the Italian lines. The Italian guns
now also are within range OF Fort
Panarotta. one OF the principal strong
holds barring access 10 the old town OF
Trent
The advance along the precipitous
mountain slopes on both sides OF the
Brenta was resumed 10 days ago when
the Austrians opened up a furious fire
from Fort Panarotta on the Italian
troops as soon as the latter had occu-
pied the positions on Monte Coma
CimOnrava and Monte Civiarano- but
the Italians have continued TO advance
and have moved several kilOmeters
down the valley OF Sugana.
Two other forts defending the high
ridgt OF Lavarone on the SUBMITS OF
Russa Nerle and Spitzverle are now
also under FIRE OF the Italian batteries
Fierce artillery actions are raging in

PETROGRAD, Aug IS - The
Brest Litovsk, garrison Of 100000
men escaped from that fortress be-
fore il was abandoned 10 the Austr0-
Germans and has joined the Russian
held forces, the war Office announced
today. Before Brest Litovsk was
evacuated the Russians DESTROYED the

valuable property that was portable
was removed.
The following statement on the fall
Of BTest LitOYsk was issued by the
war office today.
Berlin statements that the fall cf
Brest LitOvsk fell after an assault by
German and Austro- Hungarian troops
are inexact.
1T was decided some time pre-
viously that TO shut up the garrison
in this place was inexpcdient Con-
sequently the most valuable material
was removed in good time and the
forts on the left bank of the Bug
resisted only in order to allow the
armies operating in this region 10

When the movement was affected
the fOrtificatiOns and bridges were
destroyed and the garrisons ia the
forts reioined the army in tie field.
