"A battle is proceeding on the
Julian Alps front. Yesterday morn -
hag, after a bombardment of 24
htturs, during vbiett our allele**
shelled the enemy positions with
ver -increasing Intensity, masses of
our infantry commenced the advance
toward their objectives. To the north
of Anhavo (7% miles north of
Gorizia), after baving
overecene technical difileulties and
the resistance of the enemy, numer-
ous. pontoons were thrown across the
Isonzo., and our troops passed over
to the left bank of the river.
“Prom Piave. to the sea, after
having erossed the first line of the
enemee which had been destroyed
completely, our -troops brought pres-
sure to bear upon him. Resisting
strongly and being supported by con-
siderable artillery and a large num-
ber of machine guns, the enemy of-
fered desperate resistance.
"Altogether 208 aeroplanes inde-
fatigably participated in the battle„
attacking repeatedly with bombs and
medallic guns the troops assembled
to the rear of the enemy's positions.
The infantry action vigorously con-
tinues while the artillery also is pro-
ceeding energetic.ally with its work
of destruction.
-The enemy's losses are very seri-
ous. The booty reported up to the
preeent is very considerable. Some
guns and a large number of machine
guns are in. our hands. 13p to last
evening more than 7,500 men and
about 100 officers passed into our
collecting, stations."
"Italy's great offensine had spread
violent fighting over nearly a hun-
dread miles of front the Julian,
Carso ,and Isonzo fronts late Mon-
day. The Italian drive, beginning
Sunday night, was reported as ex-
tending everywhei with splendid
progress and great captures of Aus-
trians, British and French gunners
are ce-operatiug erdth General Ca -
dome's troops. Every inch of Aus-
trian defences, from the Julian Alps
to the sea, is under the noUnding
fire of, the All:e0 41rtillery."

da-wn Thursday there was not the
elightest delay in getting the numer-
ous bridges over.
The Freneh air service played an
portaat part in the advance, going
ahead of the infantry all along tbe,
line and keeping up the contact of
the patrols at thee height of 200 and
300 metres. The German airmen
who ventured in the direction of the
French were driven back, and the
air was cleared of enemy machines,
In addition to patrol work the
rench airmen did good execution
with rnachine guns and bombs on
enemy redoubts.
North of the Aisne several Ger-
man attacks, especially east of the
proidmont Farm, -were repulsed. In
the Champagne artillery fire pre-
vented an attack which the enemy
was preparing in the sector of Mas-
siges. At the eastern end of the line
be Alsace a German attack near
Steinbach was beaten back.
After violently boraba.rding the
French positions, German troops Last
night made consecutive attacks on
the French trenches in the Priest
