ROME. Aug. 16.-An official
statement OF operations on the
Italian front issued by the war
office today Is as follows:
An enemy party which attacked
our position at the head OF the
Padola valley was repulsed after
a heavy hand-to-hand struggle.
Yesterday one of our largest
bombRrdment flights, strongly
escorted, reached the important
railway center at Assling in the
Sava valley with the object OF
damaging 1t and interrupting the
intense traffic OF the enemy
there.
The second flight, as powerful
as the first, was repeated in the
afternoon. the operation having
as an objective the steel works
in the same locality. The results
were very satisfactory. Explo-
sIve bombs of medium and large
size and also ihcendiary bombs
were dropped, six and a half tons
in all. and direct hits were OBJ
tained on some works. while
other buildings, including the
railway station. were set anre.
All our airplanes returned after
this daring operation. which was
most difficult on account OF the
distance to the center Of bonn
bardment.
