seven miles north Of Gorizia. dominated
the broad plain beyond that city. dnd
former occupancy OF It had enabled the
Austrians to hold up the Italian advance
TO the east since their capture OF the
city
The brief official recital gives little
idea OF the struggle which attended the
storming OF the Austrian stronghold on
the mountain top, but IL doubtless will
have an important bearing on the de
velopment OF the Italian campaign.
Having gained their principal object
ives on the Verdun front. the French
are completing their victory by loca
attacks to round out and secure theh
new lines Profiting, by the capture OF
iill 3oi yesterday, they advanced last
night to the north OF it. Three fortified
works in the vicinity OF Bethincour
were stormed.
Renewal OF fighting in the Champaign,
may be forecast by the statement n
the official French report that violent
artillery engagements are in progress
too In Belgium, in the vicinity o
BiNschoote, the big guns also are heav

No further infantry actions on larg,
scale are reported by the British. al
though they were successful in minoi
operations last night. Germah trencl
positions west OF Lens Of local import

were captured, with prisoners.
Near Epsy, northwest OF St Quentin
there is increasing activity with heav,
artillery fighting under way.

London Aug. 25.-'I see they again

Robert Cecil, minister of blockade, in
his weekly talk today with The Asso-
ciated Press
1T is an old song, but / think the
time has come, particularly in the
United States when it is well to re-
state briefly the bald facts regarding

Frankly, do not think anyone any

country two weeks before the war be.

fairs to the almost complete exclusion

For at least year before the war
began, Germany had definitely made up
her mind to fight
AN italian writer has told US how
In 1918, Germany approached the Ital-
ian government with a view TO taking
action in the Balkans, but Italy said
she would regard such a war as often
sive and not defensive, and would not
lend her support. Germany withdrew
her proposals as she did not think she
then was strong enough to go il alone.
American Ambassador Gerard has
told us the German crown prince made
no secret Of his desire for war. and even
expressed the hope that it would come
before his father died; and he added
that If il did not come before his father
died It would come as soon as he. name.

Crown Prince Hates France.
"Balfour's secretary, Ian Malcolm
has quoted his conversation with the
crown prince, in which the prince sug.
gested that England and Germany
should combine 10 destroy France.
There is no question but that Ger.
many had made up her mind that some
where about the summer OF 1914 would
be the best time for war. this because
