ON TO TRIESTE Capture is Believed to Mean . a Comparatively Clear Road to the Main Objective, Rome, Oct. 24, -Gorizia, the Icey to the eutire campaign on the Isonzo, has fallen before the combined artil- lery and infantry ettacke of the Ital- iaus, according to news brought to Rome to -day by staff officers who have just returned from field head- quarters. These officers further report that the results of the Italian offensive, begun several days ago on the entire front from the Alps to the sea; are nitwit more important than has been anetounced in the official reporte from Gen, Cadoruct chief ofstaff, which Larva.ebeen given out by the War Office Official information on the extent of the Italian gains in Tyrol and on the Isonzo are, they say, withheld un- til Lite positions conquered by the Italian troops are consolidated - and their advance is made a permanent victory. According to these officers Gorizia, the .Austrian stronghold on the Isonz, fell three days ago. CAPTURED 1,000 PRISONERS. The official statement termed by the Italian War Office to -night makes no mention of the fall of Gorizia, eseets'e: necir.),enalainelit titIO vicinity, in which the Italians were victorious. The Italians took enemy ,entrenchments on artonta. Sabetina and the Podgora Hill, in the Gorizia zone, and under fire or the Austrian artillery captured by infantry attacks positions on the Carso plateau whiph the Italian artillery had bombarded. The Austrians made 'a counter-attack and the positions were taken and re- taken, the Italians -at nightfall retain- ing their advantage on the left wing, east of Peteano, and in the centre in the the direction of Parcottini. The Italians claim the capture of 1,003 Pri- soners in the day's fighting on the Isonzo. For e five months the Italian big guns have been hammering the strong forts on the steep hills around Gorizia, which, situated in a pocket formed by a bend in the Isonzo, its natural protection on the west and the mountainsstretching in a semi- circle north, east and south, has been regarded by the Austrians and- the military experts of other countries as an impregnable fortress. CLEAR ROAD TO TRIESTE. The Italian general staff has made ne secret of its belief that tile fall of Gorizia means a clear road to Trieste, the great Austrian port at the head of the Adriatic, which is the chief It- alian objective in the eamPaign. Gorizia is about 22 miles by rail from the Adriatie port, From the stronghold ruus three railroads. One of these -railroads, following the Isonzo to Sagrado, south of Gradisea, and thence turning eastward and fol lowing the Adriatic coast to the Adri- atic port, is in the hands of the Ital- ians as far as Monteleone, 12 miles front Trieste.

The seizure of •Gorizia makes ef- fective the advances made by the Italians on this plateau, which have been very slow on account of the nature of the ground. The Carso (literally "rook") is a vast tableland or chalky , formation, in which the rains, instead of forming streems, have dug out natural trenthee and "bouches de loup," which have been occupied by the Austrian infantry, while the heights at the edge of the plateau and in its centre have been transformed into strongly fortified yIt witiolaiss. impossible for the Reline either to cross the plateau or to skirt It on the road to Trieste while the guns of Gorizia held ,up the flank cif the invaders. Further up the Izonzo there is another fortress Tohnino, about nine miles north, and because of the torrential course of the Isonzo, dashing between cliffs several hma dred feet 'high; military operations between the two feetresses Were al' most impossible. Hence the Italian cdoesctiRion to reduce the fortress at any MAIN AUSTRIAN DEFENCE. To the west of Gorizia, on the western bank of the Isonzo, is the spur of Podgora, beneath which the higa rcad and the railroad cross the river, This was the main defence of the Austrians against the Milan at, tacks.

