Plava, which they took by storm after
a brilliant charge. Plnva Is about seven
miles north of Oorlzla on tho Isonzo
River. Occupation of the heights on the

Moos near tho Helm chain of hills.
The Austrian city of MslborRhctto has

Italian hands. In a fiercely contested
two-day battlo the soldiers of Italy won
a brilliant victory and have (Irmly estab
lished themselves on the cast bank of tho
Isonzo to the north of Gorlzla.

they woro rorccd to raco a Heavy Aus
trian (Ire whllo crossing the Isonzo on

Operations on other points of tho Ital
lnn front aro being ctirrlod out with equal
vigor. Tho first four weokB of the war
have been marked by an uninterrupted
scrips of succssca from Trcntlno to tho

The statement follows:
"Artillery duels and engagements be

the head of tho Valonla Tass. They
were repulsed In each case.
BUILT NEW BRIDGES.
"New details now have been received
of tho struggle which continued two
days and a night for tho heights on
the left bank of tho iBonzo River, com
manding riava village, which Is situated
at the bottom of a defile Inclosed by
steep, wooded slopes between which tho
river runs, deep and rapid. The bridge
crossing tho Isonzo at this point had
been destroyed by tho enemy. With
patient efTorts and boldness we threw
bridges across during the night and at
dawn on Juno 1G our troops began an
P"nii The movement was carried out
all day slowly on account of tho enemy's
reslstanco nnd tho difficulties of the
ground, Increased by serious artificial ob
stacles and solid entrenchments protected
by extensive barbed-wlro entanglements
strengthened by Iron T bars,
"Numerous heavy guns, even 12-mch
guns, were concealed In commanding posi
tions which wero difficult for our artillery
to reach. Nevertheless, supported by re
peated bayonet charges we debouched on
tho enomy's first line toward evening.
During the night the enemy tried several
times with sudden dashes to deprive us of
tho ground conquered, but always they
wore thrown back.
"On the 17th our troops completed their
success by carrying the heights still in
the hands of the enemy. The latter then
concentrated on them violent artillery and
machine gun tire, which was followed up
by another counter-attack by fresh
troops. He was decimated and definitely
driven back at the point of the bayonet.
We made more than 150 prisons,;. In
cluding four officers, nnd captured a
quantity of rifles, munitions and one ma
chine gun. Our losses wero serious, but
tho results obtained were Important.
"On the Isonzo, which we passed by
main force, the enemy's positions, natu
rally commanding and further strength
ened by art, have been, one nfter another,
taken by assault. Attempts to assumo
tho offensive by numerous seasoned
troops hava been constantly repulsed. On
the heights of Flava our Infantry, well
supported by artillery, has given a fine
example of tenacity and bravery."

EYEWITNESS' STORY.
"Tho scene was terrible, and I don't
know whon I shall see worse," said Dr.
Leon T. Ashcraft, 2103 Chestnut street,
who was ono of tho first on the Bccne
and for about 10 minutes tho only physi
cian available. Doctor Ashcraft was
walking toward his summer homo nt 103
South Morris avenue, when ho noticed
the crowd and hurried to tho wave-lashed
beach.
"For n time It looked as If there would
bo a panic," he said. "But tho bathers re
covered their nervo and worked hard, both
In resoulng and reviving those brought

clerks and, In fact, every ono on tho bench
did heroic work. At first wo wcro almost
bewildered by the numbers brought In
unconscious. There wcro at least 20 in
tho llrst 15 minutes. The surf was ter
rible. I believe that all tho bodies were
recovored, although there were many
rumors of bathers missing. When I loft
there still was a report that an unknown
man wns missing."
Although at pollco headquarters at At

reported missing up until a lato hour,

declared It Is possible that many othors
may have been Bwept away.
"I saw nt least 35 peoplo In grave dan
ger," ho said yesterday after he had re
covered from his work of rcBcue, "and I
am sure wo did not get them nil. It wns
ono of the heaviest seas I havo ever ex
pel fenced. Most of tho oxcurslonlsts who
come to the shoro for tho week-end do not
realize what the 'offset' la. It Is nn almost

