ITALIANS CONTINUE T0 PUSH FORWARD On Both the Northern and Southern Ends of the Battle Line In the Austro-ltalian Theater GREAT OFFENSIVE IS GAINING iN INTENSITY Counter-Attacks of the Austrians Are Extremely Violent, But They Have Not Been Able to Dislodge the Italians— More Than 16,000 Prisoners Have Been Taken By the Italians—At Lens the Canadians Have Made a Further Penetration—In Belgium, Near Ypres, the British Have Been Victorious in a Two Days’ Battle—The German Operations East of Riga Are Developing in Strength and the Russians Have Given The great offensive of the Italians along the Isonzo fron: daily continues to gain in impetus and apparently the sirong Austrian counter-attacks no- where have been able to stem the tide which is bringing Genera. Cadorna's men gradually closer toward their ob- Jective. i Meanwhile the German’ operations east of Riga seemingly are developing in strength, as the Russians have given further ground to the enemy Around Verdun in France the French rmy is holding its gains of the early eck, unhampered by the German in- fantry, but with the guns of the crown prince’ raking the line at various Points. At Lens the Canadians have worked their way further into the environs of the coal city. and in Belgium near Ypres Field Marshal Haig's men have been victorious in a two days’ battle, making gains over their front varying in depth from half a mile to a few hundred yards, notwithstanding the tanacious resistance of the legions of Crowr, Prince Rupprech: On both the northern and eouthemn ends of the battle line In the Austro- Tealian treatre the Italian: have pres: ed forward their line for considerable new gairs agains it:e Austrians. The e Further Ground to the Enemy. counter-attacks of the Austrians are extremely violent, but nowhere have they been able to dislodge the Italians. An instance of this is the holding for three daye under most vicious counter- strokes of a strong Austrian position captured southeast of Dessofaiti. More than 16,000 prisoners already have been taken by the Italians. Although the exact extent of the Italian zdvance has not become ap- parent znd the objective aimed at is not definitely known, General Cadorna over the entire 37 miles of the fighting front has everywhere made prosress and the Austrians are reported unoffi- cially to be stripping Triest of its val- nables and moving them to Vienna and other places—seeming evidence _that the Austrians anticipate the Italians’ hope that a final blow_will fall there. East of Riga the Russians have fallen back before the enemy all along the line from Raggedzem, on the Guif of Riga, through Tukkum and Kam- mern to'the upper reaches of the River | Aa. " Fignting is going on s scant 20 | miles east of Riga in the lake Babit sector.

FRIENDS OF GERMANY ACTIVE IN MEXICO Conducting Press Propaganda Against the United States. Mexico City, Aug. 23.—Friends of Germany are conducting a newspaper propaganda against United States. but up to the present efforts have- failed of their purpose in so far as the bet- ter educated and infiuential classes of Mexico are concerned. There Is reason to helieve that it has had no effect on men prominent fn public ‘ife, those associated with the government, or the hizh officers of the army, but it seems certain that the German cam- paisn has exerted a certain influence over the uneducated Mexicans. The line followed has had for its end the convincing of the more ignor- ant classes that the friendly advances of the United States are mot to be trusted and that the country is stead- fast in the aim of overthrowing the sovereignty of Mexico and sefzing for its own, either by cconomic means or by force, the territory between the Rio Grande and Panama. - The Ger- mans also have made strong efforts to spread the belief that the alltes are in desperate straits for men, ships and money, and,that the ultimate victory of the central powers 1s assured.

National Council to Be Held at Moscow is Awaited With In- terest. ‘Washington, Aug. 23.—Russia’s critl- cal internal situation, aggravated by the new German drive against Riga threatening the capital, is watched by the official here with grave con cern. Tt became known today that ficial advices are closly in accord wi prss desptches describing grave po- iitical conditions. The outcome of the forthcoming ex- traordinary national council to be hesT at Moscow is awalted here with in- terest, scarcely less keen than in Rus itself. The immediate fate of Rus- sia, it is felt, depends upon it. Out of the great gathering in which the conservative elements ave ex- pected to unite in an effort to compel the provisional government to throw off the socialistic control of the sol- diers and workmen's courcil, one of two resuits is expected: The formation of a strong central- ized government capable of rapidly re- organizing the army and resuming the offensive against the central powers, or_open civil strife.