TEUTONS NNE CMS Austro -Germans Have Failed to Smash the .0zar's Armies. Crisis is Past, and Better Things Are Forecasted. London, Oct. 25, -The following statement from it high authority, rep- resenting the views a the Russian 'staff regarding the Russian military situation, has been received here from Inc correspondent of the Times at Russian headquarters: "From May till October the Russian army has been subjected to uninter- tupted blows along a front of 700 lades. 'The' Austro -Germans have applied every possible means, not excepting such as are forbidden by international treaties, in order to increase the prod - Bare against Ur3. Masses of their troops were flung against this front and sent to destruction, regardless of losses. Military history doesnot afford en - other example of such preseure. "During these months of conthiuous and prolonged action, the high qual- ities anti the mettle of our 'troops under the difficulties and arduous conditions of retreat have been de- monstrated afresh. Notwithstanding his obstinacy in fighting and his per- sietency in carrying out manoeavres, the enemy is atill confronted by an army which fully retains its strength and morale, and its ability not only to offer staunch and successful resist- ance, but to assume the offensive and inflict blows, which has been demon- strated by the events of recent days. "This affords the best proof that the Austro -Germans have failed to destroy or even disorganize our army. Seeing that they failed in that effort during five months which were most favor- able to them, it would be impossible for them to repeat the Galician and Vistula exploits now that the success -6e of the Allies in the west have com- plicated the strategical. positions. "The crisis has passed favorably for us. We issued safely from difficult position in the advanced Vistula theatre, where we were enveloped on three sides, and now stand based upon the centre of our empire, unexhausted by war. It is true that there is still much fierce, deterrnined fighting ahead; there may be movements rear- wards, but there certainly will be advances• also. "Our army lives in expectation of a general offensive, and looks with full confidence to the armies of its allies. we will march boldly and cheerfully forward, conscious that in ao doing it is defending the interests of our coun- try and the interests of our alltes. "A stirring etruggie with the forces O nature has schooled the Russians to hardships and ingrained in theft the instinct to hasten to the puccor and relief of to brother in need. Hence en appeal from our allies will always find a warm response from the Rus- sian Only." The correspohdent reniarks that the concluding phrase, referring, as it doubtless does, to Serbia, typifies the deep-seated institet of the Ruselan to respond to blood ties.

STRIVING HARD TO gill 3E0811 Allies Are Striking On Five Fronts With That Main Idea, .And Good Effects Are Already Ling Shown. London, Oct. 24. -The spirit or co- operation that animates the allied War Offices and is co-ordinating the common campaign against the Cen- tral Empires, was hever better exem- plified than by it series of develop- ments of the last forty-eight hours. North, east, south and west the allied powers have moved simultaneously by land and sea. 'Frain Ituesia to Italy, from Belgium to the Aegean, the forces of the Entente unified their actions, all with one purpose -to re- lieve the strain that threatens to break Serbia. Italy, which, for weeks, has done nothing in a military way, has launch- ed the greatest offensive she has yet undertaken against the Austrian fron- tier. Russia, taking advantage of the con- trol she has retained over the Gulf of Riga, has landed a force op. the Cour- land coast and' is threatening the rgar of the German army in front of Riga. Prance is increasing slowly, but in- exorlably her pressure in Alsace-Lor- raine and in .Chainpagne.

Entente Powers Begin to See a Menace to Their Arms, London, Oct, 24.- • The attitude of Greece as viewed by the Entente powers has changed from a puzzle into a menace. The British press is begin- ning to manifest symptoms of anxiety, and some papers frankly express the fear that Greece may at any moment turn against the allies and attack tlte allied forces which she allowed t6 land tn her territory. The predominant note in all edi- torial discussions of the situation' Is a demand that the allies ascertain eery promptly and equally clearly just "where they stand," or rather wliere Greece proposed to stand if Serbia should be actually crushed and the invaders have their hands free for further operations. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "It Greece's sovereign reinaine con- vinced that Germany and her allies have the upper hand, what is there in his past conduct to ensure that lie will not make a treacherous attack on our forces at the first sign of their sus- taining a check elsewhere? "There is every- need for the 011E% to place their relations with :areece on a footing which will sprevent further 'surprises." Athens despatches continue to hint at pourparlers between Greece and Bulgaria for an understanding. The Greek Foreign Office denies these re- ports, but the,Nea Hellas, an Opposi- tion organ, insists that they are true.
