Dispatches from Rome state hat the Ito
lians are now SIX miles beyond Monfalcoue
and only nine miles from Trieste, their OBJ
j~ective. The Austrians' retirement has ended
and the Italian advance is now being tardily
but obstinately contested La three weeks
the Austrians have abandoned their positions
in the prentino to the Italians in the north,
then in the CarnicAlps the pass Of Valentino
has been captured, and Malborgath may fall
at any moment. On the Isonzo the position
of the Italians could not possibly be better.
The Austrians are shut up IN Tolmino aud
Goritz, being outfanked and nearly sur
rounded. Along the coast watchers at Tri-
este on Monday could see the troops arrive

A Russian official communicate mentions
the locality merely where the Germans on
Monday claimed a victory. The paragraph
declares that the Austro-Germans. after
heavy losses in the region of Mosciska on
Friday and Saturday have not resumed the
offensive. According to Petrogrud the Aus
tro-Germans made another crossing Of the
Dniester, where a brilliant cavalry charge ut
Zaleszczyky resulted in a local Russian sue
cess, but no claim is made that the invaders
were pushed back across the river. The
crossing is not considered serious for the Rus
slams, because it is remote frcm Lr,1beig
and an advance from it would expose the
Austro-G German flank.
A Paris official summary of the operations
in the Dardauelles says: "Durlng the latter
bait OF May there was heavy fighting and
to-day our progress is somewhat slower
than in the beginning, but every inch Of
ground gained has been organized so as
to permit The r~epclling Of couuter-attucks,
and each advance has been held. The ply
steal aspect OF the country made fighting
extremely difficult and dangerous, as the
battle front presents the form of Il triangle"
