Whole Battalions Wiped Out by Terrific Fire STRASBURG ATTACKED the Associated Press). —Attacks that In bitterness and aetermination lack description; losses that run into thou sands; desperate, heroic, useless infan try assaults following hour-long ar tillery fire, have characterized the ter rible struggle between the Italian and Austrian forces along the lower Isonzo river. When the war shall have ended It is doubtful whether Neuve Chapelle and Ypres will stand out more grimly ter rible than some of the bloody battles of early July along the Astro-Italian frontier. A picture of the green Isonzo liter ally afloat with bodies; of the meadows and fields along Its course a veritable shambles; of whole companies and battalions wiped out of existence on both sides; of prowling night attacks checked by ghost-like searchlights, and of almost unbearable artillery fire de stroying everything in its path, is drawn by Leonhard Adelt, correspond ent of the Berliner Tageblatt In a dis patch from the Isonzo frontier.

No show on earth exhibits finer specimens of high school and high jumping horses. An interesting performance by Shetland ponies appeals to the children. Among the hundred arenlc acts are astonish ingly clever and accomplished acro batic exploits; equllibristic feats of strength, acts of deftness and dexter ity; difficult ladder balancing acts; also an innovation is being presented this year in the way of a novel danc ing exhibit, participated in by a num ber of perfectly formed young women. The Nymphs of the Sta.tues—the act beautiful has aroused unprecedented enthusiasm. The Jones Bros, have left nothing undone in their efforts to pre sent the finest circus in the world. The mile-long parade, starting at 10 o'clock a. m., tells the story.
