THE ITALIAN ATTACKS
Coastal Railway and Supply

Destroyed.

Grado. Gulf of Trieste CORES
pondence)-Britishm monitors played an
important part In the Italian advance
upon Trieste. They took up positions
midway up the gulf where their guns
could bear upon the aeroplane hangers
and the multifarious military estab-
lishments which surround Prosecco
and Contovello, twin villages upon the
main road and railway to Trieste both
constituting important depots for the
Austrian air service and general sup
plies.
When the first gun spoke a great
shell went hooting into the distance
and an Italian scouting hydroplane
duly marked it down upon the rail-
way line south of Prosecco. The sec
ond shot landed a little north of the
first. hitting the railway again at a
point where a Trieste-bound train was
passing. The train vanished in ruin.
Then other monitors arrived at their
stations, and the bombardment con-
tinued in a tremendous, measured
rhythm. Each monitor fired two
hours. They smashed the hangers
flattened the railway station of Pro-
secco, destroyed the railway and VIA
duct, and produced a great fire neal

down from the cab to introduce me to
the train conductor. The latter hand

spoke to me about my ride In the
cab.
When the time was up Demmer
climbed back. set his levers, and we
pulled away from the station. I
watched the conductor swing aboard

Charles became only an incident.
The cities and their outlying dis
tricts shaken off, Demmer became more
daring with his throttle, opening II
wider and wider and balancing the re-
verse lever the while. The rocking Of
the car became lurch, as the road
bed flooded by underneath us In ever
increasing velocity. The headlight sent
simmer of light ahead over the
ri
as we flew past.
Faster and faster grew our pace. In
perturbable, Demmer sat on his perch
making the endless adjustments Of lev
ers and valves until the steady rate Of
go miles an hour had been attained.
Like a giant wave sliding into us,
the track from the end of the search

come veering down under US. We
could never mount to the crest of the
wave. and we could never gain on it.
A few lights marked a little by
station. In minute we were upon 1t,
and the few people there huddled
against the wall to shield themselves
from the rush of air as we smashed
past with a roar Of connecting rods and
drivers. The fields were flooded with
the light of the spring moon, which

the hay stacks, and the horses roam

the rOadbed was going by
In an endless roar.
His hair tinged with gray, prompted
me to ask Demmer how many years |
work was necessary before q man

Piled that at least 20 years of mans |
