LONDON, July IA German subma-

on the night of June 27 torpedoed the
II ,0OO-ton hospital ship Llandovery
Castle, which had been chartered by
the Canadian government and had been
in the service of carrying wounded aud
sick from England to Canada for many
months past. The ship was then on her
way to England. She had on board 258
persons, including eighty men of the
Canadian army medical corps and four
teen women nurses.
Up to the latest reports only twenty
four of those on board, including the
captain, have survived the treacherous
ATTACK, which came without warning.
The submarine commander, who or
dered the captain of the Llandovery
Castle, several Of his officers and Ma jor
Lyon, of the medical corps, aboard, de-
clarcd that .he had sunk the ship be-
cause she~was. carrying American >auia-

later by asserting that the vessel was
carrying nunition stores, because OF
an explosion which had occurred aft.

Llandovery Castle was torpedoed. These

bridge and strings of white and green

Bella and del Rosso had been given
up, it said, to avoid losses.
These positions were very import
ant to the enemy if Boroevic had the
intention of renewing his unhappy Of

Italians greatly strengthens the vital
mountain barrier protecting the Allied

The Italians, continuing their ad-

captured Col del Rosso. a COM

their prisoners to 1000. Impor-
tant positions on Col di Cheio,
nearby, have been won and two
determined attempts of the Aus
trians to retake Monte di Val
Bella have been beaten off.
The success of this effort on the part
Of Diaz's men not only greatly
strengthens their line, but would
seem to show a loss of Austrian
morale due to the unsuccessful
outcome of the recent enemy Of

In France the most important fight

the expected great German effort,

Gus dispatches from the front,
which say the new offensive ap-
pears only a few days off.
When the offensive, by which the
Germans hope to bring q quick
end to the war, develops it may
be met in part by the first all
