ION the Isonzo front the struggle con-
tinued yesterday with increasing inten-
sity on the boundary formed by the
lower heights of Pevma, Oslavia and the
hill which faced toward Gorilla between
Podgora and Sabotino. The enemy made
determined counter offensive with the
object of recapturing lost positions. His
counter attacks were preceded and ac-
companied by a hurricane of fire from
numerous batteries, but the most violent
was on the heights northwest of Os-
lavia.
Several times the enemy broke our line
and penetrated positions conquered by us,
but always was thrown back after a des-
perate melee. Our brave troops, espe-
cially those of the Fourth division, did
not yield an inch of their positions
which were covered with blood. and sew
eral times they hurled themselves upon
the enemy with the bayonet. inflicting
heavy losses and taking eighty-nine pris-
oners, several of whom were officers.
ION the Carso Plateau our troops. af-
ter repulsing four counter attacks dur
ing the night. resumed the offensive
everywhere at dawn. Fresh progress
was made near the sumit of Monte San
Michele. Towards San MARITIME we took
