In the Faiti region we took $50 Italians from enemy posi-, tions Near Jamiano the fighting be- came more active. Near Arco, in the southern Tyro1; an Italian hydroplane was shot down.
 tTt is evident from careful esti- mate that the Italian losses in the tenth Isonzo battle surpass all the previous sacrifices of the enemy In the course of the 19 days of the bat tie at least 35 Italian divisions were engaged in the first line, so that along a front of 40 kilometres half of the Italian army attacked. The enemy's losses in killed or wounded positively surpasss 160,O00 men. Moreover, we took 16,000 prisoners, making the to- tai Italian losses 1sO,0OO men. For his part, the enemy occupied Mount iano, which gains hardly justified the cry of victory on the second anniver- sary of the entry by Italy to the wal" /"
