Teuton Lines ASsaiIed
By Three Allied Drives

LONDON Aug. 27.-Three great all
lied drives assailed Teutonic lines on
three fronts today. British and French
troops resumed the offensive which they
started last Monday. Italy continued
her fierce drive uninterruptedly.
In a week the Italians have taken ap7
proximately 80 square miles Of AUS
trian territory, close to $4,000 prisons
ers, a vast store of guns, munitions and
supplies, and inflicted stupendous cas1
u3lties on the enemy-estimated I'M

IF the mountains having been success
fully passed, Rome looked for even
more rapid progress as the troops
pressed on to Laibach. Fl
Suddenly changing his point Of att
tack from the left bank to the right
of the Meuse, General Petain was strik-
ing another blow at the German de-
lenses out of Verdun. The initial shock
carried the French fighters nearly a.
mile forward on a two-mile front
On the British front, Field Marshal
Haig also mixed his blows. He drove
successfully against German positions
north of st. Quentin, in a sector wher4
there has been little fighting in two
months. Powerfully fortified German
posts of the "Hindenburg line" wera
stormed and taken and the British
front advanced half a mile over a mile

izer in governmental departments. He
is admittedly a tyro in the handling Of
practical politics.
OPPOSING the reichstag majority is the
numerically small but powerful Conserv-
alive and pan-German faction which just
now is standing idly by while liberalism
is threatening to Teshape political and
parliamentary institutions.
These reactiOnary forces for the most
part represent the nations finance, big
business and landed interests.
If the chancellor today feels that the
wind temporarily is being tempered to
the shorn lamb. it is due to his Convic-
ton that German eyes are riveted on the
various fronts and the resistance being
offered there by the German troops, and
that the nation at large is quite willing
to await a more aupicious time for re-
arrangement of it's political household
furniture. IN attempt to draw the man
in the street into a discussion of the
new orientation is likely 10 be met with
an expression of his satisfaction over the
arrival of new potatoes and the fact that
the bread ration has been increased.

Battle Between italians
And Austrians Still RACES

ROME, Aug. 27.-The battle between
the Italians and the Austrians still,
RACES. with the Austrians stubbornly'
retreating at many points, including the
lower Carso. Numerous messages from
the front received by ministers indicate
that the Italians are making swift
strides toward victory When asked
for an expression of his opinion of the
results thus far achieved in the battle.
Lieutenant General Count Cadorna, COM
mander-in-chief of the italian forces,
smilingly replied:
i've are doing nicely, thank you" :
The official communication on the re-
suit of the battle shows that the de-
moralization of the Austrian troops isl
in part due to the extraordinary aerial
and artillery work of the Italians, which,
has destroyed not only the lines Of cons
munication, but has resulted in the
burning of all the main food supply
stations of the Austrians, who for the
last week have been starving at many
points between Tolmino and the sea-.
This also accounts for the unusual NUM-
Der of prisoners and wounded.
The total losses of the Austrians from
all causes are reckoned at nearly 1907
900, the most important Of which, In
the Carso region, have not yet been Of
icially announced. 1t is said that among
the losses of the Austrians are many
men of the famous Twelfth division.

last two years, and which is known in
both armies as the spot where many

the Second army corps under General
Capello, who crossed at Anhovo and
swerved around the base of Monte Santc,
thereby cutting the Austrian line OF

mountain, which for so long had been a.
thorn in the side of the Italians.

that serious and concentrated effort
