7 ONDON, May l8.-Have the
IL Italians suffered a serious re.
verse on the Isonzo river front
This is the question military OBJ
servers stationed here are asking
themselves today. Vienna de-
clares that they have. Rome
says that they have not, and that
the assaults by the Austrians have
been repulsed with heavy losses.
Upon the whole it appears that
Austrian commanders have caught
the Italians mapping, and by a
sudden and energetic offensive
have succeeded in regaining some
OF the ground lost to Victor EN-
manuels army at-the outbreak of
the war with Italy, a year ago.
Italians Lose Ground
The Italians have certainly lost
ground and Inensthe latter both in
killed, wounded and prisoners. OF
these last the Vienna reports claim
that the Austrians have taken be-
tween five and six thousand.
The Roman loss in material is
also said to have been large. They
have been forced to abandon a
number OF their heavy cannon,
put in place last fall and winter
with so much labor, and at the
cost of many lives. Large guam
titles of munitions of war stored
at positions also were taken by
the 'Austrians in the drive. - 2.
Offensive Extensive
The Teutonic offensive, begin
ming, according to the announce
ments from Berlin and Vienna,
with a tremendous artillery pre-
paration has now been extended
from the hines east of the Tornale
Pass in the Alps, as far south as
Montalcone. Near Tysol the Aus
tran Infantry, by surprise attack
drove the Italians out of their hill
side positions. w.
At Zegnatorta, according to
Vienna, the fighting was desper-
ate and successful. Rome admits
the character of the battle, but de-
scribes it as a Roman success.
The italian official statement saws
that the Teutons attacked five
times, with clouds of infantry
men, after the German method,
and each time were compelled to
tan back under the FIRE of the Ro-
man guns, leaving a great num-
Der OF their men behind them.
Inc account winds up by saying
THAT many dead Austrians were
observed to be floating down the
Cadige FLYER to the sea"
italians Hold Firm
The Anstrians practically adj
rrit that they have failed to move
the Italians at Sugana, where a
half dozen hot attacks were made
and .repulsed. The artillery in
that sector continues with great
violence.
On the rest Of the Austro-Ita-
Ian line the Italian aviators have
been busy, and are said to have
succeeded in bringing down a
number OF the Teutonic machines.

The fighting around Nerdun

some lively handgrenade assaults,
productive of little. The French
positions on lie Mort Homme
were the objective of these at
tacks, which were repulsed with
ease. The artillery was still busy
on this front. Berlin announced
that a French attack launched
from the slopes of Hill 304 failed,
the German curtain of fire pre-
venting the attackers from gain

forts were blanketed by the ma
chine gun fire, which drove back
