ROME. June 12. via Taris, Juno 13.
An official note which sums up the first
offensive movement of the army fol
lows: "In the Trentino zone our forces went
resolutely forward, capturing at least
In part the strategic points of an un
favorable frontier such as were Im
posed on us after the campaign of 1856.
"Our mounted troops have occupied
defiles and summits, the names of
which recall exploits by the brave com
batants in Trentino half a century ago.
A powerful artillery crowns the sum
mits ana plateaus from where more
vatit operations can be carried out
later. It is battering effectively forts
of the enemy considered up to the pres
ent time almost impregnable, and al
ready has demolished some of them.
"In the upper (Jadore, recollections of
of Kortunato Calvi are evoked by the
occupation of Cortina and other im
portant points. Thus, not only are
closed all routes for invasion of the
enemy, but gradually there is being
opened the way of an offensive action
as soon as this is regarded opportune.
'"In the Carnia zone our Alpine
troops are solidly established on Im
portant defiles, holding them against
repeated counter-attacks by the enemy,
lik the eastern Kriull zone, our ad
vance forces are developing greater
contact with the enemy, progressively
overcoming obstacles not to be de
spised." The note adds that from results ob
tained, the excellence of the army must
not give rise to optimistic errors of
appreciation concerning the present
war. which Is severe and difficult.
Especially, tiie note says, it must not
bo forgotten that tile ground of opera
tions is mountainous and prepared by
the enemy for defense for a long time
and defended by numerous troops
hardened by 10 months- fighting. In
conclusion, the note declares that the
army has decided to overcome at any
prion all obstacles, resistance and difficulties.

Italian artillery bombarded the fortl
fatious of Santa Martel, San Pietro, San
Marco. San Lucia and the other posi
tions defending Gorz. the capital of
the crownland of Gorz and Gradisca,
22 miles northwest of Trieste and 10
miles east of the Italian frontier. Gorz
is regarded as of great strategic im
portance. The railway lines running north and
south of the city have .been interrupt
ed and the only communication re
maining between Gorz and the rest of
the Austrian empire is by a long and
difficult mountain road along the
Chiapovano Valley.
Documents found on Austrian offi
cers taken prisoners indicate that It
was the plan of the Austrian general
staff to prevent the Italians from
crossing the Isonzo Kiver between Tol
etiuo and Uorz. The capture of Plava
by Italian troops, however, upset the
Austrian plans for maintaining an in
surmountable harrier in that part of
the front through the occupation of the
town of Gradisca.

officers experts in ordnance manu

threaten serious embarrassment in
keeping the American Army properly

NEW YORK. June 13. (Special.)
Passengers returning from the Panama
Pacific Exposition at San Francisco late
today on the steamship Finland, of the
Panama-Pacific line, were taken by sur
prise when customs officials demanded
that they make out baggage declare
tions as though they had come from a
foreign port and prepare their baggage
for examination.
Customs officers, it was learned, are
acting under a special order from the
Treasury Department in ashmgton,
under which all vessels coming through
the Panama Canal which allows pas
sengers to go ashore, even for a few
hours, will be treated as vessels coming
from a foreign port. In the case of the
Finland, which la typical, passengers
embarked at an American port (San
Francisco), and they were allowed to
go ashore at Balboa, in the Canal Zone,
also an American port, for a few hours.
The reason for the new regulation Is
that these passengers were "exposed1
to a foreign country; that is. they bad
time, if they hurrted, to go across the
line and purchase dutiable articles in
the Republic of Panama.
To have their trunks exempt from
examination, passengers through the
Canal Zone must have them sealed in
San Francisco.

