ITALIAN AIRMEN BOMBARD TWO AUSTRIAN POSTS Damage Railway Junction and Wreck Hostile Sea¬ plane in Air Duel. AUSTRIANS ADVANCE IN CARNIAN ALPS Repulse Two Attacks Against Their Positions on Separate Heights. Paris, Aug. «i. Two attacks by the Italians, one directed «from Sagrado and another against the heights of Podgora, hav« failed, according to the Vienna official commun.cation, which adds that Austrian troops have capt¬ ured sum« favorable positions in the Carnian Alps. Italian dirigibles bave played an im¬ portant part in the engagements oi the last few day-, as reported by Rome, successfully bombarding Austrian en¬ campments around Lake Doberdo and the railway junction of Opcina. AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL. The Austrian official communication is as follows: The daily repeated attempts by the Italian« to attack always terminate in complete failure. Where the Ital¬ ian infantry assumes an attack the movement either is repulsed bv our artillery or thrown back with heavv losses by our infantry. Kven well trained trun.- and thorough artillery preparation have proved unavailing in altering this course of events. Thus failed on the night of the 5th and vesterdav several attacks one directed from Sagrado and an¬ other agninst the heights of Pod¬ gora. where the field wa« covered with the bodies of Italians. There were also unsuccessful attacks on th" Plava sector and in the Krn dis¬ trict. An Italian captive balloon was shot down near Monfalcone. In the Carnian Alps our troops, in the vicinity of Monte Puralva. occu¬ pied romc favorable height posiCon* on Italian territory. On the Tyrolean front an enemv battalion's attack against Coldilana, Uuchenstein. was renulsed. Inside the valley of the Ortler dis¬ trict 'Tyrol) one of our patrols at¬ tacked a hostile half company, caus¬ ing it considerable losses. ITALIAN OFFICIAL The following official statement from the Italian general headquarters, dated August 6, has been made public here: There are no events of special im¬ portance from any part of the front on which to repor». On the Carao plateau, however, we have been able to make further progress. We have taken 1*50 prison¬ ers, one of them an officer. Last night one of our dirigibles bombarded the enemy's encampments around Lake Doberdo. It was shelled by artillery, but returned safely to its shed. Another dirigible bombarded with great effect the railroad junction of Opcina northeast of Trieste i. On its way back it was attacked by an Austrian seaplane, which dropped in¬ flammable bombs upon it. Ourdirig- ble succeeded, by its tire, in putting the Austrian to flight and returned to our lines undamaged. Chasms in Carnic Alps Wedged with Bodies Turin, Aug. 8 Dispatch to "The Lon¬ don Daily Chronicle"). At present the uplaiuls heid by the Italians north of Monfalcone afford them but a meagre a.lvantage «gainst the enemy's left Rank, be<*auac these positions are at the mercy of 'he Austrian l--inch bat¬ teries on Mount Queiceto, northeast of Duino. This Isit named vantage point still subject« Monfsleone to a shell lire, and the dock ysrd«, hospital, bar¬ racks and other public buildings have suffered considerably. The Italians, however, continue '.«> inflict grievous on the enemy, effectually dis¬ persing mi.s.»es of infantry marching from the south and east toward the battlefield. It has been ascertained that the ob¬ stinare night assaults against the wrested peaks of Medetta, Mount Que¬ sal'« and Schsrnitx, in the Carnic Alps, east of the Montecroce Pass, cost the attacking columns far dearer than the official reports estimated at the time.

STEWARDESS NIPS PLOT TO SINK SHIP Slight Shock Enough to Cause Damage Facts Withheld Until Steamer's Arrival. Wh»n the White Star liner Arabic. which left this port more than a week ago. arrived saf-ly yesterday at'Liver¬ pool, the ban of secrecy imposed upon the Police Department by the White Star Line was iif'ed and announce¬ ment was made that two sticks of dynamite were found on board the ves¬ sel the night before she sailed. The dynamite, which ivas secreted under a scat in the woman's lavatory, was old anu would have explode«! easily, according to the officials in the Hureau of Combustibles. While the cxDlosive might have caused some damage to the lavatory and wps pewerful enough to kill or injure a few persons who might be near, it wa« not of sufficient explosive poiver to sink the vessel or cause any serious damage. At 11 o'clock the ni!fht before »ail- ing the dynamite was found by a stewardess, who reported it to the chief officer. Detectives from shore were called to investigate.. Word wa« promptly sent to Police Headquarters, and Owen Kgan, bomb expert, was sent to examine it. Fearful lest friends of passengers on the Adriatic become uneasy, represen- of the steamship company re¬ quested that the matter be kept secret. This was done by Police Headquarters, the facts being maiic public yesterday 4vhen word was received here by the steamship company that the Arabic had arrived safely at Liverpool. a AMERICAN CELLARS | RUSSIAN OASES Natives Glad Liquor Is Prohibit. ed, Says Former Petro« grad Consul. Dr. Jacob E. Connor. American Con¬ sul at Petrograd under President Taft and who lived in the Russian capital for several years after his succe«sor was selected by the present adminis¬ tration, returned to this country last night on the Norwegian steamship Kristianiafjord. He said the Russian government and people had not the slightest doubt of their ultimate success. The evacuation of War.»aw a ,.l (iermany's recent occu¬ pation of the city, he declared, would not h.» looked upon by the Russians as any suggestion of defeat. The road from Pe'rograd to Archan¬ gel, he said, was heing pushed rapidly and many Austrian prisoners were be¬ ing sent there to »vo»k on its construc¬ tion. Women and children were help¬ ing on the work. too. Dr. Connor de¬ clared, and great strides were being ma«te in changing the road from Petro- grad to Kola to a broad gauge.
