ITALY'S FORMIDABLE TASK Minister Tells of Immense Difficulties at Gorizia (Special Cable to The Gazette.) Rome. Aug.

8. Signor Orlando, minister of justice, who has lately returned from the front, warns his fellow-countrymen of the immense difficulties of the struggle around Gorizia, on the high plateau of Carso, which might almost be tailed impregnable. "Looking at the line protecting the left bank of the Ionzo," he says, "one receive the impression that God, in creating it, axted like an omnipotent officer of military engineering, rendering the task of defence as easy as the task of attackinit is formidable. HAD AXE ANDREVOLVER Demented Man Attempts to Kill Russian Minister London, August 9 An attempt to assassinate M. Neratoff, assistant Russian minister of foreign affairs, is related by Reiner's correspondent at Petroprad.

M. Neratoff'a assailant, a former official of tha department, rushed into the assistant minister's room, brandishing an axe.

Today was the second anniversary of the freezing in of the Karluk, Wilhjalmur Stefansson's exploring ship, and the end of a year and four months eince Stefansson was last seen by men who afterwards returned to civilization.

The survivors of the expedition and the friends of Stefansson are hanging' to a slender thread of hope that he may have been rescued or that his rescue may be effected this month, when two whaling ships go to Wrangel Island, north Siberia, in the hope of finding that he and his comrades have reached land there. One of these ship is the Belvedere, commanded by Olaf Swenson, who, on September 7, 1914, reached Wrangel Island on the power-boat King and Winge and rescued sixteen members of the party under Captain Bartlett. Captain Lane, of the Polar Bear, another whaler, also will make Wrangel Island some time this month when ice conditions are most favorable, and will seek the explorer. Stefansson and tive members of his party left Martin Point on the north coast of Alaska on March 22, 1914, on an expedition into the unexplored region north of Alaska. On April 17, when the party was at the point known as Camp Separation, Stefansson sent back his secretary, Bert M.

McConnell, and two other members of the party, Crawford and Johansen. He took with him Storkensen and Anderson, two of the hardiest and most experienced men In the party; six of the best dogs, eight sleds and a load of more than 900 pounds. Stefansson expected to return the way he came, or, if that appeared unfeasible, to go east to- Banks Island. McConnell and the others were sent back to have a boat sent to Banks Island If Stefansson and the others should not return to the north coast of the North American continent. On Stefansson's failure to return to the mainland, two whaling captains were sent to Banks Island, but there was no trace of Stefansson or his party there.

The whalers brought back word that the ice had broken up earlier than usual and that Stefansson, if he sought to reach Banks Island, had been prevented by open water. McCONNELL IS OPTIMISTIC. "I believe that Stefansson's resourcefulness would enable him and hU companions to live on the ice for two and a half or three years, said McConnell at his home in New York today. "The difficulty which he would face in trying to escape from the ice to the mainland or to Wrangel or Banks Ieland lies in the fact that his sleds will carry only food enough to support the party for a short distance. On this account he will have to stay near spots where the hunting is good, unless he eventually finds himself carried by the drift to a point close enough to land to make a dash for it.

"Stefansson had with him rounds of ammunition. He is a dead shot. Oh one of his previous explorations he supported himself and two companions for a year on the game which he killed with sixty-two cartridges. I have never seen him miss his mark with a rifle. "There is plenty of game in the country where he is now seals, polar bears and foxes.

The polar bears live on seal and stay where they are plentiful and the foxes live on the carcasses left behind by the bears, so that all three are found together. It Is not necessary to waste ammunition on foxes, which can be trapped and killed In other ways. Stefansson in ail his. expeditions has lived largely on game. He started on the present trip in search of garqe.

to prevent aeurvy In his party. "If he reaches land in the unexplored region the party may live on the land indefinitely. The four hundred rounds of ammunition are enough. I should say, to keep the party in meat for about two years. they strike a country that contains walruses, they can live a greater time.

After the ammunition Is spent they would not be at the end of their resources. Stefansson has learned from the Blonde Eskimos the art of spearing seal. The steel of the eied-runners, or the gun barrels, could be made Into spears. The party had with them an oil stove In which they could develop heat enough to forge metal. They had matches with them to last for six years.

Their fuel would come chiefly from the blubber In the seals, or polar bears or walruses, "The ice rush on which we left Stefansson and his party is centred about 800 miles from Wrangel Island, north of Siberia, to Banks Island, north of Alaska. The ice drifts with the ocean current toward the Siberian coast, and might eventually bring? Stefansson and his party within striking distance of Wrangel Island. They had with them a canoe which wr.uld enable them to cross the open water, MIGHT USE AEROPLANES. "If they did not reach Wrangel's Islsnd the only practicable plan of rescuing them will be that of sending an expedition of aeroplanes at a total cost of about 8100,000. At the edge of this ice pack, about 800 miles long, the aeroplane would leave the ship and fly about 17S miles In a northwesterly direction.

