the chamber Of deputies when he de-
clared that King Constantine never alb
dicated but only had been dismissed

the fact that the act Of abdication had
not been presented to the chamber.

bers of the majority. Later the possi-
bility and opportuneness OF establish
ing republic in Greece was discussed.
NJ Venlzelos declared:
Despite the weakening Of the royal
power thru the afllen kings action, the
government interpreting the feeling OF
the chamber, thinks another trial
should be given to the royal institution

pertinent we are asking. am certain
the Greek people will approve sincere
ly the trial in order to make strong
and cure conditions for the eventual

somewhat after the British plan, un-
der which certificates of one pound

fore Secretary McAdoo for considera-
ton.
Pending official announcement indi-
cations are that the American certif-
icates will be issued In denominations
sas low as S. and the British scheme
Will be adhered to.
Should the British plan be followed

Rome, Aug. 27.-The total losses sus-
tanned by the Austrians since the Itali-
ans began their great smash across the
Isonzo river and against the lower Car
so is estimated at nearly 100000 men,
the most important of which in the
Carso region have not been officially

It is said that among the losses OF

In the drive north Of Gorizia after
the. capture of Monte Santo the Second
army OF Italy has driven the foe from
his lines and is pursuing him toward
the eastern borders Of the Bainsizza
plateau.
. ~ Battle Still Raging.
The battle still RACES, with the Aus
trians stubbornly retreating at many
points, including the lower Carso. Nu-
merous messages from the front re-
ceived by ministers indicate that the
Italians are making swift strides to-
ward victory.
When asked today for an expression
of his opinion of the results thus far
achieved, Lieut.. Gen. Count Cadorna,
commander in chief of the Italian
forces snilingly replied:
1--WE are doing nicely. thank you."
Teuton Army Demoralized.
The official communication of the re-
suit of the battle shows that the de-
moralization of the Austrian troops is
in part due to the extraordinary aerial
and artillery work Of the Italians,
which has destroyed not only the lines
of communication. but has resulted in
the burning of all the main food supply
stations of the Austrians, who for the
last week have been starving at many
points between Tolmino and the sea.
This also accounts for the Unusual
number OF prisoners and wounded.

been SCARED by many struggles in the
last two years and which is known in
both armies as the spot where many

Gen. Capello's troops, who crossed the
Isonzo and swerved around the base Of
Monte Santo, thereby cutting the Aus
trian line Of retreat and completely
isolating the mountain. which for so
long had been thorn in the side Of
the Italians.

Canadian Army Headquarters, (Ry
Canadian Press, Ltd.) Aug. 27.-During
the past few days the Canadians in
front Of Lens have had q period OF
cooperative quiet and have been able
70 consolidate positions recently cap
tured with little retaliation from the
enemy and with surprisingly little loss.
Posts have been pushed out at ia
vorable points and where trenches
could be connected up to shorten the
front this has been done. The gen.
eral result Is that the Canadians hold
compact line which, on that part
OF the front west of Lens, Is about 500
wards from the burned-out area in
the city. The enemy occupies the
aroa bettwasI. this line and his main
defensive position on the eastern side
Of the burned-out section by means Of
strong ontposts located in concrete
cellars. The chief Incidents occurring
now are In connection with encounters
between patrols.
During the clearing up operations
the Canadians have destroyed three
more machine guns and captured five,
making the total Of machine guns
taken since Aug. IL, forty-three. Twen-
ty-one trench mortarH also are among
the spoils Of war.
