AUSTRIAN LOSSES. BATCHES OF OFFICERS. LONDON September 10. Mr. McClure the “Times’’ correspondent describing the fighting round Gorizin says that the enemy losses are appalling. The capture of 122 officers cluring the past two days reveals the extent of the Italian successes. Under the Austrian system the majority of tho officers do not participate in the lighting, but remain in caverns and funkliolos at the rear, where they are now being dug out in batches. After the line was broken in the Carso fighting the Austrian were repeatedly broken, suffering the bloodiest losses. The trenches were filled with long swathes of dead.
