are built of masonry or concrete. These
trenches are guarded by many mines
and batteries.
The communication which declares
repeated Austrian attacks in Carnia
We're repulsed. was as follows:
''On the Tyrol- ol-Trentino-Cadore front
we gradually are occupying dominat-
ing points. Except for distant artillery
fire and new but unsuccessful attacks
on June l3 against the summit OF Vel

shown In this region any particular
sign OF activity.
More intense attacks have been
made repeatedly by the enemy in Car

especially against the rear line OF Mont

"A very active night surveillance is

An examination OF some OF our

using explosive projectiles. An in