LONDON. May 20. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) The Coun
tess of Cardigan, whose death, at the
age of 91 years, was announced here
recently, had a remarkable career. She
saw as a child much of the court life
of King William IV., heard Tom Moore
sing his own songs and knew the Mar
quis of Hertford, the original of
Thackery's Lord. Steyne. Her matri
monial experience included the Karl
of Jardigan, wno led the charge of
the Light Brigade at Balaklava and,
after his death, a Portugese nobleman.
but she i-lso received proposals from
the legitimist heir to the Spanish
throne, whom she narrowly missed
Harrying and from Disraeli, a warm
suitor, Lord Sherborne, the Duke of
Leeds. Pince Boltykoff and the Duke
of St. Albans. Her name will go down
in history as the author of a book
of memoirs exposing all the scandals
In high life during the Victorian era.
It was not until the Countess of
Cardigan was 85 years old and almost
forgotten that she startled England
with her chronicles of aristocratic
scandal under the title of "My Re col
lections,' in which she concealed noth
ing to save her own reputation or
others. Many heroic figures of his
tory, - such as Disraeli, emerged from
her book considerably shrunken.
Young Woman's Views Advanced.
The Countess's father was Spencer
de Horsey, M. P., and her mother the
daughter of the Earl of Btradbroke.
From childhood, Adelaine de Horsey
moved in the highest society In Eng
land. The Duke or Wellington was
one of her father's Intimates.
The young woman s views were de
cldedly advanced for her time, and be
cause she was not allowed a latch
key she left home and got a house of
her own in London. It was at this
time she met the Earl of Cardigan
The Earl possessed brute courage and
nothing else and failed of promotion
to a generalship on this account. He
had made an unhappy marriage with
the divorced wire of a brother officer,
from which he was released bv her
death. Her Intimacy with Cardigan
in his wife's lifetime offended Queen
Victoria. The result was she was
practically ostracized by her own class
because or the royal snub.
Queen's Displeasure Braved.
WJth Iron courage she went to gar
den parties, alls and functions in
which she sat absolutely alone and
ignored. Her husband's cousin. Lady
Ailesbury. the social dictator of that
time, came into ner power, however,
because of her knowledge of a scandal
ous chapter in that lady's past.
When after being widowed she was
married to the Count of Lancaster
Portugal, she gave fresh offense to
the Queen by taking the title of Coun
tess of Cardigan and Lancaster, fo
the Queen was in the habit of calling
herself the countess or Lancaste
when traveling incognito.
Her gifts of mind and her beauty

cratic Bohemia. She entertained large
parties in the line old Tudor mansion
left her by her first husband.
Critics charge that the Countess
wrote her recollections to revenge her

