Battle Is Fierce One,

tDINE. Italy, September 6-The Aus
trian command has succeeded in con-
centrating again such numbers of fresh
troops and artillery removed from the
Russo-Rumanian and Balkan fronts
that the battle is raging again more
hercely than ever before, especially
east of Gorilla and northwest of the Her
madam, the Carso area.
The Austrians still are in possession
of what is called the sentinel of Gori-
Zla. Monte San Gabrielle. which domi-
mates both the Isonzo valley and the
southern part of the Bainsizza plateau
but all the surrounding supports of this
stronghold are gradually falling into
the hands of the Italians SO that the
network of Notifications which the en-
emy had spread along this section is
little by little being destroyed
tUnofficial reports through London
said that Monte San Gabrielle had been
captured by the Italians)

SIavs' Right Flank Endangered
and Fears Are Entertained
for Fleets Safety.
TEUTONS PRESSING ON;
CUT FORTY-MILE GAP
Russian Forces Fall Back Over
Melupe River-Righ Military
Officers Believe Petrograd Safe.

With the appearance of a German fleet
In the Gulf of Riga the difficulties of the
problem facing the Russians in the op-
erations on their northern front are
accentuated. Not only is the safety of
their armies concerned, but apprehen-
sions are excited as to what will happen
to the Russian feet if the German naval
forces are given full swing in the Baltic.
Only submarines so far are operating
against the Russian right flank as it fell
back along the Gulf of Riga coast. The
warships now bid fair to take part in
the activities, increasing the troubles of
the Russians in the task of keeping their
flank protected.
AS to actual operations against the
Russian fleet. it does not appear to be
expected that they will develop until
the land campaign has progressed fur
ther and it is seen what success the
Russians will have in their effort to
make a stand on a new line. More
over. 1t is a long way overland to Re-
val. where the Russian warships are
supposed to be chiefly congregated.
The Riga gulf. however. would offer a
favorable base for purely naval opera
tions against Reval il these should be
decided upon.
On the forty-mile front of the break
in the Russian land lines the Germans
are pushing their advantage and have
as yet met with no effective resistance.
1t is declared. however, that the Rus
sian retreat is by no means rout and
that a well defined plan is being carried
out in the retrograie movement.
Its success admittedly depends upon
the behavior of the Russian troops,
whose morale this front is now re-
ported to be better than the earlier
accounts CT the retreat seemed to in
dicate.

Whatever development may be con-
templated on the Belgian front the
great artillery battle there has not

ment of Importance. The British Of
fcial statement is colorless in sharp
contrast with recent German state
ments that an artillery fight of un-
precedented violence was in progress.
The assumption that an operation on
a notable scale is in prospect, howev-

port of great aerial activity in which
Photographic observations on a large
scale played large part.
The aircraft destruction was heavy
on both sides.
