On the French Front Saturday,
Aug. 25.--By the Associated Press
The Germans ncryously, but ineffectu-
ally, bombarded their lost positions
around Vcrdun throughout the day,
without any infantry attack. Not a
single German now remains south of
Forges brook. The French offensive
of only four days actual fighting re-
suited in the rccapture with an in
conceiviably low casualty list of po-
sitions TO gain which cost the armies
OF the German crown prince more than
three months of constant combats ut
<he expense of hundreds of thousands
of lives.
French commanders give high praise
to the work of their aviators, whom
they regard as having played large
part in winning the victory. They not
only fought off German airmen, but
regulated the fire of the artillery.

$4,000 PRISONERS
TAKEN SINCE START
French Keep Up Assaults
Against Crown Princes
Army at Verdun.

= Rome. Aug. aG.-Thc Italians have
made further advance on the 1sonzo
front north of Corizia, closely pursuing
the AuStrians, the war office an
nounces. Austrian counter attacks on
the carso were repulsed. The num-
&ber of prisoners has been increased to
more than $4,000 in addition to which
a great amount of booty has been cap
tured. The statement follows:
The battle is beginning to reveal
itself in it's vastness. The action north
Of Corizia from August 10 onward may
be cpitomized as follows:
The gallant troops of the second
amy. after having their own Il
bridges across the lsonzo under the
fire of the enemy, passed over the
river in the night of August 1919
and proceeded to the attack. They
went around the three defensive lines
of Sommer kobclik and Madoni which
crossed there. Contemporaneously
they attacked the same lines from the
front and broke through in spite of
the enemy's most stubborn defense.
The consequence of this bold maneuver
was the capture Of Monte Santo.
Continuing Advance.
Our troops now are continuing their
advance toward the eastern border of
Bainsizza plateau, hotly pursuing the
enemy, who is making the most vio-
lent resistance with large parties of
machine gunners and with light ar
tillery.
On the Carso yesterday the battle
came to a standstil temporarily. Our
small advances rectified the captured
positions, which were consolidated.
and the enemy attempted counter at
tack failed under our fire.
$4,000 Prisoners Taken.
The prisoners thus far number GOO
officers and $4,000 men. We have cap
tured IS guns, including two sos milli-
metre mortars and many guns of me-
dunn calibrc. Il great number of horses
an airplanc in perfect condition. many
trench mortars and machine guns and
all kindsNnpf war material. including
several moVpr tractors loaded with am
munition.
The enormous difficulty of sending
supplies to our troops across Il zone
iib which there arc no roads has been
surmounted in part because Of the
large supply depots abandoned by the
enemy during his retirement.
