BATTLE ON CARSO PROGRESSES ON 70-MILE FRONT WASHINGTON. Sept. 1. In the Italian offensive. counter-attacks are being beaten back at all points, according to : late dispatches received at the Italian ; embassy today, and General Cadorna, i i who is said to be conservative, declares ; j that the battle is the greatest of the :var. For the last eleven davs the Italians Ital-ians have progressed- steadilv on a 70-,mlle 70-,mlle front. The report that the Italians i destroyed the airplane sheds at Pola i seems to be confirmed by the fact that but one enemy airplane has appeared in five days and that was shot down. According to the dispatches, the Italian Ital-ian troops are wildly enthusiastic, since it seems certain that Trieste will be taken. Since the Isonzo was crossed on fourteen bridges put up under the tire of the enemy the soldiers have been eager to overtake tiie Austrians. and the plans of General Cadorna have been carried car-ried out without a disarrangement.