PRZEMYSL, Friday. June 4. CBy
courier to Berlin and from Berlin to
London, via The Hague.) For the sec
ond time within 10 weeks the once
powerful fortress of Prremysl has
fallen, brief news of which will reach
the world long before this dispatch will
get through the various . stages of
couriers, telegraph and ' the cable.
From Tarnow. where the Prussian
Guard, under Prince Eitel' Frledrich,
broke- through the Russian lines on
May 2, to Jaroslaw, which was taken
on May 14, Germans under Macken
ben had covered 90 miles and had
fought daily. Between Jaroslaw and
Priemysl the retreating Russians
fought from trench to trench, which
were located every few hundred yards.
Five miles from Przemysl we came
upon scenes of the last two days of
fighting, where the Bavarians and Si
lesians stormed the works on the north
side of the city. Along the road here
and there dead Germans and Russians
were jumbled up in rifle pits.
Dead Russians Lie in Heaps.
On a little rise to the left near Fort
No. 11, where the Russians repeatedly
counter-attacked, dead Russians lay
in small heaps where they had been
mowed down by machine guns and
shrapnel.
Russian prisoners were engaged In
the work of -burial, carrying their dead
comrades in blankets to graves.
On the way toward Fort No. 10 the
dead were scattered in single pairs
and In three and fours on the green
grass, some doubled up as if they had
died In agony, some lying on their
faces, others with blank eyes staring
heavenward and their faces turned
coal black by the torrid sun.
Farther up the ridge a number or
badly-wounded Russians were still ly
ing on the field in the blazing sun, and
it requires no imagination to conjure
their sufferings. The Germans were
removing the wounded as fast as pos
sible.
Cows Pastured on Battlefield.
At the edge of a green field on both
sides of the road where death's targets
were lying, more than a score of bare
footed women and children, each with
one Or two cows on ropes, were pastur
Ing the animals, lending a peaceful.
pastoral touch to a scene where a few
hours before battle raged.
So peaceful was the scene before us
that it was difficult to believe the bun
dies of dirty looking clothes dotting the
green were men, and that the moving
figures, one at each end of a blanket.
were dragging the head to holes in the
ground.
When, four hours later, I repassed
the field the wounded were removed
the dead burled and searching squads
were picking up rifles and stacking
them in pyramids, which dotted the
fields like shocks of grain, all with Ger
man characteristic economy and thor
oughness, even to the picking up of
every cartridge clip.
Front Crashed by Artillery.
Turning through a village on the
right, we went up toward Fort No. 10
and met two wagonloads of wounded
coming from the fort. Reaching the
girdle of forts, which was adjoined by
redoubts and trenches, we saw a repeti
tion of the terrible effect of German
and Austrian heavy artillery, as at Tar
now. On the heights at Tarnow the
German and Austrian artillery had sim
ply crushed in the Russian front with
the weight of metal and had turned the
heights Into an Inferno that human
nerve could not stand.
Firing from a distance of nine miles
the 42-centimeter guns, with incredible
accuracy placed shell after shell that
effaced trenches and threw up huge cra
ters. The edges of these craters often
overlapped, and many were used for
graves. One contained 20 Russians. An
officer told me that at Gorlice 600 Ger
man and Austrian guns concentrated on
the Russian- position and kept up a
rapid fire for more than two hours.
Slaughter Is Enormous.
I have seen the effect of big guns In
Belgium and in front of Rhelms and
was present at artillery duels in the
Argonne, In East' Prussia and on the
Rawka, near Warsaw, but never saw
anything like the wholesale slaughter
from the fire of heavy guns at larnow
and Przemysl. Against this the Rus
sians were helpless, the effect of their
own artillery on the German positions
appearing like pinpricks in compari
son. Forts 10 and 11 and the connect
ing works received the concentrated
fire from the big guns.
Coming into Przemysl I passed two
skoda 42's and two huge cannon, ap
parently 20 or 26 feet long, of the coast
defense type, mounted on trucks drawn
by immense motor traction engines.
One 42 shell struck the edge of the
turret In Fort No. 10. The resultant
explosion threw the huge armor plate
top of the turret 60 feet away, wrecked
the turret and shattered six feet of
cement walls, which were then stormed
by one company of Bavarians. Big
shells tore huge gaps into the barbed
wire entanglements. One shell landed
back of the fort, its force tearing out
two large trees by the roots. A 30
centimeter shell landed In the trenches
of the second line defense back of Fort
No. 10. amid a group of Russians.
Twenty men were killed Instantly. In
a redoubt to the left of Fort No. 10 I
stumbled over several dead in a dark
bombproof. Around Forts Nos. 11 and
10 the dead were lying in small groups.
General Walts for Heavy Guns.
General von Mackensen, the German
coramander, waited for the arrival of
the big artillery, which couldn't come
up sooner because of a destroyed rail
way. The big guns got In action on
the 30th and the storming began on
the 31st by a Bavarian divlsioin and
one Silesian regiment against Forts
Nos. 10 and 11. on the north. Simulta
neously Emmich's corps and a cavalry
division operated northeast against the
Russians holding an open gap in the
ring Coward Lemberg, an Austro-Hun-garian
corps under Arz von Straussen
berg protecting - the flank, while the
Austro-Hungarian army formed a semi
circle from the south.
The Russians threw three regiments
from Lemberg into the combat to keep
the gap open. They assumed the of
fensive against Emmich from the north
and the Anstro-Hungarians from the
south. The Russians attacked again
and again, and their loss was the heav
iest on two sides of the trap, where the
dead were thick.
On the night of June 1 the Russians,
who. according to prisoners, had orders
to hold Przemysl as long as possible,
withdrew the larger portion of their
forces, estimated around 40,000. At noon
on the 2d Fort No. .10. the last of the
forts on the north side, was stormed
and taken. The same evening the Rus
sians from the second lice attempted
to recapture the position, -but were
thrown back by the Germans, who fol
lowed with a counter attack, taking
the positions, -together with 2000 pris
oners. By 3 in the morning all posi
tions on the north side were in German
hands. The Russians withdrew from
their positions on the south side, the
Germans and Austro-Hungarlans enter

