ENTIRE PLATEAU 15
HELD BY ITALIANS
First Stage of Bitterly Con
tested Action on Isonzo
, Drawing to Close.
NEW ARTILLERY IS FACTOR
Uand-to-lland Fighting, However,
Unprecedented Austrians Not
Demoralized, but Resist
Every Step or Way.
ROME, via London. Aug. 11. The
Italians have occupied the entire Do
berdo plateau, the War Office an
nounced today.
The Italians also have captured
Rubbia and San Martino del Carso.
They have reached the line of the
Vallone River. The Austrians have
retired to the east of the town of
Vallone.
By their new victories the Italians
appear to have taken an Important
tep toward clearing the salient formed
by the bend of the Isonzo below Gori
sia. The Xoberdo plateau was the
acene of heavy righting- early in the
war, but the Austrians obstinately
withstood eft oris of the Italians to
win this important position.
Armtei Approach Triest.
This fighting took place on a front
aome distance below Gorizia, the cap
ture of which enabled the Italians to
push forward in the direction of Triest
in this region. San Martion del Carso
is six miles southwest of Gorizia. It is
about 20 miles from Triest.
Reports show that the lower Isonzo
action is drawing to a close in its first
atage, with the list of Austrian prison
ers growing. The number of men
killed or wounded is large. Neither
aide has made an accurate estimate
of the casualties, though those of both
sides will probably reach 30,000. From
evidence arriving here the belief pre
vails that the victory of the Italians
was not due to the demoralization of
the Austrians, as the fighting was the
severest seen on this front. The Aus
trians contested every foot of the
ground about Gorizia, even after the
loss of strategic points of Monte Sa
botino and Monte San Mlchele.
Fighting Appalling In Ferocity.
While the success of the Italians
undoubtedly was due largely to the new
heavy artillery, which matched at last,
after a year of waiting for their manu
facture, the heavy 305-millimeter guns,
yet tho hand-to-hand fighting was
appalling in fierceness bayonets,
knives, bombs, cavalry swords, pistols
and arms of every description being
used.
Personal deeds of heroism were plen
tiful, especially in connection with the
Italian use of a new method for de
stroying barbed wire entanglements
Involving the almost certain death of
the soldier who plants the bomb for
this purpose.
The victory of the Italians Is con
sidered all the more creditable, since
the Austrians on the lower Isonzo
front had long prepared for an attack
on a large scale, having successfully
resisted many previous ones on small
sectors.
The retaking of Monte Sabotlno. tbe
Key to Gorizia and that vast section,
is regarded as the biggest feat in all
the fighting In the lower Isonzo re
gion. GROUND STREWN WITH BODIES
Battle Continues to Gorizia Suburbs,
Tlien Aspect Changes.
PARIS, Aug. 11. "Entering Gorizia
by the Via Leone, the sight that meets
the eye is most striking," telegraphs
the Petit Parisien's correspondent on
the Isonzo front. "It is here that i
furious battle was fought for posses
sion of the city. The houses are half
destroyed by shells or riddled with
bullets.
"The ground is strewn with bodies,
uniforms, helmets and rifles. The ar
tillery duel continued above our heads
and enemy aeroplanes whirled across
the sky, shot at by our gunners, while
in tne distance could be heard the fu
rious clacking of machine guns.
"The spectacle before us was superb.
Over an iron bridge our batteries
passed at a trot. The Austrian ar
tillery sent towards them whirlwinds
of shells, the smoke from which com
pletely blotted out our columns from
time to time. When the smoke blew
away one could see the batteries still
proceeding on their triumphant way.
The men of the line regiments yelled,
wept and clapped their hands In their
enthusiasm. Some of the gunners fell
wounded, but the bridge was passed
and our guns began to get near the
enemy.
"As soon aa one passed the first
houses and got into the city .the aspect
of things changed completely. Normal
life was resuming its course, and If It
had not been for the echoes of tbe
struggle one would not have known
that a battle was In progress nearby.
In the Carso, one of tho principal
atreets, a big cafe was open, filled
with officers and civilians, the troops
and citizens fraternizing freely In their
Joy over the Italian entry Into the city.
Our flags floated from the windows of
all the houses.
"The population has almost all re
turned, for It had not fled. The Aus
trians forced the inhabitants to leave
the city Itself, but they remained scat
tered throughout the environs of the
place awlating the retreat of the
enemy to make their way back."
POLISH STATUS IN DOUBT
Germany and Austria Said to Be
Deadlocked Over Policy.
BERLIN, via London. Aug. 11. An of
ficial communication today says that
the Imperial Chancellor, Baron von
Bethmann Hollweg,- accompanied by
Gottlieb Jagow, the German foreign
minister, has gone to Vienna to visit
Baron Burian. the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister, to continue the con
ference concerning territory occupied by
the central powers.
AMSTERDAM, via London. Aug. 11.
German newspapers received here say
negotiations between Germany and
Austria-Hungary on the future political
status of Poland have been broken off
but will be resumed shortly on a new
basis. The newspapers explain th
Tne negotiations are of a. amicult na
ture, as both parties seek complete
control over an autonomous Poland.
Moose Ticket Held TTseless.
DENVER. Aug. 11 Clarence P.
Dodge, of Colorado Springs, presented
his resignation as state chairman to
the state Progressive assembly here
today. Mr. Dodg-e recommended that
no state ticket be put In the field, as
he felt It would be useless without

