"Yo have extended farther northward our occupation of Austrian territory tibdve tho Junction of tho Chlese Hlvcr with Idro Mke, nnd have occupied the mountain zone between the lakes ot Idro and Qerda. "Prominent citizens of Teno, Slasimana aitd other communities of tho Invaded realon liava presented themselves to tho commanders ot our armies of Invasion, pressing their devotion to the Italian cause. "Alplno troops engaged upon tho fron- tier of Carnla are continuing to progress, making many prisoners. "On tho Frlull frontier wo have occu pied Grndo, whero the population re ceived the Italian troops enthusiastically. ' "On the night of May 8fr-27 a flotilla ' of hydro-aeroplanes bombarded the i TrleBte-Nabretlna Hallway, destroying somo of the line. The whole flotilla re- turned safely to Its base." FOUn AR.MIES LAUNCHED. General Cadorna opened his campaign against the Austrlana with four distinct operations along a front 60 miles long, and nil of them have thus far succeeded. While four Itnllan armies pushed across tho eastern frontier of Frlull, sea oper ations were begun In tho Adriatic and , Porto Buso was attacked. Leaving tho Italian town of ClvUlale, eight miles east by northeast of L'dlne. tho first army advanced along the valley i of tho Natlson Itlver toward the Austrian town of Cnporetto, which wan occupied the first day after llerco fighting In a mountain ravine. At the samo time tho Italians attacked Mount Corrada, which was defended by n otrong fortress 2500 feet abovo sea level. The guna of this fort could throw shells Into Clvldale, and It was regarded as highly Important that It be taken. A storm attack was launched and the fort soon fell. The Italian forts near Clvldalo v opened fire against tho Austrian works, ' and nt tho samo tlmo aeroplanes wero 1 sent, out to bombard the Austrian works ' on the mountain. Tor several hours the Austrian fortress waa shelled nnd then the Infantry swept forward, driving the Austrlans from their guns. Within six hours after the can nonade had been commenced tho tricolor was floating over Mount Corrada. The Italian second amy moved against the Austrian town ot Cormons, two mllcn Inside the Austrian boundary, on the railway line running from Udlne to Go ritr. At midnight on Sunday tho ad vance guard of the Italian forces began to move through nrazznno pass and through neighboring defiles, seizing all the raylnes. Early Monday furious fight ing developed at several points on the frontier north and south of Cormons. After stiff resistance tho Austrian forces defending Brazzano pass withdrew, leav ing tlla Bersagllerl masters of the posi tion. All along the line the Austrian out posts fell back. SAN GIORGIO TAKEN . A second engagement occurred nt San Giorgio, northwest of Cormons, which the Italians captured. TVhen other sections of the Italian second army reached San Giorgio a bombardment against the Aus trian batteries on Mount Qulrle was opened nnd the position was soon in Italian hands. Hot artillery fire preceded the entry of the Italians Into Cormons. When the- Italfan Infantry began their storm attack4 furious tinhd to hand fight ing followed In the street. Although they resisted stubbornly the Austrian de fenders -were finally driven out and the tricolor raised above the Custom House. Thedtallan third army crossed the fron tier further along the road leading from Palmanovn to Gradlscn. Tho towns ot Vlsco nnd Vcrza were occupied without resistance. Tho Itnllnn fourth army occupied tho Austrian town of Cervlgnanp, on tho Trlesto-Venlvc Hallway and then took Grndo. GltADO SEASIDE ItESOUT. The Trieste Nabreslna Railway line runs along the eastern shore of tho Gulf of Trieste. It Is nt Nabreslna that the branch of tlo railway running to Venice leaves the main line.

Ho was cheered by tho big crowds ns he drove to tho Foreign Office to glvo a verbal report Cjucen Helena will reside nt Florence throughout tho war, taking personal charge of the Bod Cross nurses. Duch ess D'Aosta, wlfo of a cousin of King Victor Emmanuel, will remain In this city, having charge of tho nursing of wounded prisoners. Five of the biggest hotels In Naples hiuc been requisitioned by the Govern ment and nro being made over Into military hospitals. Fine hotels on the Italian rlviera nnd the Sorrentlno peninsula have also been tnken over for the same purpose Refugees nrrlvlng from the war zone de clare that tho Italian advanco toward tho Izouzo River wad carried out with clock like precision. Tho Austrlans planned to make their first strong defensive along tho river, whore heavy artillery had been planted nnd fortifications erected. This line has only secondary value, howovcr. Tho real defensive awaits tho Italians further to tho east on a prepared front, whero largo bodies of Austrian Hungarian and German troops have been massed and where stubborn resistance Is expected. The Roman Catholic Order of JesultB has placed at the disposal ot the Govern ment many of Its colleges, which will bo converted Into hospitals for care of the wounded. From tho extensive hospital preparations thnt are being made all over Italy, It Is evident that tho Government expects a long and bloody war. Queen Helena today put tho loval palaces at tho Qulrlual, Milan and Mnn tua at the disposal of the Italian Red Cross.

He alleged, however, that Gnus took advantage of his financial em barrassment and pressed him so hard for payment on mortgages that his property was sold and bought In at sheriff's sale by Gaus.
