ITALIANS CUT THRU
AUSTRIA Line ON
WAY TO CARNZ0LA

Somewhat slowly. but nevertheless
surely, the Italians are breaking
down the resistance of the Austrians
in the region around Monte Santo,
north of Goriza, and making their
way eastward toward the border of
Upper Carniola. u
In their endeavor to hold back the
Italians, the Austrians have brought
to this sector numbers of fresh men,
and at last reports the fighting was
most intense, but with the Italians
having overcome the resistance of
the Austrians at various points.
Virtually nothing is being vouch-
safed in the Italian official commu-
nications which even approximately
records the advance General Ca
drona's men have made since they
began their offensive from the re-
gian of Tolmino to the sea, the Ital-
ian war Office probably desiring to
conceal from the enemy the exact
detectives it has in view. The latest
for instance, leaves
entirely alone the situation on the
Carso front, where previous reports
had announced progress for the
Italians toward Triest.
