Berlin, July 21.—Attacks that jn bit- terness and determination beggar de- seription, losses that run into the thousands, desperate, heroic, useléss infantry assaults following hour-long artillery fire, have “characterized the terrible struggle between the Italian and Austrian forces along the lewer Isonzo river. When the war shall have ended it is ‘doubtful whether Neuve Chapelle and Ypres will stand out more Brimly terrible than some of the bloody bat- Italian frontier. \ X Afloat With Bodies. A picture of the green Isonzo liter- ally afloat with bodies, of the meadows and flelds along its course a veritable shambles, of whole companies and battalions wiped out of existence on both sides, of night attacks checked by .ghost-like searchlights, and of ar- tillery fire withering’ and destroying everything in its path, is dm‘(n by Leonhard Adelt, correspondent of thé Berliner Tageblatt, in a despatch from the Isonzo frontier. = Adelt sketches dramatically events leading up to the fearful Italian attacks,. the secrecy of the prepara- tions, the terrible strain of withstand- ing them when they did come, and the bravery displayed on both sides, . His despatch is in part as follows: Dalmatians Prove Herges: “In single file the Dalmatians groped their way up the path through the woods to the ‘Saddle’ of the ‘Plava Heights. Soon they gould hear the rasp of spades and the hack of picks, and took their appointed places in the shelters that, shot to pieces by the the Italians in the day time are re- paired each night. “‘On the night of July 4 it was un- usually still on both sides. The ghost- like arm of our searchlight groped its ‘way along the fortifications of the enemy, the bags of sand in which looked like rows of dead men.. The white shaft of light in one of its jour- neys revealed the enemy’s sappérs, lying flat behind rocks; their faces distinguishable through a glass in the bright light. / Italian Sappers Annihilated. “They had placed iron tubes with explosive under the barbed wire' en- ‘tanglements, and when they found themselves discovered they rose fear- lessly and advanced. A few of the mines exploded, carrying: upward tangled wires, posts and stones. But before the Italians could gét to our trenches the rifies opened fire and the sappers dropped, annihilated. “Behind the ruin of every house in Oslavija, Gradiscutta and Podgora, be- hind every stone and bsh there were Italians. Their number grew to an .| entire corps, -three infantry divisions. “Their catapults spat mipes into our observations, and at night smaller groups assailed . our positions- with hand grenades ‘and ‘rifle fire. All through July § the cannons thundered about us. Again and again they made dirt heaps of our covering and graves of our shelters. . The howitzer shells acted much like a sword that mows down everything in front of it, and un- der their shelter there advanced to- ward us from Oslavija column after column -of the enemy. “Qpposition looked impossible and retreat out of the question, yet the Dalmatians, the Hungarians and the. Croatians ‘d@id resist, outlasted the shell-covered death zone, dug them- selves out of living grdves into which they had been catapulted, and met the enemy with a lightning fire that deci- mated the attacking lines. ~ They held the position all that day and until the attack stopped at night. “While an entire Italian army corps were trying to force the northern en- trance to Gorizia, not less than three army corps were trying to get at it from the south, by a route which has as its pivot the Plateau .of Doberdo. Sixty Shots a Minute. ‘“Another general attack was pre- faced agani by a bombardment by can- non of all calibres. In some . spots more than sixty shots a minute were counted. Two divisions then stormed the front lines between Sagrado and Vermegliano, and one regiment each at Polazzo and Redipuglja. But the Croatien troops, in bitter counter at- tacks, drove the Italians back into the plains of the Isonzo, and even cap- tured their machine guns. “July 3 brought not only a bom- bardment of Redipuglia but a night attack as well, which was repulsed. On July 4 and 5 the ‘siege operations against the great natural bastion of Doberdo turned into a huge field con- flict. B Itallans Crest Hill. “The night of the sixth five strong divisions fo Italians advanced against the Croatians, who were inferior in numbers and robbed of their shelters by the Italian arftillery bombardment. Discharging their rifles and machine guns until the' muzzles threatened to burst, they met the onslaught, literally mowing down as with scythes whole columns. But the gaping holes con- tinued to fill up, and the Italian flood swept on, crested the first hill and threatened to engulf the exhausted de- fenders. ‘“Every available reserve was thrown into the breach, and by almost super- human efforts it was possible to bring the enemy to a halt and then to throw him