REPORTED AUSTRIAN
COMMANDER RECALLED
FOR GORIZIA DEFEAT
International News Service.
LONDON, Aug. 10.—It is currently
reported here that Archduke Joseph,
commander of the Austrian forces in
the Qradiski section, has been recalled
to Vienna as a result of the over
whelming defeat at Ootizia, which re
sulted in the capture of the city by
the Italians.
The capture of Oorizia is looked
upon as of superlative importance ow
ing to its fall opening .up a wide
field for further Italian operations in
| the Gradiski section. The fall of
Gorizia places the Austrians in a po
sition where an effective defense of
the great Adriatic seaport, Trieste is
now practically impossible and also
seriously menaces the great Austrian
naval stronghold at Pola. It is also
reported here on the strength of in
formation received from reliable
sources that the Austrian socialists are
being secretly encouraged by the gov
: eminent to agitate for a separate
I peace.

STEFANSSON SHIP
RETURNS FROM N.
Tiir Stofansson expedition ship.
(iiadiatoi. one of the litre, vessels em
ployed b\ ttie world famous explorer,
\ itilja Im ur SI ( l a nsson, discoverer of a
new land north of I’riuce I’atriek Land
in la I it ude x2 degrees north and I la
degrees west longitude, dropped anch
or in till* roadstead shortly before
noon today lint brings no news id’ tin
fate or present whereabouts of the
noted Stefanssou or those who ac
companied him on his return to tin
newly discovered land last summer.
Aboard the little schooner was one
of the men who shared in tie remark
able journey made by Slefasson across
tile wide reaches of the Arctic (luting
the winter of till 1-15 and which re
sulted in the discovery of ttie extension
of the continental shelf far north of
un> point hitherto explored in that
section of the northern sea. This man
is Ole Anderson, a lean, wiry speci
men of humanity, tough as the great
Stefanssou himself and credited with
abilities equal to those of the famous
explorer. Anderson has but little
to say respecting his own part in tin
famous journey made by Stefnnsson,
Storkor Storkerson and himself and
only smiles faintly at the suggestion
that ho is a hero. Anderson says that
nothing has been hoard of Stefnnsson
at Herschal island since his departure
tiut expresses no fears that he will
not return in safety. The little
schooner with Anderson in charge de
parted from Herschel island on July
27 after wintering at King Point. The
last time Anderson saw Stofansson
was when he left him nearly a ye at
ago on Bank’s Lund whither he ac
companied, the explorer with supplier
for the future work contemplated by
Stefnnsson on the new found land
Anderson states that the Polar Bear,
Stefansson's principal ship since the
wrecking of the Knrluk off Herald
island three years ago, probably win
tered at some point on the northwest
side of Banks Land but says that it
would entirely depend on the tcc con
ditions. The Oladiator encountered no
difficulties on the Journey to Nome.
Anderson reports that Capt. Peterson
with the erman loft Barrow for the
cast on the third. Anderson brought
down a considerable quantity of furs
nnd business letters and communica
tion from persons engaged in trading
along the northern shore. He will re
main in Nome for a week before again
setting out for Herschel.