ZURICH, Switzerland, via London,
June 13. The Intense heat prevailing
In Austria-Hungary, added to the
drought suffered since the end of
April, is occasioning much anxiety in
military and agricultural departments
of the dual monarchy regarding har
vest prospects. The fear Is expressed
that, unless rain comes soon, the grain
crops will suffer considerably.
Serious riots, necessitating the inter
vention of the police, have occurred in
the Budapest markets, according to re
ports from that city. The public,
angered by the prices demanded, at

it is said, and beat the dealers and
trampled their stocks under foot.

Attempts to Carry Cargoes for Purpose
of Having Taem "Seized" by Ger
mans Are Prostrated.
STOCKHOLM, May 21. There has
been much discussion about the smug
gling of contraband from Sweden to
Germany, though It is well known that
the customs officials have been alert to
prevent it. The suspicions were justi
fied apparently in the case of the
steamer Solve, which left Stockholm in
January loaded with plaids, copper,
rubber tires and a miscellaneous cargo
of other articles. She was bound for
Korrkoping, where additional cargo
was to be put aboard. Then it was in
tended to have her go to Malmo and off
the coast, where It would be outside
Swedish waters, have the ship seized
by Germans. The authorities took the
ship in Korrkoping harbor.
In February there was another at
tempt. Three big steamers loaded with
maize came into Landscrona harbor, the
bills of lading signed to order. A Ger
man presented himself as the owner
and ordered the ships on the same day
to go to Korrkoping, around Falsterbo.
evidently with the Intention of being
taken by Germans. The government de
clared that the ships must unload in
Landscrona.
In the first week of April there was
another striking case, when the steam

Swedish Minister of Marine, was cap
tured on Falsterbo and brought to
Stettin, where much of the cargo was

it embarrassing for Germany to meet
the American position in a way satis
factory to her own public opinion as
well as the United States.
The Important things which officials
thought they gleaned from the press
comment ana other utterances was the
fact that the German government was
no more desirous of adding the United
States to its list of enemies than the
United States was of participating in
the European conflict.
With a growing understanding In
Germany that the United States is anx
ious for peace but will Insist on her
rights, and the conviction here that the
German government will not miscon
strue the American demands into any
effort to interfere with the operations
of submarine warfare, if these can be
made to conform to the accepted rules
of international law as they affect neu
trals, the chances for a peaceful out'
come of the present difficulty were be
lieved in well-informed quarters to be
improving daily.
Signs of Abatement Noted.
An abatement of submarine warfare
on passenger ships would contribute
materially toward a peaceful settl
ment, and some officials professed to
see already signs of restriction of the
activity of the German submarines to
craft of such size as to make it readily
possible to save the crew a
The fact that the German press is
divided as to the policy that ought to
be pursued Is regarded hopefully here.
It is pointed out in diplomatic quar
ters friendly, to the Germanic cause
that with the arrival in Berlin of An
ton Meyer-Gerhard, personal messen
ger of Count von Bernstorff, the Ger
man Ambassador, a full statement of
the state of American public opinion
and suggestions for a compromise will
bring about a better feeling in all
quarters in Berlin.

was another cargo of maize and came
from America, being under the author
ization or the Swedish government for
use In Sweden. During the journey one
of the interested firms sold its part of
the cargo to a Stockholm firm, which
in turn sold It to the German govern
ment. As a result of such attempts the
Swedish authorities now demand that
every vessel bound for the east coast
shall call at Malmo for Inspection. It
may be that some tons of copper may
have been smuggled across the frontier,
but there has not been any systematic
trade in contraband.
