Associated Press Summary

Associated Press Summary
 Ihe great offensive of the Italians from the region of Tolmino to the head of the Adriatic sea is going on. despite the stubborn resistance of the Austrians and the difficulty os the terrain
 Meanwhile the British and French forces in Belgium and on the sec tors of Lens and Verdun in France. again have made progress against the Germans, and also have held. not Wlthstanding the most violent coun- ter attacks, all the ground they won in recent fighting.
 On the eastern front, near the inn portant port of Riga, on the Baltic. the Germans have started what DOS slbly may turn out to be another big offensive, and also are attacking the Russian lines to the southeast in the Vicinity of Dvinsk, and farther south near Brody and Tarnopol, in north ern East Galicia.
 Already the Italian offensive has resulted in the capture of more than l3,OOO prisoners and 30 guns, and gains of great importance have been made all along the line. Italian war ships, which are aiding in the attack at the head of the Gulf of Trieste, have switched their big guns from the battle line and showered shells on Trieste, the big Austrian port which is the objective of the Italians.
 Admission is made by the Vienna war office of victories of the Ital- ians at several points south of Tol- mino, and the capture of the town of Selo, near the head of the Adriatic, but it is asserted that the offensive, especially at Selo, cost the Italians thousands of men killed or wounded, in addition to more than $500 pris oners.
 Not alone have the Canadians re- pulsed all German counter attacks be- fore Lens, but they have taken add;" tional positions from the enemy iD front of the important coal center.

 ARE VICTIMS 0N
 GERMAN U.b0Al
Third Mate of Sunk Oil Vessel Describes Actions of Ger
 man Submarine.
MEN WERE TAKEN
 AS PRISONERS
Later, French Cruiser Sunk U.BOat in Same Vicinity and Fears Are Held That Prisoners Drowned
 With TeutOn Uapt0rs.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 22-The Standard Oil tank steamer Campana whose captain and five of her navy gunners were taken prisoners by a
 German submarine on August 6, sur rendered to a u-boat because she had
 not another shot to fire. The Cam
 panas ammunition, after firing 1SO ssots, became exhausted. This was the story told by J. H. Bruce. third
 mate Of the Campana, who, With 40
 other members of the Campana's
 crew and eight gunners, arrived here
 today on French steamship
 The battle began at a. m, and was
 Waged for four hours at a range of
 between 7,30O yards and 7,50O yards
 Ihe u-poat fired 400 shots, only two
 of which hit the mark. The Cam pana nevertheless was outranged by the two guns, one fourinch, the other tWo-lnch, with which the submarine was armed The u-boat also was full ly as speedy as the American vessel.
 Afber the Campana hoisted the in ternational signal for surrender. her last shell gone, the submarine never the less, continued to fire, Bruce said. and all hands took to the boats. The u-Doat commander first approached the boat commanded by Bruce which had aboard 13 naval gunners and or dered it alongside. He then went to the boat occupied by Capt. Albert Oliver of the Campana, and took him prisoner. Having room only for six additional men aboard his craft. the German skipper made only five of the gunners prisoners, Bruce said.
 These included the chief gunner and two petty officers. The subma- rine was the U-2. Bruce did not learn the commanders name. The German told him he had first fired tor pedo, but had missed, the projectile apparently passing under the ship. The Campana was sent to the bottom by bombs, after the crew had been all lowed to get their personal effects. Directions were given Bruce by the submarine commander how to reach the nearest port. He told him at the same time that he had heard wire less messages exchanged by two French war vessels in the vicinity and warned him not to allow himself to be picked up by them.
 'I am going to sink them." he said. Bruce and his men nevertheless took the chance, encountering French war vessel after floating about in Small boats until o'clock that night. The warship took them aboard and landed them in France. Bruce said he was told by an officer of the war vessel that he had heard wireless message from another French cruiser, saying it had sunk German submarine in the Wiz cinity of the place where the Cam pana had been sunk. Bruce said it was only conjecture that it was the submarine that had attacked his yes sel, but if true, he feared it meant that Captain Oliver and his gunners had perished.
 tfThe names of the gunners were James Delaney, chief gunner's mate; Miller. seaman; Fred Jacobs. seaman; Re- Roop, boatswain's mate. second class. and Charles Kline, gun ner's mate. ]

PERU DEMANDS
 |OfMN|1Y FOR
 SUNkEN VESSEL

Amsterdam, Aug. 22.-The Berlin Vossiche Zeitung announces that Peru has sent an ultimatum to Ger. many.
 The Hamburg prize court recently refused damages to the owners of the Peruvian sailing vessel L0rgon, which was sunk by a German submarine on February ,, off the doast of Spain. The reason assigned by the court was that the Lorgon when stopped and asked for her nationality hoisted the British flag and it is also alleged she was carrying contraband for Eng land.
 The Vossiche Zeitung says that in view of the threatening tone of Peru's note, the imperial German chancel- Tor has ordered the Hamburg decis- ion referred to the upper prize court at Berlin for final adjudication.
 Recent advices from Lima showed the tension between Peru and Ger many over the sinking of the Lorgon was high. Peru, it was announced, had decined the offer of Germany to submit the question to prize court, insisting that the sinking was unjus- tified and that Germany pay the dam ages and also an indemnity. The Lorgon was sunk inside Spanish waters,

VEGETABLES SAYS GERMANY MUST
 DEFEND HERSELF Tells Reichstag Main Committee That Allies Are PrOlOnging
 the War. ANSWER TO POPE
 NOT YET READY Imperial German Chancellor Announ- ces His Government Must Agree With Its Allies, Before Preparing Its Response to Proposal.

Copenhagen, Aug. 22.--A dispatch from Berlin quotes. tie address by Dr. Michaelis, imperial chancellor. before the main committee of the reichstag in Berlin Tuesday, in part as follows:
 "It is easily understood in view of the attitude of our enemies. that the Herman press maintain that it is necessary for us to make fresh peace proposals"
 The chancellor here quoted an ar- ticle printed in the Berlin Vor- waerts, Socialist, to the effect that responsibility for prolonging the war rested on the allies and that for Ger many there was but one alternative, "to defend ourselves and our kin"
 q think" he continued, "this is the general feeling of our people. It is in such a situation as this that I now submit to you the peace pro- posal contained in the popes note. The contents of the note I believe are known to all of you. The fun damental ideas ill the note corre- spond with the position which the pope takes up in accordance with his personality and his charge as head of Catholic Christendom-the pope places in the foreground his convic- ton that the moral force of right should replace the material force of arms. On this foundation he devel- ops his proposals for arbitration and disarmament.
 "l cannot take up any definite po- sition regarding the material tenor of the proposals or go into any de tails concerning them, until an agree ment is reached with our ally"
