statement on military operations:
Yesterday, the seventh day of the
Piave the enemy concentrated his eff
forts almost exclusively on the Monte
Solarolo salient. At II o'clock in the
morning, after several hours of the
most violent fighting, extending from
columns of infantry from the north,
against our positions.
THE former, which advanced from
the southeastern slope of Monte
Spinonei was caught by our artillery
and most effective and concentrated
fire from French batteries. 1t was
forced to stop and give up the attack
before getting in contact with our
line.
'.The latter. consisting of whole
division of German troops, preceded
by assault detachments, made direct
Solarolo and the northern slope at
the head of the Calcino valley. Our
troops put up the most stubborn re-
sistance. and the enemy, after a des-
perate struggle, being badly cut up by
our fire and worn out by our counter
attacks, was obliged to suspend action
tured prisoners and some machine
guns
thrust on the part of enemy infantry
was crushed promptly by our fire. On
the remainder of the front the fighting
activity was very moderate"

Of the $4,000 tons of imported
meat here, a very large share now
goes to the army. In fact, every
pound of meat imported from Austria
liza and New Zealand during the last
two and one-half years has been gov
ernment property, bought before 1t
was shipped and brought to this
country under government control. 1t
is only when all military needs have
been satisfied that any surplus stock
of frozen meat is turned over by the
government to the large wholesale
merchants to be sold on behalf Of the
government at government prices.
South America being still largely
neutral, the requirement Of meat sup
plies grown there is a matter of ne
gotiation, and there is no compulsory
government control. However, meat is
needed in quantities as large as pos
sible, and the government does all IN
its power to encourage the production
and expectation to England of the
larges possible amount of meat.
