AUSTRIANS VICTORIOUS Vienna Reports Naval Engagement on August 2 and Claims Italian War- ships Were Forced to Retreat. Berlin, Aug. 8, (By wireless to Say- ville).—An engagement between Aus- trian and Italian warships occurred on Aug. 2, following a raid on the Italian coast by Austrian torpedo boats. An official statement issued at Vienna says that Itallan warships were struck, and that the flotilla re- treated. The Austrian vessels were not harmed. On the same day the Austrian tor- pedo gunboat Magnet was struck by a hostile submarine and damaged in the stern. Two men were killed and four wounded, and seven are missing. The announcement follows: “Austro-Hungarian torpedo boats on August 2 shelled military establish- ments at Wolfetto. They destroyed an aeroplane shed, set a factory on fire and inflicted other damage. “On their return these vessels, which were joined by the cruiser As- pern, developed an engagement witn an Italian fiotilla of one cruiser and six destroyers. The Italians were hit and, turning southward, disappeared. The Austro-Hungarian vessels re- turned unharmed. “On the morning of the same day five hostile aeroplanes bombarded Durazzo without infiicting any dam- age. They were pursued by Austro- Hungarian naval planes. One hostile neroplane was brought down some miles south of Durazzo by an Austro- Hungarian plane whose pilot was Naval Ensign Von Fritsch and whose pbserver was Naval Ensign Sewern. The aeroplane was captured, having been damaged only slightly. Both the occupants fled. One was arrested later. Aug. 2 torpedo gunboat Magnet on was hit by a torpedo from a hostile submarine and damaged in the stern. Two men were killed and four wounded, and seven are missing. The vessel was brought to port.

Naval Authorities The United States government has established naval training stations at Norfolk, Va. San Francisco, Cal, Great Lakes, Ill, and Newport, R. I. on Narragansett bay, about one mile from the city of Neport, R. I. where the naval apprentices are in- structed duties of ‘a man-o’-wars-man period of about they are regularly assigned to duty on board a battleship, cruiser, torpedo boat destroyer, submarine or other vessel of the navy. In addition to the regular naval training stations, how- ever, the navy department maintains a school for seaman gunners at New- port, where mines, torpedoes, deep sea diving and the repair and up- keep of the great guns are taught. These men who desire may specialize in mines, torpedoes, air compressors and submerged torpedo tubes. A school for clerks is also maintained at the training station. The school for wireless operators is maintained at San Francisco and New York. Schools for plumbers, shipwrights, shipfitters and carpenters are maintained at Norfolk, Va. The school for machin- ists is located at Charleston, S. C. East Has Best School. However, the best equipped school for apprentice seamen is the one lo- cated at Newport, R. I, where so many of the best gun-pointers in the United States navy—and that means in the world—hail from. The naval training station is under the com- mand of Commander Johnson, U .S. N., and is now in a high state of ef- ficiency, with close to 2,000 intelli- gent, cleancut and highly ambitious young Americans enjoying military training, each striving to outdo the other in becoming the efficient man- o’-warsman it takes to man the rapid- ly growing and important necessary arm of national defense. Station Well Situated. The station at Newport has a large frontage on Narragansett bay and af- ! fords a fine opportunity to train the | young men in the handling and sail- ing of hoats in which eack is made proficient. A corps of instructors consisting of commissioned warrant and chief petty officers, supervise the training of the future defenders of the nation. A recruit upon arrival at the train- ing station from New Britain, Hart- ford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Water- bury, New London and other cities in this section, is at once directed to the detention barracks, where he is given a thorough physical examination. If accepted, the recruit is issued gratui- tously, the $60 uniform outfit allowed by law. Preliminar The first three weeks at the ing station are spent at the detention | barracks, where the recruit is isolated from others under instruction. This | is a precaution taken to safeguard against the introduction of contagious diseases. A recruit’s instruction begins im- mediately upon assignment to the de- tention barracks. He is first put through the school of the recruit, pas- sing to the school of the guard, and Jater to the school of the company. With the completion of the three weeks at the detention barracks, the recruit, in a completely formed com- pany, is transferred to the main group. He now enters upon the reg- ular course of instructions. Training and Study Combined. Bach day, with the exception of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, is divided into six periods of approxi- mately one hour each. The work is varied and interesting, and consists olutions, rifile and revolver practic of drill in artiller yand infantry ev signalling, physical drill in the gym- hasium with the Swedish system of exercise, swimming, elementary sea- manship, including knotting and splicing, and the manning of boats under oars and sails. A part of the time the recruits camp out and are given practical experience in military work of a field detachment. A brief course of study is devoted to the sub- ects common to most graded schools, such as reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, geography, and history of the United States. Recruits who show a special fitness work in signaling are assigned to a class in wireless telegraphy Tho new wireless school in the Brooklyn navy vard provides splendid facilitics for practical instruction in that sub- ject and those who qualify as opera- tors have no difficulty in securing lucrative positions. Athletics Encouraged. The training station affords ample opportunity for wholesome recreation. Athletics recelve every encourage- ment, and the athletic outflts furnished every ship and station freo of charge by the navy department. Each company has its own track team, baseball team, football team and basketball team as well as boxers, wrestlers and swimmers. Thursday afternoon Is set aside for athletics. The training statfon has excellent ath- letic teams which engage in con- tests with the organizations of sur- rounding towns and cities, Including Providence and Boston, etc. The fa- cilities and equipment avallable for the use of recruits include an athletic field, a modern gymnasium, Jarge swimming pool, four bowling alleys and pool tables. The drill hall, which is one of the largest structures of its kind in the world, furnishes facilities for roller skating, which the recruits are privileged to use at cer- tain times. Church Attendance Encouraged. All recruits are encouraged to at- tend divine services on Sunday; in the various during a training six months before Courses Given. train- | | for are Protestant and Catholic services are conducted on the station. When the six months’ course of in- struction at the training station has been satisfactorily completed, the re- cruit is granted ten days' leave of absence to visit his home prior to be- ing assigned to a cruising vessel, and the money which has been saved from his pay while undergoing instructions is sufficient to bear the traveling and other expense incident to the trip. Upon return from his leave, the voung man is ready for his carly transfer to a warship. American Spirit Still Lives. Statistics compiled at the local navy | recruiting station "in the federal | building, show that patriotism, love of country and willingness of the Ameor- ican citizen to fight for, and If nec- essary sacrifice thelr all in a just war for the United States have not waned since the first declaration that this country “is and of right ought to be free and independent.” That the “antipreparedness,” “antimilitary, and “antieverything” peace-at-any- price propaganda is not being taken seriously by the thinking American public is evidenced by the fact that about 92,000 United States citizens an- nually apply for enlistment in the United States navy Tt might be of interest to know that only about 16,000- of the 92,.- 000 applicants are accepted. In time of war, however, or threatened war, the number of acceptances would be much larger in view of the large num- ber of rejections for minor defe such as flat feet, defective teeth, slight curvature of the spine, or slight ly defectly color perception. A large number of phrsically qualified Amer- icans are rejected for enlistment an- nually on account of their inability to furnish a birth certificate showing the date and place of birth and proving citizenship. The policy of the local naval re- cruiting station is not to take any minor into the naval service, even though more than 18 years old, if there is parental objection. POST OFFIC OTES.
