Plateau has been completed Monte
San Gabrielle and San Daniels are
completely invested and everything is
ready for combined land and naval
assault on the last defense of Austria 5
Adriatic metropolis.
That is the summary of the reports
from Rome and the battle front re-
ceived at the Italian embassy here.
Extensive German aid has been
rushed for the defense of Trieste 1t
is admitted that the Hermada will be
a hard nut to crack. But the Italians
are confident they will crack it 1t
is regarded of the greatest signifi-
canoe that German troops have been
sent so far TO aid Germany's ally if
a fight that has been particularly
Austria's own.
For five days." the dispatch to the
embassy states, the gulf of Trieste
has been under the constant fire of
the Italian artillery and the, guns of
the Italian and British monitors
THE monitors have been protected
by torpedo boats and motor boats.
Their fire against the Hermada has
been directed by Italian aviators who
have wirelessed back the points of
concentration of all the Austrian
forces. Not a single Austria airplane
has been seen in the air. The mont
tors have returned unscathed, while
their fire has silenced that of several
Austrian batteries.
THE Austrian fleet is out of action,
trapped in the harbor of PDla.
Evidences multiply that Austria is
worried about Trieste 1t is learned
on reliable authority that 800 persons
have been arrested and informed there
while the civil evacuation of the city
goes on. Many Germans have been
captured among the city's defenders
and many Rumanians who say they
were forced to serve in the Austrian
armies and deserted at the first OPP
portunity.
THE victorious troops on the Balm
sizZa plateau are engaged in gather
ing the enormous amounts of booty
left by the Austrians. The Austrians
have been dislodged from Makobil
Con the eastern edge of the plateau)
and the forest of Tarnovo has been
invaded. AS the result of the italian
advance all of the Austrian hospitals
in the o-AiduSsino-Comen zone
have been evacuated and the wounded
removed to Lubiana."

THEIR OWN BIT
Are Preparing To Hold
Journeys; Help Coun-
try in Every WaY.

In a letter addressed recently to
golfers throughout the country. How
ard F. Whitney, secretary of the
United States Golf association. asked
that all clubs Join in the liberty
tournament" to be held on July 4.
and the prompt responses that have
been received indicate that the golf
ers are ready and willing to do their
bit.
The plan for the liberty tourney,
through which funds will be raised
for the benefit OF the American Red
Cross, was the outcome of meeting
some time ago OF representatives of
all great sport governing bodies. Sec
rotary Whitney, of the national golf
association, hopes to raise at least
$4,000. for all golfers are urged to
enter whether or not they will be
able to play in the liberty tourna-
ments-
According to the plan each club Is
to fix its own entry fee and the con-
dltions under which the tournament
shall be played. Instead of giving
loving cups and other trophies, the
United States Golf association has
suggested that appropriate certifi-
Gates be given the winning golfers.
and has ordered to supply them to
all clubs.
