ITALIANS ON VERGE
Of 4 BIG VICTORY
Austrians Resist Desperately,
But Pressure Against Them
Is Becoming Decisive.
SAN GABRIELLE is DOOMED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, September Italian pressure
against the Austrians in the region
northeast of Gorilla is becoming de,
cisiye, the war Office announced today
The enemy has suffered extremely heavy
losses for several days in his desperate
resistance.
The statement says:
Northeast of Gorilla the enemy, hav-
ing suffered heavy losses for several
DAYS, is making desperate resistance
against our pressure, which is continu-
ing decisively."
UDINE, Italy, September About
10000 prisoners have been taken to
date by the Italians in their present Of
fensive, while the total losses OF the
Austrians are estimated at 10000
The Austrian plan now seems to be to
abandon counter attacks and remain on
the defensive along the eastern ridge
of the Bainsizza plateau, where their
positions such as Ceroek. Draga and
Volnik, about 1000 feet, high, dominate
those occupied by the Italians by sew
eral hundred feet. at the same time
centering the efforts of their best
troops on the Carso in the hope OF
checking the slow but determined
march of the Italians toward Trieste.
The BrestovizZa valley, north of the
Hermada. has been transformed into an
inferno, with thousands of guns pour
ing shells from all directions into 1t,
while the Austrian infantry incessantly
is attacking. The Italians have with
stood their no less than nine rushes OF
the infantry from the opposite lines.
Sometimes their forces have had to
withdraw slightly, but Immediately
have recovered the los. ground.
From the Hermada south to the sea
the Austrian infantry is attacking with
the same fiercenesS and the battle IS
raging uninterruptedly. The present
effort is considered the maximum one
of which the Austrians are capable.

BAD SHELL TANGLE
Situation Complicated by Gen.
Crozier's Testimony of Ab-
sence of Trouble.
COOPER BLOCKS MEASURE

The defective ammunition sent TO
Gen. Pershings army in France took a
place of importance in the House today
when it became necessary for Chairman
Dent Of the military affairs committee
TO resort to steam roller methods to get
action on his resolution to investigate
the facts connected with the manufac-
ture of the slow firing cartridges.
Representative Cooper of Wisconsin, in
ttmating that the members of the proposed
committee are socially and officially con-
nected closely with the War Department.
blocked the adoption of the Dent reso-
luton, after which Representative Dent
framed a special rule and has asked
the rules committee TO bring it in TO the
House with a favorable report
The ammunition situation was COM
plicated further by a statement from
Representative Moore of Pennsylvania
that he could produce evidence from
employees of the Frankford arsenal.
in Pennsylvania, that all OF the
ammunition was properly. inspected,
and a further puzzle turned up in the
testimoney of Gen. Crozier, published
today by the committee on appropria-
tions. In that testimony, dated August
4 Gen Crozier made the statement be-
fore the subcommittee which framed
the big deficiency bill that no special
difficulty was being found in tho out

Clinging to San Gabrielle.

Although the Austrians apparently
still retain a percartous hold upon
Monte San Gabrielle. their last remain
ing mountain stronghold northeast OF
Gorizia, the end is in sight for them IN
this region, according to Italian belle1
Gen. Cadorna's report today shows the
Austrians are staggering under the
heavy losses which the incessant Ital-
ian pressure of the last few days has
inflicted upon them.
The Italian reports are invariably
conservative, and it has been noted
that Gen. Cadorna has habit of with
holding an announcement until he Is
sure of his ground. The confident tone
of today's communique from Rome,
therefore, is considered significant.
According to the strategical experts,
Gen. Cadorna has only to obtain a Sc
cure hold on Monte San Gabrielle to
give him complete dominance of the
Bainsizza plateau and the country far
to the south. making 1t possible to
push his way into the Chiapovano val
ley and drive wedge between the two
Austrian armies, virtually isolating the
southern army. which directly bars his
way to Trieste.

Sir Edward Carson Believes
That Treaty With Germany
Would Be vaIueIess
By the Associated Press.


LONDON. September 7.-Coincident-
ally with the announcement that Pre-
mier Lloyd George will deliver an i'm
portant speech on the war aims of the
allies at Birkenhead today. prominence
is given by the newspapers to a state
ment by Sir Edward Carson to a corre-
spondent in which Sir Edward declares:
There is a great deal of very loose
and mischievous talk about peace Some
people seem to imagine We have only
to conclude treaty with Germany and
all will be we'll But l should like to
ask what is to happen then? Are the
nations of the world to proceed with
preparations for the next confict-to
pursue their researches in science to
the expansion and creation of still
more deadly weapons of warfare-to
spend their resources in the creation Of
enormous cohorts of airplanes and sub
marines for the destruction of unforti-
fed towns and the murder of the inno-
cent women and children that inhabit
them; to take advantage of the ex-
periences gained in this war in the
improvement of lethal and poisonous
gases for the destruction of humanity
Are we to live in daily terror that at
any moment another conflict may arise
which might almost lead to the extinc-
tion of civilization itself?
Not Always Guarantee of Peace.
THE truth is a treaty of peace does
not necessarily secure peace in the only
sense wherein it can be of any real use
to progress and humanity We talk
platitudes about a league of nations to
enforce peace without considering con-
ditions essential to it's success But
there was a league of nations to pro-
tect Belgium-there were solemn treat
les and conventions at The Hague to
apply the principles of humanity as far
as possible in war and give effect to
international law. How did these avail
on the outbreak of the war;"
Sir Edward then quotes the German
emperor saying there is no inter-
national law. that treaties are scraps
of paper and so forth. and adds:
II have not yet seen a single sugges-
tion made as to how in future these
calamities are to be prevented from re-
curing if the Iawless temper of the
Germans remains unrepentant and their
power to repeat their crimes remains
what it has been in the past relatively
to the rest of the world.
President Wilson is right when he de.
clares no terms signed by the present
rulers of Germany would afford the
slightest security for the peace of the
world, and nothing Is more certain than
that just in proportion as the military
defeat of Germany is incomplete the
duration of peace would be short.

New Move for War Committee.

The discovery of the Crozier testi-
mony in the published hearings on the
big Army and Navy deficiency appro-
priation bill has started afresh the
agitation for a congressional commit
tee to cooperate with the President In
the conduct of the war. Members OF
the House take very seriously reports
OF the defective cartridges sent to Cen
Pershing, and the recent addition TO
the information on this matter may re-
suit in another attempt to create a
committee that viii keep Congress ad-
vised of matters pertaining to the war.
The testimony which Interested the
House today is on page 734 OF the print
ed hearings. Just made public. At one
point Representative Sherley asked:
You will remember that l spoke to
you informally some time ago about a
statement had heard to the effect that
arsenals were having difficulty in MAX
ing proper primers. What is the fact
as to government manufacture? Are
you having any difficulty in turning out
satisfactory cartridges?"
NO. We are having no difficulty" said
Gen. Crozier. WELL l ought not to say
that. We are always having difficulties:
II Is troublesome matter, and sorne-
thing Is always trying to go wrong
about 1t and every once in a while sue
ceeds. Then it means there is time and
effort wasted. and perhaps something
has to be scrapped when we get back
on the track again. But there Is just
now nothing sufficiently troublesome to
come to my attention"
