BOTHMER IS OUTFLANKED Austrians Fighting Hand-to-Hand Combats In Efforts to Stem Ad i vance Brussilofrs Frls- oners Total 402,000. ' JETROGRAD, via London, Aug. 10. The town of Stanislau is already within tho range of the Russian guns. The Russian General Letchitsky, losing no time in following up his victory at Tysmienitsa, has pushed westward alt i.g the railroad and northwestward alfins the wagon road and in the latter direction has approached to within six iniics of Stanislau. Simultaneously, he has announced a drive across the Koro pice river and the formation of a new line of advance north of the Dniester. Hitherto General Count von Bothmer had enjoyed more or less protection 3 or his right on the Tarnopol position from the flooded Dniester. The appear ance of an offensive in the neighbor hood of Dniester, which has already carried the Russians as far west as the crossing of the railroads at Nizin of, 20 miles east of Stanislau, injects s.n entirely new element into the situa tion. With Monasterzyska seriously flanked. General von Bothmer finds himself witl-. General Letchitsky In. the rear of his advanced position along the Stripa and in close touch. The Austrians are vainly striving to stem this new ad vance by desperate counter attacks, in which the troops engage in hand-to hand encounters, but apparently with the outcome always favoring the Rus ian'. Tl.- covntlng of General Letchitsky's Prisoners during the three days" opera tions show that he has taken upward of 15.00U and it is estimated that 10.000 more men were pat out of commission. This would bring the grand total of prisoners to General Brusslloffa credit since early iu June to 402,000. Official War Reports French. TJARIS, Aug. 10.

The official com munication says: "The position is .unchanged along the whole of the British front. Some parties of the enemy advancing against our lines, southward of Martinpuich, were effectively dealt with by our trench mortars and machine guns and no hostile attack occurred in the neigh borhood. "Our aeroplanes continued bombard ments against the enemy at points of military importance. In the course of the many aerial combats yesterday sev eral enemy machines were driven down In hostile territory. Three of our ma chines have not returned." city the Italians are pushing forward moving along the railway that runs east to St. Daniel and then curves southward to Trieste. The cavalry. scouring the plain In advance of the infantry is moving on rapidly. Meanwhile another movement is under preparation tor a direct advance on Trieste along the Adriatic coast. This will follow the line of the rail way through Monfalcone. The drive on the Carso plateau, in which progress was made today, is paving the way for this advance. Advance Alone; Coast Expected. For more than six months the Italians have held strong positions at Monfalcone and were awaiting the fall of Gorizia before beginning the advance along the coast. Unless their flank and rear were protected such move would be attended with grave peril. The fall of Gorizia- removed that menace and London expects within short time the beginning of the coastal advance along the railway running directly to Trieste.

The Italians have pierced the strong Aus trian entrenchments northeast of Monte San Michele on the Isonzo front and near the village of San Martino, the War Office announced today. They have occupied Boschini. the statement say s. More than 12,000 Austrians have been captured thus far in the offensive. The figures given are 268 officers and 12,073 men. PARIS. Aug. 10. "The city of Gorizia wa3 virtually in our possession after the evening of August 8, when the for tified barriers west of the city were taken by assault by the Third Army and our forces crossed the Isonzo, not' withstanding the destruction of bridges by the enemy," says a semi-official statement forwarded from Rome by the Havas agency. Our advance attack on tne mam bridge began August 6, so that in i battle of three days the most impor tant fortified position on the Isonzo fr.ont fell into our hands. It waa car ried as the result of one of the most violent attacks on a fortified position that ha 8 occurred in the European war. It should be remembered that Austria had given particular attention to the fortifications of Gorizia, which, owing to the difficult nature of the ground and the manner in which the heights had been fortified, were regarded impregnable." Owing to inclement weather In West ern France, military activity has been confined principally to bombardments. which were somewhat heavy norm oi the Somme and in the Thiaumont work sector near Verdun. An attempted German advance against the British line south of Martinpouich was put down by the fire of trench mortars and machine guns, according to London.

The official state ment issued from general headquarters today reads: "Owing to the situation brought about by our evacuation of the Gorizia bridgehead, the town has been given up after a sanguinary repulse of fresh Italian attacks on the Doberdo Plateau. The necessary straightening of our line was carried out unhindered by the enemy. "We have captured 4100 Italian pris oners in the last four days. "Twenty-one of our aeroplanes visit ed Venice on the night of August 9. dropping three and a half tons of bombs, causing a dozen fires, one in 'cotton mills which was of such dimen sions that it could be seen for 25 miles.

LTHOUGH bad weather is hamp JT. ering the British and French ma neuvers in the west, both the Italians and the Russians are keeping up the! strong offensives against the Teutonic allies, respectively, in Austria and Ga licla, and at last reports both had made additional important gains. On the Isonzo front the Italians have continued to throw their forces across the river, and have fought their way to the east of the captured city of Gorizia. In addition, southwest of Go rizia they have taken strong Austrian entrenchments near Monte San Michele and Monte San Martino, and also oc cupied the town of Doschini. giving them a freer hand for their operations in the region of the Doberdo plateau and southward toward the Monfalcone sector. Large numbers of prisoners were taken in the fighting. Vienna, in admitting the loss of Reply Blade That Nation Is In Posi tion of Man Whose Yearly Income and Debts Are Equal. LONDON. Aug. 10. Reginald Mc Kenna. Chancellor of the Exchequer, was subjected to criticism in the House of Commons today on the ground of overreliance on treasury bins, nis critics arguing that the large amount of shiD bills outstanding constituted danger and that the government ought to have issued another war loan. In the course of his reply, the Chancellor asserted that Great Britain was able to borrow abroad at much lower terms than any one belligerent Dover. He estimated the nation's total indebtedness at the end of the present financial year to be 3.440. QUO.UUO. From that amount, said the Chan cellor, the nation was entitled to deduct 800.000,000 lent to allies and dominions of the empire, the sum left being burden it could well sustain and it was virtually balanced by the present na tional income. In fact, he declared. Great Britain was in the position of a man whoso income was 16000 and wnose aeDts amounted to 5000, which was not an alarming position. , i BILLINGSLEYS ARE FREED Charges of Murder of Seattle Police- nini Are Dismissed.

Premier Declares Himself in Accord With View That People Will Resist aa Ixins; as Man Is ' IiCft Alive. AMSTERDAM, via London. Aug. 10. A telegram from Budapest says that Count Michael Karolyi. leader of the new Independence party, speaking in the Hungarian Chamber of Deputies, asserted it would be in the interests of peace if the government would make a declaration in regard to the war aims of the monarchy and the conditions demanded for terminating tne struggle. Although tie desired a speedy peace, he wished it to be lasting one. Referring to Roumania and the aspirations supposed to be cherished there for possession of Transylvania, the count said: "So long as a Hungarian breathes we shall fight unswervingly for the intergrity of Hungary and the defense of Transylvania." Count Albert Apponyi, leader of the opposition, who has accepted the pro gramme or count Karolyi. said he saw tne best guarantee of lasting peace in the strengthening of the monarchy's alliances. Premier Tisza said in reply that he desired only to say, as was known. that a noisy section of the Roumanian press had done everything possible since tne outbreak oi the war to In volve Roumania in war with Austria Hungary. The Premier added that the ridiculous calumny that Count Karolyi desired peace at any price and a sepa rata peace wiin tussia had made certain impression on Roumanian public opinion and on the entente powers. He- declared emphatically his agree ment with Count Karolyi's view that as long as a Hungarian was left alive the Hungarian nation would resist to the utmost any attack upon its in tegrity. .