against, and even then he's a fool to go
for out If there's nn offset current. It
was the offset that was responsibly for
today's tragedies."
Many peoplo who were of Chnnnell's
opinion that nil tho dead were not yet
known, lined tho beach until a late hour
last night, from Chelsea avenue, whero
tho majority of the drownings took placo,
to the Garden Pier, whero. It was
thought, taking the tide Into considera
tion, bodies might ba wnshed up.
CHANNELL'S STORY,
"It all happened so qulckl? that' It
doesn't seem posslblo so many could havo
been swamped," Chnnnell said. "I know
It wns a bad day and the undertow was
going out strong nna so I Kept my eye
shurp on the bathers. A little beforo noon
I noticed two men nnd two women going
oui too iar. rney uicin't seem to be in
any great distress, but I felt that if they
know the danger they wouldn't Ventura
out that far. This was near Chelsea
avenue. I decided to go out after them.
I didn't tell anybody because It wasn't
necessary then. Thero wasn't any great
danger. All they needed was to be
warned.
"When I got near to them, though, I
saw that one of the party, a man, seemed
to be pretty well gone. I caught up with
him and gpl him In, nnd then, of course,
I knew Instantly that wo'd have to go
after the others.
"At this time my pal, John Zell, an
other lifeguard, waa getting ready to go
out. Then a man came up to me.
"By this time Walter Walganton, an
other guard, had gone in n little further
down the beach where William Green, n
flsherrnan. was in danger In his boat.
Green had several men with him and they
all were calling for help. Their boat had
capsized.
"By the time that my pals had brought

selves. We simply dropped on the beach
and couldn't do any more, How many
went down I don't know, but It was the
biggest thing that has evor happened

WASHINGTON, Juno Jl
Serious charges of abuso by tho Am.. 1
of the American flag have been mails by I
uermnny to 1110 atato department, It
became known today, '
They covered at least half a dottn
instances In tho Inst two months. Each
waa taken under consideration by th,
department, and the Embassy at London
was called on for a report,
Thus far, St was Bald, no reply has bun
mado to any of the complaints.
NEUTRAL FLAGS MISUSED,
It was learned on high authority' that,
in addition to theso complaints, cases
wcro cited whero other neutrals' (lass
have been flown by British merchantmen
sent out, 'thus disguised, to comb th
seas for German submarines.
It was expected hero that these charges
would figure prominently in Germany's
reply to tho latest American note,
Tho theory was that Germany would
say that whllo such methods nre per
sisted In It will bo Impossible for Ger
man submarine commanders to obicrvo
tho ordinary usages of stoppage and
Bearch In dealing with suspected mer
chant vessels.
In this connection the charge?) mads
officially by the Berlin Government, that
Germany's most popular horo, Comman
der Wcddlgon, nnd the crow of subma
rine U-29 lost their lives whon their boat
was attacked by n British vessel flying
tho Swedish flag, has already been taken
cognlzanco of by tho Stato Department.
Inasmuch as tho U-23'e entire crow was
said to havo perished when their craft
was rammed and Bunk, odlclals admitted
they wore puzzled to undorstand how th
German Government got Its Information.
Tho British Admiralty having declared
tho submarine was dostroyed by a British
warship, flying tho British flag, It was
thought llkoly tho London Foreign Odlts
would bo aBked for a complete report, In
case the U-20 appears as a potent factJr
In the next noto from Berlin to Washing
ton. The various German accusations were
expected also to figure largely In Ameri
ca's next noto to England. Officials ad
mitted that It has been openly charged
thnt among vessels, which have displayed
the Stars and Stripes on their way
through St. George's Channel, across ths
Ihish Sea and to French ports, have been
freighters carrying cargoes consisting en
tirely of munitions.
In ono Instance, It is asserted, a cargo
of horses for tho French army was car
ried In a steamship which flew the Amer
ican flag almost continuously from the
time It cleared the Virginia capes,
Acting Secretary of State Lansing has
discussed theso complaints with President
Wilson Informally, but as yet no nctlon
lias been decided on.
Now, however, that It Is almost certain
Germany Intends to make this alleged
misuse of tho American flag a distinct
factor in her explanations to tho United
States, It la expected tho Washington Ad
ministration will have a searching Investi
gation mado of tho entire matter.
