Vienna dispatches leport th.f hun
dreds of Italian troops along the Tyrol
frontier are dally deserting to the Aus
trians. The men state that Italy
Is heartily tired of the great struggle
already and fully realized the futility of
succeeding in an invasion of the Aus
trian territory through the Tyrolese
Alps. The Italian troops are lighting
with little spirit and at several points
nenr the Swiss frontier have displayed
the greatest cowardice in the face of
joint attacks of the German and Aus
trian troops. The Italian forces at
tempting to advance in the Gradiska
section have become hopelessly stalled
and are unable to move the defending
Austrians from their strongly intrench
ed positions. Severe fighting is taking
place along the Isonza front with the
enemy making heroic efforts to pierce
the Austrian lines. Six hundred Ital
ian troops were captured in the recent
fighting in the Monfaleone section.
The heavy resistance encountered
along the eastern slopes of the Adigle
valley has caused a complete suspen
sion of the Italian advance on Rover
edo and the enemy are now endenvor

of a strong Austrian offensive. The
Montenegrins cave been severely de
feated In the neighborhood of Trebinge
by means of night attacks and have
evacuated many miles or territory in

WASHINGTON, July 10. Ambassa
dor von Bernstorff is said to have
cabled the Kaiser advising him that
the German reply to the Lusitania note
as outlined by Gerard is far from be

tion must therefore he charged to the
British." The note further declare*
that since March 1. England has been
taking from neutral ships, without
further formality, all merchandise pro
ceeding to Germany aa well as the
merchandise coming from Germany,
even when such merchandise was not
owned by German consignors “En
gland has not hesitated to seize upon
even the property belonging to citizens
• ■f neutral nations." the note declare*,
"and has in every way displayed her
intention to permit nothing to pass
either to or from Germany which will
help to Injure or cripple German nation.
Through the acts of Great Britain, the
German people have been given their
choice of perishing from starvation
with their women and children nr of
relinquishing their independence.” The
note further contends that if the Lusi
tania had been spared, thousands of
cases of ammunition would have been
sent to Germany’s enemies and there
by thousands of German mothers and
children would have been robbed of
their bmad winners. The only point
upon which the note gives a seeming
assurance of anything like a definite
nature is contained In a paragraph in
which It is stated that "Oermsn.v de
sires to assure the American govern
ment that vessels belonging to the t’nl
Idp States will not be interfered with
in the prosecution of legitimate traf
fic and the lives of American citizens
embarked in neutral ships shall not
lie placed In Jeopardy.” Germany in
sists, however, that, "th* Imperial gov
ernment is unable to admit that Am
erican citizens can protect an enemy's
ship from attack through the mere fact
of their presence on hoard of their
vessels." Gomment by Hip morning pa
pers throughout the country indicates
that it Is the general view that the
government is no nearer an under
standing than before the dispatch of
the first note to Berlin, the majority
nf the papers declare that the note can
in no sense lie considered as a direct
reply to the I’nited States.
