ITALIANS STRIKE TREENDOUS
BLOW AT ENEMY ON ISO ZO FR3NT
Austrians Lose 100,000 Men -Splendid Aerial and Artillery Work
of Italians Demoralizes Foe.
Ronne, Aug, 25. -The Italian troops',
on the Isonzo front are marching to:
complete victory. The battle along the i
Isonzo has developed further brilliant
successes. General Cadorna's men,
who at the beginning of the offensive
effected a new crossing of the river' '
north of Gorizia, at a point where the
Austrians believed such a feat was im-
possible, have won another spectacu-;
lar victory by scaling Monte Santo,!
2,245 feet high, and placing their flag
there.
The official communication on the
result of the battle shows that the de-
- moralization of the Austrian troops is
in part due to the extraordinary aerial I
and artillery work of the Italians,
which has destroyed not only the linea
of communication, but has resulted in
the burning of all the main food sup-
ply stations of the Austrians, who for
the past week have been starving at
many points between Tolmino and the
sea. Thio also accounts for the un-
usual number of prisoners and wound-
ed.
The total losses of the Austrians
from all causes are reckoned at near-
ly 1.00,000, the most important of
which, in the Carso region, have 'not
yet been officially announced. It is
said that among the losses of the Aus-
trians are many men of the famous
Twelfth division, popularly known as
the "iron division."

London, Aug, 26. -British troops

tablishing the British former posi-
t tions. A. German counter-attack lat-
er was repulsed. The statement tells

Hon. F. G. Macdiarmid, Provincial
Minister of Public Works, in co-opera-

nounced the intention of the Ontario
Government to develop large areas of
the reserved waters of Ontario as a
permanent source of fish food supply
for the people of the Province. As a
beginning of this important national
undertaking, lakes like Nipissing and
Nepigon will be immediately develop-
ed. The resources of these important
waters have been ascertained, and
while it is not at present possible to
state with exactness the quantity of
fish obtainable for public use, it is
known that the added food supply
which will be secured for the people
of Ontario will in the aggregate
amount annually to several million
pounds. The chief fish of these wa-
ters are whitefish, trout, pickerel an3l
sturgeon, of which whitefish is the