The aviators could cover a range of about five miles en either side of their course, thus searching a stretch 10 miles wide on their outgoing and Incoming trips each day. "The Canadian Uoyernment, however. Is too much engrossed in the war to consider the plan. The Aero Club of America has approved ths idea as a feasoble one, but ail efforts to raise the JlOO.noo have ailed, and there appears to be no prospect now of starting such a relief expedition, although 1 am firmly convinced that Stefansson is alive and that such an expedition would be certain to locate hlra and his companions."

TURKEY.

Amsterdam, August A land and sea attack on the Turkish, positions on Gallipoil Peninsula is announced in an official communication issued at Constantinople, as received here to day. The Turkish War Office, admits the loss of ground, but asserts that in another engagement the Turks captured trenches from the Allies. The text of the official report of the Turkish War Office, whose date of issue is not given In the Constantinople despatch, follows: "Yesterday evening, on the Dardanelles front In the region of Avi Burnu, our left wing captured some trenches from the by surprise attack and prevented him from bring ing up reinforcements. "In the afternoon tie enemy, after long and violent artillery preparation from land and sea, advanced Jid made a number of attacks against the trenches on our left wing, penetrating a portion of them.

In Dutch official circles, America's reply to the Austrian-Hungarian note protesting against tho export of ammunition from the United States is a walled with intense interest. Holland is Just now making herculean efforts to strengthen its defences against possible aggres sions on the part of any one of the belligerent powers. No doubt is entertained here that this natural, pacific little kingdom will flght to the last gasp before it will permit the violation of Its neutrality by either Germany or England. Cnder a new law Just enacted, it has called to the colors practically every man capable of carrying a rifle, the total of the immediately available force having been raised from 330.000 to DiO.000, The problem of providing; ammunition for- the increased army has becorqe one of critical urgency.

Dutch officials now point out that Holland, as a nation devoted to the pursuits of poace. and very inadequately supplied with metal resources or ammunition factories of its own, is absolutely dependent for munition? upon what it can import from other neutral countries, especially America. The question of obtaining large supplie of steel and other raw materials and manufactures from the United States has been the subject of consideration bv the Government for some time. According to the Dutch contention, 'he adoption by the United States of a regulation forbidding the export of munitions would practically foredoom not only Holland, but every other small neutral power to certain defeat at the hands of any powerful and wcll-pn pared nation that might choose to attack it.

Long months of preparation on the part of the Austrian have enabled them to provide all that is most modern and complete In military science. Extensive constriK-tion, the security of hiding places, natural and artificial, and the Ingenuity of mechanism all combine to make patience the most necessary condition of Italian victory.

CEMENTING EMPIRE TIES Meeting of Overseas Wounded at Club in London (Canadian Associated Press.) London. August 8. Sir Robert Borden yesterday visited the Victoria League Club for overseas soldiers. There were present a number of Canadian soldiers home on furlough- or wounded. Sir Robert, addressing the company, said he was especially interested in clubs of that character because they afforded an opportunity for overseas soldiers who had been fighting In the Dardanelles and Flanders to meet together and thus bring the various dominions In closer touch.

The fact that the dominions were fighting for what wrs not only a great Imperial cause, but a cause which concerned the future of humanity and civilization showed that they were fighting one and the same cause. To know each other during a period of convalesence was surely a circumstance which would be attended by great benefit to the men as well as to the several dominions which they represented.

TEUTONS REALIZE THEY CANNOT WIN British Official Eyewitness Found Germans Even De- pressed in Victory London, August 7 Professor Bernard Pares, who has been the Brltii-h official eye-witness with the Russian armies, and Is now buck In London, summed up yesterday for the Daily Chronicle his impressions of the east ern campaign.

They have fought most humanely In this war. almost too humanely, I ome-times think.

Quite apart from the enthusiasm with whb-h the Slav populations. Poles, Czechs and Ruthenlans, greeted their appearance on Austrian soil, the remarkable fact must be recorded that a very large number of Austrian civilians quite voluntarily accompanied the Russians when the latter were forced to retire. Not only do they treat the wounded German or Austrian prisoners as well as their own people, they oflen actually treat them better. had many personal Illustrations of this and of the manner In which the sulkiness of the German captive was soon worn down by the sheer kindness of his Russian attendants. Their Slav prisoners are treated with the greatest tolerance and often may be seen walking with perfect freedom In the streets.

"On the German side I was told no such amenities redeemed the ruin of war. Their troops were brutal, arrogant and often drunk. German prisoners, unlike Austrian, are sometimes found so hopelessly Intoxicated that they are not sober for twenty-four hours after their capture. On the other hand, I can say with certainty that there Is not one ea.se of drunkenness In the whole Russian army. TJjo drink that Germans often deliberately leave when they evacuate a town Is promptly thrown into the gutters."