the eastern front says:
"Front of Archduke Charles Francis
Southwest of Monasterzyska and In the
angle formed by the Dniester and Bys

small wood north of Hardecourt.
"On the left bank of the Meuse (Ver
dun front) we made a surprise attack
on a German trench east of Hill 304

of the front Intermittent artillery
fighting occurred.
"On the night of August 9-10 French

way station and barracks at Vouzieres
and the station at Bazanoourt."
Friday' War Moves
Ac
FURTHER series of surprising suc
cesses by the armies of Generals
Sakharoff and Letchitzky were an
nounced yesterday by the Russians.
The most Important of these successes
were the capture of the Important rail
way Junction town of Stanislaus, the
definite occupation of Monasterzyska
and the capture of important positions
of the Zlota Lipa line.
Coupled with these victories was the
capture of many thousands of prison
ers, especially on the right bank of the
Zreth, where the prisoners taken num
ber 5000. The Germans appeared to
regard the Kovel-Lemberg sector as
the most critical on the eastern front,
and the appointment of Field Marshal
von Hindenburg to the chief command
undoubtedly had the effect of stem
ming temporarily the Russian advance
on the northern section of the line. But
Field Marshal von Hindenburg does not
hold the controlling command over tbe
troops guarding the southern ap
proaches to Lemberg, where General
Letchitzky, having taken Stanislaus
and being within striking distance of
Halich, Is rapidly completing his en
circlement of the army of General
Count von Bothmer.
Possession of Stanislaus and Kolomea
makes secure the Russian possession
of Bukowina and gives them a base for
an invasion of Hungary.
The German official statement yes
terday admitted that a regrouping of
the Teutonic forces was taking place.
In order to meet the new positions of
the Russian army.
Nothing- sensational Is happening on
the western front, where the entente
allies maintain a steady pressure. Al

LETTER TO EMBASSY
DIPLOMATIC ERROR
Request for Permission to
Publish Lusitania Note
Was Inadvertencee.
BERLIN FINALLY MISLED
Germany, Not Informed of Changed
Plan, Said to Have Attached
Undue Importance to Ap
parent Settlement.
WASHINGTON. Ang. 11. State De
partment officials today explained that
the recent request to the German
Embassy for permission to publish one
of Count von Bernstorffs notes on the
settlement of the Lusitania case was
an Inadvertence.
At first it was denied that any such
request had been made but an Investi
gation of the department's files dis
closed that a letter prepared by a sub
ordinate official has been signed either
by Secretary Lansing or Acting Secre
tary Polk and had been transmitted to
the German Embassy.
State Department officials declared
that too much importance had been at
tached to the request In German offl-
ial quarters and that It was not, as
nterpreted. an indication that Ger
many's proposals were to be accepted
as satisfactory.
Signing of Letter Admitted.
State Department officials today
roke their silence on the subject and
asserted that what really happened
was this:
A subordinate official who assembles
the diplomatto correspondence periodi
cally compiled and published aa a
White Book, wrote the German Em
bassy a letter, which Mr. Polk admitted
was signed either by himself or by
Secretary Lansing, for permission to
publish one of the Lusitania notes sub
mitted by the German Ambassador on
December 4. The Embassy replied
giving Its assent with the suggestion
that the last note, dated February 16,
be published at the same time. This
suggestion was not answered. On the
other hand, the suggestion that any of
the correspondence be published was
dropped at once on the decision of
higher officials that the circumstances
which Intervened to prevent a con
clusion of the negotiations had not
been altered and that the situation
till was tn a condition which did
not warrant publication of any of the
correspondence.
Embassy Not Informed.
The Embassy was not Informed of
the changed plan. Word was sent to-
Berlin that the note would be made
public here.
When information was received here
of the request to the Embassy and its
reply German Embassy officials were
questioned and they led inquirers to
believe they considered the proceding
as an Indication of acceptance on the
latest proposals. Later it was said
that diplomatic relations between, the
United States and Germany never had
been so satisfactory from their point
of view, since they were first Imperilled
by submarine warfare.
The view of the situation was iaia
before Acting Secretary Polk Wednes
day as having been gained In German
official circles. Mr. pom s repiy was
refusal even to discuss the Lusitania
case.
Today, however, as a sequel to publt
cation of a statement of the situation
as It had been gained from German
sources and laid before the btate De
partment for comment, the explanation
was made as in tne tore going.

"Our sruns shelled large stacks of
stores and convoys at a distance of only
2000 yards, the Turks replying to this
