Washington, Oct. -26.-Nearly two
thirds of the water surface of the
world is about to be policed by the
Japanese navy, according to a Jap

which says:

This will be one of the results. it IS

Berlin, Oct 26.-The Austro- Ger
mans in their offensive on the Isonzo
front, have captured more than 1000
Italians, the German war office an
nounced today. More than 500 guns
also were taken.
The statement says the northern
wing of the second Italian army has
been defeated and is retiring. Ger
man divisions are advancing beyond
Karfreit and Ronziana.
At many places the Germans are
now fighting on Italian territory, the
announcement says.

that sector forced the move

Diary, evacuating the Bainsizza pla-
teau," the statement said.
Bainsizza plateau was the main fruit
of General Cadorha's great drive last
August. His forces conquered the
great mountain peaks forming the
western boundary of this high ground
Monte SantO, Monte San Gabriel
and Kuk-and then drove the Aus
trians ahead of them, across the com
paratively level upper ground.
1t is not clear from the official
statement whether all of the Balm
sizZa plateau has been abandoned to
the Austro- German forces, or just that
portion around Auzza.
l Met Serious Reverses.
London, Oct. 26-ItaIy's armies
have met with a serious reverse in the
Isonza battle, losing $4,000 men in
prisoners and 500 guns to the Aus
trians and Germans in their concen-
trated attack, according to the Ger
man claim.
Admittedly the Italians have been

Thus General Cadorna has thru a

Apparently the Italian forces which
so brilliantly fought their way across
