DEATH IN THE STORM. AUSTRIAN AIRSHIP WRECKED ON THE MOUNTAIN. United Peers Association. (Received 8.50 a.m.) Geneva, June 14. An Austrian airship returning from Trent after reconnoitring the frontier, was caught in a storm, and dashed on the mountain ways and was wrecked. FROM ROCK TO ROCK. DESPERATE MOUNTAIN WORK. BRILLIANT ITALIAN OFFENSIVE. (Received 8.50 a.m.) Rome, June 14. A communique states: Attempts to arrest our offensive between Tonale and Carnia were repulsed, and fruitless attacks against Preskotel were particularly desperate. Our offensive at Carnia is being continued rapidly and brilliantly. Besides the Voliar Pass, we occupied Varlintina Pass. Operations are difficult, as we are obliged to dislodge the enemy from every trench and follow him from rock to rock, hut the action of the Alpini is decisive. Our heavy artillery opened fire against the fortress of Malborghetto and the high part of the fort was set afire, causing an explosion of ammunition and stores. THE INVESTMENT OF CORIZIA AT HAND. (Received 8.50 a.m.) Paris, June 14. The Echo de Paris states that with the capture of Plava the investment of Gorizia is almost complete.
