Austrians Aided
By Turks on Cnrso

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. -- Turkish
troops, in addition to German forces,
are assisting the Austrian army against
the Italians, says an official statement
cabled 10 the Italian Embassy here to-
day. The dispatch says Turkish prison
crs were taken.
The Italian offensive has not been
arrested, but is proceeding with I'M
diminished intensity. the embsssy's ad-
vices state Cadorna's troops have not
been repulscd anywhere; they are
slowly advancing. and new detectives
are referred 10 in the cable message.
The dispatch says:
"Thc Austrian communlques relating
TO the Isonzo battle and the battle be
tween the Hermada and Seio are
branded false by the Italian official
communiquc. Not only have the Aus
trianS not succeeded m dislodgine the
Italians from anv Of the positions they
have occupied during the present often
sive, but the Italian advance is every
where, slowly hut surely, progressing.
Austrians Lose $4,000
"Thc Austrian troops succeeded in
gaining small advantage south OF
Selo, but the Italian troops imme-
dIately counter attacked and not only
reestablishcd the line but advanced
slightly on ten-mile line.
1.-THE battle is still proceeding with
undated fury. both on the .aonzo
front and against the Hcrmada. On the
Isonzo front the italian troops are
gaining one by one all the fortified
points which protect the Austrian lines
Of defence.
"On the eastern slope of The San
Gabrielle the western being already IN
Italian hands, the Italians nave sue
caeded in occupying the tunnels o: me
Dunno Railway, which were stored with
material and ammunition.
"The battle on this particular sector
is developing on a seveu-mile front.
AS further answer to the false
statements Of the Austrian command,
the Italian communique says that be-
tween August 1S and September the
Austrian losses. completely accounted
for. total 10000 dead, wounded and
missing. The number of prisoners is
more than $4,000, among whom are
numerous Germans and Turks.
THE Austrian statement is not only
false in regard to the operations on
land. but also in the air. The Italian
aviators in their last raid ever Pola
destroyed the naval docks and n sub
marine and sank a fully loaded ship.
an conclusion, the Italian statement
ssys that in the very near future, when
the Italian army will have reached the
new detectives which were assigned to
II after the capture OF Monte Santo, II
will be seen how great and decisive the
Austrian defeat has been, in spite OF
the help which both Germany and Tur-
kev have given Austria

Turned On Them by
Aggressors
145 Cannon Captured

LONDON, Sept. 10.-The Italian cam
paiCn has settled into an exhausting
contest for supremacy on the summit
of Monte San Gabrielle, northeast OF
Gorilla. where the full power OF the
opposing forces is focused and the
fighting has again become ferociou''
Rome says to-day that General Cadorna
continued his pressure in that area, and
that three Austrian attempts TO tighten
il were smothered with loss under tho
Italian curtain OF fire. The lombard
ment upon the southern Carso. in the
Mount Hermada sector, has revived to
a new violence.
The Italian War Office announces that,
though the booty captured in the Balm,
sizza offensive has not yet been all
counted. l45 cannon, eighty of them OF
medium calibre; ninety-iive trench
mortars and bomb throwers and 323
machine guns have been officially listed.
Many of these weapons were in such
perfect condition and so well supplied
with projectileS that they were at once
turned on the fleeing enemy.
Semi official dispatches from Udine
say that the sighting around the
heights northeast Of Gorilla continues
night and day, during good and bad
weather. The continuous contest seems
to the observer TO be animated by SUI
perhuman force, the Italians and the
Austrians almost constantly engaging
in hsnd-to-hand encounters. A strange
situation is brought about by the two
forces, practically equal in number
| strength and determination, struggling
| for supremacy in n circumscribed arc
where il is impossible for either side
to employ more men or artillery. Gaps
in the ranks are instantly filled, and
thus the contendiHg forces remain Sc
balanced that victory apparently - IN
possible to either side. The fercenes:
/ of the struggle is proved by the tac'
J that in twelve hours the Italians at

diversion against the Italian positions
