UDINE, Italy, Sept.3.\u2014Notwith-j standing bad weather conditions, fighting still continues all along the Italian-Austrian line, and consists for the most part in isolated hand-to-hand encounters between small de-1 tachm-ents of Italian and Austrian! soldiers, the latter imprisoned by ar-j tiller y fire in galleries, the mouths of which have been closed by shell | fire.Austrian defenders remain in ! these galleries several days without food or munitions.The attacking forces are straightening out the new line by cutting out salients ütill held by small groups of Austrians, who are unable either to advance or retreat, and are obliged to surrender.Counter-offensives by the Austrians, in which they are supported by reinforcements, are being continually repulsed, and outlying portions of lost positions remain in Italian hands.The prisoners takeir during the last four or five days are, for the most part, fresh troops in excellent physical condition and well equipped, showing the immense effort the enemy is making to save the situation.Notwithstanding that the Italians had not lost a yard of the ground gained, serious attacks on a comparatively large scale north of Mount San Gabriele and east of Gorizia have been repulsed with heavy losses to the enemy, show that the Agstrians appreciate the importance of this position, which gives access to the whole plain of Gorizia.At 7 o\u2019clock this morning the click of a telegraph instrument in the office of the Sherbrooke Record and of leading papers throughout Canada marked the inauguration of the longest news service leased wire in the world.Furthermore it marked a development in the telegraph service of the Record, which places this paper absolutely on a par with the metropolitan papers of Canada in the matter of telegraphic news.These statements require some explanation.The Canadian Press Ltd., the organization of Canadian publishers of which the Record is a member, which corresponds in Canada to the Associated Press in the United States and which receives the Associated Press service for distribution in this country, has been planning for some time the important advance in the telegraphic news service of leading Canadian papers which goes into effect today.The Dominion Government has co-operated with the Canadian Press in this respect and has made a grant to help bridge the unproductive gaps between Ottawa and Winnipeg and between Sherbrooke and the Maritime Provinces.This and the as- suming of larger expense by individual papers has made it possible to lease from the C.P.R.a wire extending from Halifax to Vancouver, together with a wire connecting with the Associated Press in New York and adequate arrangements for cable service, including full access to Reuter\u2019s service, the great news gathering organization overseas as supplementary to that of the Associated Press.Fortunately for the readers of the Record, Sherbrooke is located on this transcontinental leased wire of the Canadian Press so that, while many papers not so fortunately located must content themselves with what is termed a 4\u2018pony\u201d service, the Record is able to get on the direct wire with access to the full service.Last week the wire connections were made with the Record building and telegraph instrument installed.This morning the operator took his placé at the key and the news gathered from the four corners of the globe thus comes direct to the editorial desk in the Record office.The Record\u2019s telegraphic service for the year past has been pretty complete, being that carried by the Eastern wire and the same as received by the St.John and Halifax papers.The new leased wire service will be about double this in volume and in many respects more comprehensive, because of the additional facilities which the Canadian Press will have for gathering Canadian and world news.Record readers will feel assured that in their home paper they will not miss any of the important telegraphic or cable news of the day for the Record now receives its service off the same wire as that which enters the office of the metropolitan newspapers and at the same time.In addition, in the Record they receive the Eastern Townships news which comes to them in no other paper.The publishers confidently expect that this enlarged telegraphic news service, undertaken at greatly increased expense, will make the Record absolutely indispensable in every English reading home in the Eastern Townships\u2014the one paper that no Eastern Townships family can gel along without.RAID ON EAST KENT COAST RUSSIA HAD NO MUNITIONS AND NO RIFLES Former President of Duma Tells of Lack of Preparations at Trial of ex'War Minister.E.T.HEN ON CASUALTY LIST Pte.Walter E.Smith,
