ITALY STRIKES QUICKLY AND
CROSSES FRONTIER
\
First Report From Rome Says Army
Has Occupied Several
Towns of Importance.
London, May 26.?Austria struck
first with her navy and aircraft along ,
Italy's east coast; Italy promptly
fQuntered by throwing troops across
th? northeastern frontier and occu- f
pying a stretch of Austrian territory
along the River Izonos. Thus,
although Field Marshall !Von 'Hindenburg,
who has a reputation for 1
forcing matters, is reported in command
of the Austro-German troops
along th new" front, Italy, in a 1
sense has forestalled him.
Rome officially announces that the
. Italians have occupied a number of t
AftmnardHvolr Imnnrtant towns and
have compelled the Austrians to retreat.
t
This, In brief, summarizes the first
thirty-six hours of the newest phase
of the everwidening European con- j
flict, which, being new, appeals to
the popular Imagination, sated by the
seemingly unending struggle in the ^
other war theatres.
The ^apidj ptroke \of the Italian N
army would seem to besbeak long
preparation, bearing out wjhat the
press of the allied countries contend- '
ed months ago, that Italy would *
throw her lot with the Entente and
w^s only waiting for an opportune
tiipe. Rome's first bulletin dealing I
with the movements of the army C
indicates t$iat two movements! are
\)h(|or way?one to the northward,
toward the Carnic Alps, the other 1
through the region of Friuli, ostensi- h
bly fimed at Triest and the Istian
0?hinsula.| Corvignano, one of the
Austrian towns occupied by the Ital- d
, lans, ,4s only about ten miles Inland T
P? from the gulf of Triest Both thrusts
- should develop severe fighting,
tei*- Gefman claims for the day embrace r
>*^e8^rad laorth of Przemsysl. In
SV- tfof latter region it is announced that
. Q6q, Mackenson is again moving for- j,
WhFd and taking a colossal number y
of prisoners.
The British war office admits that
the British have been unable entirely ^
to reform their line dented by the j,
dovetails with German claims of advances
in the region of Flanders.
The most interesting statement in ?
the British announcement is that u
"With due precautions," gas attacks
can be "met and defeated." This is
particularly pertinent, in that igas v
bids fair to be used more and more, ?
possibly by all the contenders.
Attesting to the extremely sanguinary
character of the recent land fight- t)
ing in the Dardenelles, there came j
tonight a list of 919 casualties among j
Australians antrasroil in this PM
terprise. The Turkish losses apparently
have been greater, as it was j
necessary for them on Sunday last to j
secure an nrmistlc to bury their dead, ?.
3,000 of whom lay piled before the
British trenches.
j
AMERICAN SHIP DAMAGED. e
The American freight steamer Ne- 1
braskan was tori>edoed or hit by a
mine about 40 miles off the Irish coast
Tuesday afternoon. There were no c
passengers, and no members of the 3
crew were hurt. Immediately after 1
the explosion showing that the ship
had been hit the crew took to the
boats, but later, seeing there was no '
danger, they returned to the ship. The 1
ship was not seriously damaged, and 1
the crew got it under way and at last
reports was lien<ling toward i-iverpooi.
It is not known what the course of '
the United States government will he. 1
as the officials are without definite in- I
formation as to whether a mine or i
toriiedo did the damage. Nor are other
details known. Should it be develoi>ed
that the Nehraskan was torpedo- ]
ed without warning an aggravating I
clr *urj>ance will he added to an al- .?
ready tense -situation.
Transportation Badly Needed by Amer
icas 1
Washington, May L'G.?The comtner- i
cial indejiendence of the western hemis- (
phere and the pre-euiinenee of the Uni- <
ted States in Latin American trade is
imjiossible until adequeate transporta
tiou facilities, both by water and rail '
are provided. This is the sentiment I
expressed by the Pan-American Finan- i
cial Congress today when it took up i
for consideration the problems present- 1
ed because of lack of transportation fa- 1
duties. 1
