The following official statement of the
operations Of the Italian military
forces was issued tonight by General
Cadorna. chief OF the general staff:
"The advance of our troops beyond
the Tyrol Trentino frontier continues
and we have occupied the important
height Of Zugna. about four mile north
Of Ala. which dominates Rovereto. On
this height the AusJrians some time
ago ordered a fortress built.
Our vigorous artillery action on
the plateau being followed up, the FIRE
Of the Austrian Fort Belvedere dimin-
ished in intensity and our infantry is
solidly established on the field.
"Our front advancing in Valsugana
has arrived within five miles of Borgo
and is supported strongly on two
slopes of the valley. The mountain Of
Belvedere. which dominates Fiera di
Primieri in the CismOn valley is also
in our hands.
"A battalion and a half of Austrians
with machine guns attacked OuI Al

on the Carnia frontier May 80 The
Alpine troops repulsed five spirited at
tacks delivered one after the other,
after which they took the offensive in
a violent rain and thick fog. putting
their assailants to tight Our losses
were light
The rain continues on the FriuH
frontier and the water courses are
swollen but our troops advance in
serene confidence to ov- -rcome their
difficulty"
The troops which occupied these
towns constitute the Italian army
which is invading the province Of
Trent from the east, simultaneously
with the invasions from the south and
west. The town of Cortina, occupa-
ton OF which by the Italians was an
nounced yesterday, lies 50 nffTes north

VIOLENT BATTLE
NORTH OF ARRAS
French and Germans Engage in Hand
to Hand Struggle, Former Claim
ing the Advantage.

Paris. June French official re
port. Violent fighting took place
last night north of Arras. East of the
road from AK Roulette to Souchez we
made our way into a grove, where
there developed a hand TO hand fight
in which we had the advantage. East
OF NOtre Dame de Lorette We took
possession of a German work In a
violent fight around the sugar mill at
Scuchez we took about sixty prison
ers. In the VOsges. near Fontenelle,
the night of May 3O-31, a German at
tack by two companies was repuIsed
by US with heavy losses for the en-
emy."
Paris, June French official report
on operations in the Dardanelles:
The fighting has resolved itself for
several days into engagements over
a limited area. These have taken
place almost daily and all have ended
with gains for the allied troops.
"On the western slope of the ravine
of Kereves Dere volunteers belonging
to a colonial regiment captured on
Friday evening a small fort which the
enemy had built at the left end of mis-
line and which dominated our trench
es Our men went forward with such
speed that the defenders of this fort,
taken by surprise, fed without re
sistance. Two counter attacks made
by Turks in large numbers 10 recap
ture the fort were repulsed by US and
the enemy suffered heavy losses. The
British troops also won brilliant sue
cess in repulsing a violent attack near
Gaba Tepe"
