A despatch from London says: From Plava, on-the Isonzo, to the Adriatic Sea, the Italians and Aus- trians are fighting bitterly, and the troops of General Cadorna are making steady progress, especially on the southern end of the 21-mile front. North and south of Jamiano, eight *°§ miles south of Gorizia, the Italians have driven the Austrians back and taken additional important positions. The gains here are a direct menace to the defences of Trieste. The fighting is made harder because of the barren, hilly country. Despite the difficulties of terrain and the stubbornness of the enemy resistance, however, Cadorna's men have taken two strongly fortified hills north of Jamiano and reachedthe #10 outskirts of Versio. The Austrians have attempted tol}. check the Italians' advance on the Southern' Carso by making violent counter-attacks south and east of Gorizia and along the Vodice sector. At all points of attack the Austrians were driven back with heavy losses, and east of Hill 652, on the Vodice, | yw the Italians captured the. position | from which the Austrians emerged to nN the attack. The number of 'prisoners taken by General Cadorna's command since Wednesday morning has increas- | © ed to 10,245, including more than 300 | officers. seems HEAVY LOSSES SUFFERED BY FOE ; Attack * French h Salient to of North of the Ladies' Walk A despatch from Paris says: -- inception as inspired by Germany.
