Italians Seize
New Works on
Carso Plateau
Battle Shifts Southwark,
While Austrian Counter
Attacks Fail

LONDON, Sept. Fighting in the
Italian war theatre is shifting from the
Bainsizza Plateau, where the Austri-
ans seem to have dug themselves in
with thoroughness to defy Italian
partial attacks, to the region of Monte
San Gabrielle and the plain east OF
Gorilla. and the middle sector OF the
Carso. In the Gorilla area yesterday
there were savage encounters precipi-
tated by fruitless Austrian efforts to
dislodge Cadorna's troops from their
recent gains, while on the Csrso con-
tinued Italian pressure in the Balm
sizza Valley resulted in the capture OF
a system Of enemy trench defences.
During the course of these engage
ments the Italians took 685 additional
prisoners, bringing their total OF capt
ures in the eleven days Of battle up to
27.302 Austrians, of whom 72o are Of
fcers. This would make the Austrian
losses in killed wounded and prison
crs at last $4,000 in the same period.
Armen Active
Throughout the day the Italian
fiers were active, especially the great
threeplaned Caproni machines. Three
and a half tons Of bombs were dropped
on the railroad establishments at
Grahovo- Tolmino, indicating that the
Austrian city at tho northern end Of
Cadorna's line is one Of the Italian
commanders detectives. The Italian air
service has been used intensively and
with marked effect all through the
thickest OF the fighting, with the result
that the Austrian aviators have been
practically driven from the air, blind
ing the enemy artillery and rendering
il everywhere ineffective except where
it is perched on such heights as those
Of Hermada. Unoficially. IL is re-
ported that the enemy air sheds at Pola,
the Austrian naval base, were demol-
ished in the series OF air raids which
preceded the general battle, and this
would account, in some degree, for the
Gripping OF the hostile sky patrols.
Threaten Hermada
The fighting on the Carso has not
yet returned TO the proportions OF
major engagement. but the Italians are
steadily forcing in the Austrian front
where it will do the most harm-that
is, on the northern flank of Mount
Hermada. Cadorna's stroke will prob
ably came Immediately after this
salient between Brestovizza and the
Wippach River has been extended TO
the point Of greatest menace.
In the Trentino patrol encounters
still continue, but the Austrians do not
seem able to spare enough men from
their main front to create any impor-
tant diversion. London military critics
on the various papers are pleased with
the results of Cadorna's drive to date,
and declare that the Italian effort has
been more effective and sustained than
at any time in the past.

Cadorra Describes
Drive as Greatest
Battle of the War
IStaT COrre-pondsntl


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The pres
ent battle on the Austro Italian front,
for it's probable consequences. is the
greatest fought on any field in Europe,
according to General Cadorna. com
mander in chief of the Italian armies,
SAYS a cablegram to the Italian En-
bsssy to-day.
The advices stated that the battle is
still developing on a seventy-fve-mile
front. General Cadorna asserted, the
embassy dispatch declared, that the
detectives are withir reach Of the
Italian forces. The detectives. how
ever. were not named. The embassy
dispatch follows:
The Italian offensive is progressing
with great intensity, beating back all
the attempted counter attacks of the
enemy.
Greatest Battle Fought
General Cadorna. speaking Of the
achievements of the Italian army dur
ing the last eleven DAYS, has declared
10 the foreign military attaches and
to the representatives of the press at
the Italian front that the battle now
being fought on the Isonzo front must
be considered for its probable conse-
IuthIto SI'dbNob iNNbhS Wv
present war on all fronts.
"The battle is still developing on
front of seventy-five miles and the
enemy is yielding ground at every
point. II is impossible to give any
information as to the number engaged
on this wide front, because information
of this character would benefit the
enemy. But while naturally At some
POINTS the advance of the Italian
troops is speeder than at other points.
still the detectives which the Italians
are aiming at gaining are within the
reach Of the Italian army.
CadOrna Confident
General CadOrna expressed his un-
bounded admiration for the morale of
the Italian troops. In such a long
battle and on such an enormous front
not a single case Of uncertainty, either
BY individuals or units of the army, has
been noticed.
General Cadorna pointed out the
fact that the enemy. beaten on land.
has not been able TO hold his own even
in the air. The Austrian airplanes
have not hampered the work Of the
Italian aviators on the battlefront. nor
have they interfered with the work Of
the Italian and English monitors oDer-
ating against the defences OF the Gulf
of Trieste

Austrian Carso Loss Heavy
Prisoners Tell Italians Foe Is
Suffering Severely

The Austrian losses on the Italian
front are very great, according 20 the
following Rome official statement re-
ceived yesterday by the "Bolletino
della Sers," of this city.
Dispositions of prisoners reveal the
serious damages inflicted on the enemy
on the elevated plain Of the Carso.
The Division OF Iron the 18th, 70
which the Austrians recently attributed
the destruction OF the Russian lines,
has been sent back 10 the rear in con-
sequence OF its serious losses. This
one and other divisions owe their chief
losses TO the lack of orientation and
the poor functioning of the commands,
which had been disorganized by our
artillery fire.
when our attacks had ceased, the
Austrians dashed forward, but only a
few Of them reached our first line. Our
ire resulted in a real slaughter OF the
Aus,rians passing over the open coun-
try. The 18th and the 316th and
battalion OF a Bosnia Herzegovinian
regiment suffered sanguinsry losses;
they were literally mown down."

committee in its inquiry to determine
if anybody profited by a leak when
President Wilson's peace note was sent
to the allies. was busy In the financial
district here today getting ready for
the opening Of the hearings here to-

The understanding in financial cir
cles is that the inquiry probably Will
not be extended to an investigation OF
the New York stock exchage The
present plan is to call officers of the
stock exchange among the first wit
neses and question them about the eX-
act procedure in the selling and buy
ing Of stocks. This information. 1t is
understood, will be used by the com
mittee to guide their inquiry into the
stock sales on the three days preceding
the publication Of the note. The pur-
pose Of transferring the hearing to this
city was to enable the committee to
get the testimony Of exchange officials
and brokers.
It is expected that expert account
ants will be engaged to examine the
