thousand Austrian soldiers were kill

four days of General Cadorna's new
sweep on Trieste No engagements
on the Austrian and Italian front
since the beginning of the war have
been marked by such fierce fighting.
Battling in the Carso mountain
lands the Italians and the Austrians
met in hand to hand struggles that
continued at some places all night. A
specially furious combat preceded the
capture OF yeliki hil, by the Italians.
The summit was crowned with heavy
Austrian artillery which threw a
semi-circle of fire against the base
and prevented the Italians from ad-
vancing in frontal attacks. Several
small Italian detachments. under
cover OF darkness. reached the slopes
on one side of the village just out
side the fire zone, but not waiting
for reinforcements scaled the sides
and defied the enemy. After brief
|encounter in which bayonets and dag
gers were used the Italians succeed
led in capturing the enemy's battery
The victors signaled their success fo
their waiting comrades below, and
then turned the captured guns on the
Austrian defenses east OF the city.
In the fighting southeast of Corita
italian infantry charged over a wide
area that had been flooded by the
Vertoribilla river At some places
they advanced for the attack in wa
