great triple offensive were reported
in official dispatches from the war Of
flee this afternoon. On every front the
allied capitals announced gains in the
last twenty-four hours.
Pushing rapidly eastward on the
Isonzo front, the Italians have occu-
pied the Austrian position of Boschini
and have captured more ground from
the retreating garrison from Goritz.
The Austrian aviation station OF
Aisovizza, six miles east OF Goritz, Is
unofficially reported to be in Italian
hands.
Russian troops have captured the
railway station Of Chryplin, only
three miles east of the important city
Of Stanislau and the right bank OF
the Bistriza river. At the same time.
Petrograd reports the Slavs have re.
sumed their advance in the extreme
southeast, where they have been held
up by reinforced Austro-Germans.
On the Somme front, both the Brit
ish and French war Offices announced
slight gains. These statements, how
ever, were contradicted by the Ger
man war office which claimed the re-
pulse of allied attacks on the Somme
front.
