Alpini Put Crack
Jaeger Troops to ROut
Rv GORDON GORDON. SMITH.

Milan. June "a via Paris).-For he
first time Italian and Austrian Alpine
troops have crossed bayonets. When
war was declared the Austrian noun
tain troops were fighting in Galicia.
After the victorious advance of the
Italian Alpini, the Austrian War MN
lister ordered q number Of battalions De
sent in all haste TO the Italian from
tier. Among them were the famous
Kaiser Jaeger the elite of Austria's
mountain troops.
Two days ago a company Of Italian
Alpini. commanded by a young Milan
ese officer, found itself face to face
with a company of the Kaiser Jaeger.
The officer Immediately gave orders 20
fix bayonets and charge, telling the
band to strike up the Garibaldi hymn.
The music so electrified the Alpini that
the Austrian position was carried with
a rush and in spite Of the numerical
superiority of the Austrians. All OF
the defenders who were not killed
wounded or made prisoners were driven
down the mountain side in hopeless
confusion. Since the war started the
Alpini have covered themselves with
glory, attacking night and day, and
capturing apparently impregnable posi-
tons at the point Of the bayonet.

The text of the communication fol-
lows: "Our offensive movement dur
ing the last two weeks Of May had
been gradual, the lire moving forward
in small sections. But on June the
whole line was ordered TO attack. The
idea was to keep the enemy occupied
at all points simultaneously. thus pre-
venting him from bringing up reserves
at any one point and at the same time
giving our men further opportunities
TO organize the positions already capt
ured by them.
at about II O'CLOCK in the morning
the bombardment of the enemy posi-
lions was begun. Owing 10 long
period Of dry weather, huge clouds OF
dust were thrown up by the shells and
were blown back to our lines by a
north wind, a condition which made
our firing difficult The enemy made
only an occasional reply to the hail Of

planes reported that all OF the enemy's
batteries had been silenccd. Our in

the trenches and from the cliffs which
dominate the Gulf of Saros in the di-
rection of the deep ravine at Kereves

"Thc principal attack was made upon
the Turkish position located opposite
the British trenches. British soldiers
charged the enemy's trenches and
found that a majority of the Turkish
defenders has been killed by the
melinitc shells. Without stopping at
their first success. our allies charged
again and were successful in occupying
the second line Of trenches. At this
point they were given support, which
permitted them TO turn about and at
tack and capture Turkish redoubt
which still held out. They took also
further positions situated on the right
and the left of the first line Of trench
es, and gained approximately oOo
yards Of ground.
"The French charged simultaneously
with the British against the Turkish
positions situated in front of kereves
Dere. The first line soon was taken,
as was also a Turkish fortress, when,
with the bitches surrounding II, was
heavily fortified by barbed wire en-

sued tonight at the headquarters of
the General staff of the Italian army
was ms follows:
"Along the entire front there has
been an artillery duel between piece:
of heavy and medium calibre. The
enemy endeavored last night to attack
particularly Montepiano, Val Grande,
Val Piccolo, Cresmaverze (situated be
tween Pizzocollna and ZeillenkofeD
and Crestaverde, which had been occu-
pied by our troops yesterday.
"The night of June 2l-22 and the fol-
lowing day the enemy made three des-
perate attacks against our position at
Freikofel. All these attacks were re-
pulsed successfully by the splendid fire
Of our artillery and the use Of hand
grenades. The enemy left two hundred
bodies on the battlefield.

are being made by the Austrians for
the installation Of heavy artillery, and
along the neighboring heights conveys
