ITALIANS GET
BIC GUNS AND
PUSH AHEAD
Have Crossed Main Line Of
Austrian Defence
AUSTRIAN LOSS LARGE
Prisoners Taken Were Nearly Starved
AS Austrian Food Supply Was
Cut OFF.

Rome Aug. 2G.-The Italians have
made a further advance on the lson-
20 front, north of Goriza, closely pur-
suing the Austrians, the War office
announces. Austrian counter-at.
tacks on the Carso were repulsed.
The number OF prisoners has been
increased to more than 23,0OO in ad.
dition to which q great amount Of
booty has been captured.
The statement follows:
"The battle is beginning to reveal
itself in its yastness. The action
north of Gorizia from August 10 on
ward may be epitomized as follows.
The gallant troops of the second
army after having thrown IA bridges
across the lsonzo under the fire of
the enemy. passed over the river on
the night Of August 1919 and proceed
ed to attack the Bainsizza plateau
Directing themselves decisively tow
ard the Jelenik-Vrh front, they went
around the three enemy defensive
lines of CONNER. Kobehk and Madoni
which crossed there. Contemporane-
ously, they attacked the same lines
from the front, and broke through in
spite OF the enemys most stubborn
defense The consequence Of this
bold maneuver was the capture of
Monte Santo.
"Our troops are now continuing
their advance toward the eastern Dor
der OF Bainsizza plateau, hotly pursu-
ing the enemy. who Is making the
most violent resistance with large
parties of machine gunners, and with
light artillery.
"On the Carso yesterday, the battle
came to a standstill temporarily Our
small advances rectified the captur.
ed positions, which were consolidated
and the enemy's attempted counter.
attack failed under our fire.
The prisoners thus far number 60C
officers and $4,000 men, We have
captured 75 guns, including two SO5
millimeter mortars and many guns OF
medium caliber. a great number OF
horses, an airplane in perfect condi
ton, many trench mortars and ma
chine guns and all kinds of war ma
terial, including several motor trac
tors loaded with ammunition. The
enormous difficulty of sending sup
| plies to our troops across q zone ir
which there are no roads has beer
suImounted in part because OF the
large supply depot abandoned by the
enemy during his retirement"
The official communication of the
result of the battle shows that the dt
moralization of the Austrian troop!
is in part due to the extraordinar,
aerial and artillery work of the ltal
ians. which has not only destroye.

TONGRESS alone has the power to make war; but
" IT the confusion that 10 that body re-
gardng the aov.sabity of declaring war upon Aus
ta Turkey and Bulgaria does clear up within the next
few days that body will do well frankly say that it will
be guided entirely in this particular by the chief executive
who is also commander chief of the army and navy and
directly responsible for the conduct of the war.
Some OF the volunteer statesmen and srategists have
been urging tor some lime that the United States should
be formally as well constructvey at with Germany
allies The only reasons this opinion appear to be
grounded upon are that then would not be bothered
with the Turkish and Bulgarian legation stats, which may
and may not be centers of spy activity, and would be
at war with the principal foe Of our ally Italy, which at best
Is purely sentimental view
These arguments have made such an impression in Con-
sessional circles that yesterday Senator Stone who was
one of the little band of wlul men who fought the dec
laraton OF war against Germany but continues TO be Chair
man of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said it
seemed advisable to simplify situation now anomalous
by declaration OF war against Austria Turkey and Bull
saria. While Senator James Hamilton Lewis, the Demo-
cratic whip in the upper house. expressed similar views but
he added that should be careful distinguish between
Alstrians and Hungarans Ausnans and Bohemians and
between Austrians and Poles.
They have the fine art of trimming and straddling down
to such point the Senate that they may be able to draw
up war resolution that fills the Lewis requirement. but
how would that leave with regard 10 Germany? Pres-
dent Wilson has been to great pains to make it plain that
while we are at with the government of the German
empire we not at war with the German people SEN
stor Lewis would have ignore the Ausro-Hungarian
government and make war upon part Of the people who
live under it whose sole oensc against us that they are
subjects of government that happens to be an ally Of
government with which we are at war The thing is alb
surd But that would not prevent this Congress from act
ing upon the idea if it once got out of control.
# there practical military reason for going 10 war
with the allies of the German empire by all means let us
do it at But we should not do it for sentimental
reason because some people have an idea that few
