Just as our troops entered the captured I lines. Heavy masses of the enerav then made counter attacks and our troops, stupefied or asphyxiated by the i gas, were forced to fall back to their own trenches. "As a result of all these continuous I efforts all the heights on the right ! bank of the Isonzo. forming the | bridgehead of Gorizia, and Monte San Michael, oil th<s left bank, were cap tured and are securely held by the Italians. This uninterrupted three-dav I fight covers with glory the troops of 1 the third army, commanded by the Duke of Aosta." Both Inhabitants and Dwellings of Gorizia Escape Destruction By Associated Press Rome, Aug. 9, ((Gorizia).—Noth withstr-nding the desperate fighting around Gorizia, the city itself was not ( burned by the Austrians or destroyed by the Italian artillery fire; nor were the inhabitants injured, these to the number of 20,000 having previously evacuated the city. It was the desire of the Italian commander General Ca dorna, to save Gorizia from destruc tion by the retreating Austrians and to that end he employed strategy. After taking the mountain tops of San Michele and Sabotino he attacked Gorizia not only from the front acros* the Isonzo but also from the sides and rear. When the Duke of Aosta, 1 commander of the Third army, who was present during the three davs of fighting entered the city after fore-1 tng the bridge across the river, at the head of cavalry and cycle corps, Gori- j 7.ia was found to be deserted save by great numbers of wounded and dving Austrians on the outskirts. The duke •vas accompanied by his cousin, the King. The only damage done by the Austrians was that occasioned by their attempts to destroy milltarv buildings •Illed with large quantities of supplies The fighting at the bridge across the Isonzo at Podgora, leading into Gorizia was among the most sanguin ary episodes of the war. Before this encounter the bridge had been named Death Pass. After the Italian guns 'iad obtained command of Gorizia from the heights of Sabotino. San Michele. Monteforin, Monte Santo and Basso Fortina, the Italian iafantry ad vanced toward the bridge. After the wildest fighting in which one hundred Austrians were drowned, the bridge n-as taken.

Va., Aug. 10.—A re port reached here this morning to the effect that Jarrolds Valley, a town of 500 inhabitants in Boone county at the head 01 Coal river, was washed away in yesterday's cloudburst and that 75 of its populace had lost their lives. That section of Jarrolds Valley be tween Fields and Joes creeks was swept clear by the water, according to reports here. It is said that at least 500 houses were washed away. In habitants had no warning of the ap proach of the water and it is believed the loss of life may be even greater than that on Paint and Cabin creeks. More than tv.'o thousand residents of the valley ar«' perched on the hill tops, the majority of them without sufficient clothing and all of them in danger of starvation. Because of the isolated character of the section, reMef will be slower in reaching there than in other affected sections, and fears are felt that many of those save-i from the flood will perish of starvation.
