ROME, July 28 (via Paris, July 29). —Further “remarkable progress” was made yesterday by the Itallans on the Carso plateau, according to an official statement issued to-night at the headquarters of the General Staff, The communication follows: “Our adversary, profiting by a fog, attempted an attack against our po- sitions at Passo del Cacclatore, be- tween Mounts Chiaden! and Avanza, in Carnia, but was promptly repulsed by counter attacks, Our Alpine de- tachments attacked some of the ene-, my's tranches in front of positions at Val Piccolo and conquered the greater number of them. “On the Carso plateau yesterday was spent in strengthening tmpor- tant positions captured the day be- fore. In the centre, nevertheless, fur- ther remarkable progress was made, thanks to the conquest of some strongly held enemy trenches which enabled us to straighten out our line of deployment, The latest advices place the number of officers taken prisoner on the 26th at 102. “On the rest of the front there has been no especial change in the situ- ation.” VIE ment says “The second battle in the district of Goeritz, more formidable than the first, has terminated in the complete failure of the enemy, who, In a dis- trict of about 30 kilometres (13% miles) front, between Monte Sabotino and the coast, had seven corps, with at leust seventeen divisions of infan- try, and tried to break through with- out regard to men or material.

PARIS, July 2%—Gen, Joe Joffre must be enumerated among the great French successes of the first twelve months of the war, z This goes as it stands, whatever he may or may not do in the future, I say this because Joffre is not without his critics: There are those who say | ho ought to move faster.

Proof of this lies in the splendid fash- jon in which the workingmen of the nation bave answered the call for in- dustrial reinforcements (bear in mind that 80 per cent. of the British public consists of workingmen, their women and children), and never in history has a popular war-loan met with such success. For the apathy displayed by the masses in the first ten months of the war the British Government has only itself to blame. The leaders of the nation made the mistake of intrusting the entire conduct’ of the war on land to one man—perhaps a military ge- nius, but with serious limitations on the ‘human side, including an utter inabliity to understand the civilian temperament, Bor seven months the war was conducted in secret.
