AUSTR|ANS LOSE 10000
i IN BATTLES ON P|AYE
Forty Square Miles Of New Terri
tory Obtained by Italians in
Recent Fighting.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
Sunday, July 7.-Venice's liberation
by the expulsion Of the Austro- Hun
garians from the delta Of the Piave
river was attended by some of the
hardest fighting seen on this front
Tho Austrians put up a terrible re-
sistance and it is estimated that 20,-
900 officers and men, or 80 per cent
Of their electives, were killed.
wounded or taken prisoner.
1t was due to the untiring valor Of
the Navy's gunboats and sailors and
soldiers fighting neck deep in mud,
water and reeds that the Austrian
fanktng movement was blocked. The
fighting was especially arduous on the
hundreds Of canals behind the lagoon
district. where every cellarless hut had
been transformed into a machine gun
nest.
The Italians had to make night at
tacks, swimming with a knife in their
teeth, until they surprised and killed
the machine gun defenders. The ar
tillery OF both sides played night and
day freely upon every road built in
between the canals.
Tho result Of the battle gives the
Italians nearly forty square miles Of
new territory and shorter front

MINERS SHOW PATRIOTISM.
Curtail Independence Day Celebra-
tions in Promotion Of Production.

Reports from various coalnelds. both
anthracite and bituminous. indicate
that the mine workers paid patriotic
heed to Fuel Administrator Garfleld's
appeal that the Fourth Of July cele-
brations be not unduly extended. The
administrator finds cause for much
qualification in the production re-
ports. His appeal is believed to have
been responsible for a large output
on the days Immediately following
Independence day.
Prior to the issuance Of tho appeal
arrangements had been made by the
miners in many coalhelds for picnfcs
and outings and meetings that should
extend over the 5th and the 9Th, after
the national holiday. In great many
instances these programs were called
off as soon as the appeal made the
need of the nation known.
TIE reports that have already come
in Indicate that the great service
army" of mine workers has awakened
to its increased opportunity and its
duty of sustained service.

Czecho SIovak Army
Wins German Respect;
BoIsheviki Tottering

By the Associated PreEs.
LONDON, July 9.-StatememtS at
tributed by the Cologne oasstte to .
German, described as holding for many
years q distinguished position in the
far east. and who lately travelled from
China to Germany across Siberia, are
printed in tho Times The German 10
very contemptuous OF Gen. Semenons .
Cossacks, but writes with great re-
spect Of the Csecho-s1ovakA who. he
says, are not destined for the French
front, but are to be used exclusively
against the Russian bolshsviki
The German rays he saw 10000
cxecho- ho-slovaks on tho Arnur railway.
and was told there were nearly $4,000
Cxecho- slovaks altogether in Siberia
He describes the 10000 whom he mot
az splendid material. well led ana
we'll clothed. but not armed. NO arms,
at any event, were visible even among
the officers. He was informed the
whole force was commanded by a
French general
The subsequent occupation Of Omsk
showed. says the writer. that more
Cxecho- -Slovaks had arrived since he
passed through Siberia
man says:
"Their power. which doe9 not seem
now quite frm, even in Moscow and
Petrograd. does not exist at all In
Siberia The smallest soviet does
what 1t likes there. Everybody's nrst
concern is himself. Soviet soldiers
search the houses Of the bourgeois
population and seize their property.
Hotels also are searched and plum
dered. Nobody has a minutes Sc
curity. These rascals are criminals
who escaped from prison or were re-
| leased by the bolsheviki. They are
armed to the teeth.
'"The authors Of the terrible butch.
cries on the Amur were these GRIM
inals. There was absolutely no o'bat.
tie. The people were simply muir
dered. Some rich merchants shot
themselves to escape bestial tortures.
Educated classes yearn for the day
when the Germans will como to Gre

being systematically prepared Le-

PROTECTING CONCRETE SHIPS.
Coating Found Which Makes Them
Endurable A Steel.

Tho shipping board has discovered a
new protective coating which ID ex-
pected to make concrete ships as dur
able as steel, according to an an
nouncement made by the board.
Engineers studying concrete con-
struction ara becoming more and
more enthusiastic over the future of
concrete ships" said r. J. Wig. chief
Of the concrete ship division. From
our comprehensive tests at seawater
we are assured that such vessels will
last a minimum Of several years with
out any protection. Applications of
we'll known protective coatings makes
certain an extended life Of several
years additional and with the fur
ther development Of protective means
which we have discovered. believe
the concrete ship can be made as per-
manent as steel. II not moro so."

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MEETS WITH FAVOR


vigorously and It becomes moro and
more apparent to Germany that the
United States is to be the decisive
factor in the war, the actual organi-
xation Of q league Of nations will
have a practical effect in Germany and
Austria. The people will know that
civilized society has organized and
that the central powers can be ad-
mitted or rejected from the family Of
nations not merely from political but
economic intercourse by that league
The encouraging words of President
Wilson's series of speeches about
small nationalities helped to bring
about the CZecho-Slovak movement
Putting into concrete form some of
the principles the President has ex-
pounded might conceivably develop
more converts and eventually cause
the disintegration of the political
forces who rule the central powers
today.