back. There the Italians took refuge behind bags of sané that had been brought along, and res :d, await- ing another day and reinforcements. Thousands Lose Lives. “Dawn broke noce more, and the bloody, dusty warriors rose wearily after a short, disturbed sleep among the stones, and went at the bicody work once more like wild animals. The ground was almost as blood-red i tles of early July along the Austro- | the | & ‘sky. Thousands lost their lives during these two days.” Mathematical Precision. Rome, Aug. 8, via Paris, 5:30 a. m. —Letters received in Rome from offi- cers at the front agree that the fight- ing on the Isonzo River and on the Carso Plateau may well be taken as an emocellent-example of - thre=perfect realization of the plans of the Itai- fan commanders. b Nothing in these engagements was left to chance, but everything was worked out with mathematical pre- cision. A lieutenant of artillery, writing from the front, says the for- midable Austrian defences on Mount Podgoro and on Mount San Michele are no longer récognizable, the Ital- ian artillery having done its work so well, A few days saw the destruction of what cost Austria a vast sum of money to build. 10,000 Crushed to Death. Other letters relate that a large proportion of the Austrian losses were caused, not by the Italian fire, but by the hurling down of rocks. 10,000 men were thus crushed = to death in their trenches. ' At San Mar- tini, no fewer than 2,600 Austrian dead were found in‘a group of treneh- es, crushed by falling rock. The Italians, thesé letters set forth, lost comparatively few men in this fighting, The reasons would appear to be two: First, the exgellent use of artillery, and second frequent charges with the bayonet, a weapon which tha [Jtalians apparently handle to better ,advantage than do their opponen.s. EAST MAIN ST. GIRL VICTIM OF ASSAULT Therésa Sheehan, Seven, Claims Stranger Lured Her Under Freight Car Early Last Evening. Even whilg the Newington authori- ties are scouring this section for the unknown dastard who is alleged to bhave criminally assauited ‘a three year old girl in that town the local police have on their hands & similar case, just as brutal and fully as re- volting. Theresa, the seven years old daughter of John Sheehan of 186 East Main street, ¢laims to have been as- saulted by a strange man under 4 freight car just before the storm early last evening. The girl's father visited Chiét Raw- lings at police headquarters at 10:30 o'clock last evening and appraised him of the details and this morning the girl took Detective Sergeant Bam- orth to the place where she claims she was assaulted. Theresa says that between 6 and 6 o’clock yesterday afternoon a tall, slender man dressed in grayish clothes accosted her in front of a Main street store. He induced her to walk with him and then lured her down Com- mercial street, past the police sta- tion, to the railroad tracks where she says he dragged her under a car. Dr. J. B, Martin examined the girl and finds that her condition substantiates her story, The girl’s description of her assaliant is none too accurate and she insists that he had been drinking. Several people, however, saw the man and the little girl as they. walked down Main and Commercial streets and have furnished the authorities with a description, but the case seems a baffling one as the unknown assail- ‘ant’ had ,ample opportunity to leave the city before the police were _in- formed of the crime, GAIN OF $51,074.20.

WANT BALDWIN TO RUN FOR MAYOR Leading Democrats of .New Haven Believe Former Governor Would . Make Strong Candidate. New Haven, Aug. 3.—When the dembocratic town committee and dev- uty registrar meet tonight at Tabard Inn, Morris Cove, to formulate plans for the coming municipal campaign, | among the candidates who will be dis~ cusséd for the mayoralty nomination will be Former Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, so it was learned yesterday. Governor Baldwin carried the city by a majority of 484 in the last elec- tion, and it is felt by many leading democrats, that he would makeé the strongest and the most popular candi- date that could be lined up against Mayer Rice in the rall. His candi- dacy would swing nto line a large number of republican votes too, for his popularity is general and not con- fined to his party: The matter of his «bility to carry the city lsn’t ques- tioned even by republicans who know his strength as a vote-getter, and his ,capabilny for handling municipal af- fairs is believed to be far above that of ary of the many candidates consid- ered. He has given valuable service as a park commissioner. “So that the probability of his leading the city ticket in October resolves into the Question of whether or not he would accept the nomination It is felt by leading democrats that he could be, induced to accept the nomination were it offered him.

Roast Beef a Luxury. (Waterbury American.)
