Fierce Fighting.

There was fierce and obstinate
fighting for the much contested pla-
teau. Our positions here and the
terrain behiud them were under the
enemy's drum fire OF guns of all cali
bers at dawn. Toward noon the first
enemy infantry attacks started at
Castagnievizza and We're repulsed. A
powerful Italian attack against the en-
tire front on the Carso plateau began
in the afternoon
Between Fajti and the sea the
enemy sent succeeding waves against
our line. Whenever one wave col
lapsed another followed. Thus the
struggle continues undminished in
violence. TIE enemy has only gained
ground protecting Jamiano. where we
had withdrawn our troops one kilo-
meter. Otherwise we maintained our
positions VIGOROUSLY to the full ex-
tent everyNh here"

Immediately prior 70 the outbreak OF
the war, has been emphatically rec
ognized by the holy see
Alsacc-L Lorraine Restoration.
The attitude OF the holy see with
regard 10 the provinces of Alsace
and Lorraine, which were wrested
not as definite. as the apostolic letter
OF his holiness in discreet silence
passes over the imperative necessity
of restoring these provinces 10 their
mOther-cOuntry, France
Painful and unexpected. however,
is the attitude assumed by the holy
see with regard TO the rights OF the
Polish nation 10 liberty and indie
pendence. His holiness speaks Of the
Polish question i'm the following
words:
THE same spirit of equity and
justice ought TO be followed in the
political questions relative
to territories making a part of the
ancient kingdom of Poland whose
noble and historical traditions and
sunerinss which il has endured, es
pecially during the present war.
ought TO conciliate the sympathies
of nations"
No Freedom for Poles.
Thus i'm the opinion of the holy
see. Poland is not "a nation which is
fully entitled to the independent po-
litical life. His holiness does not de
mand that the Germans evacuate the
territory of the former common
wealth of Poland. which Is almost
i'm its entirety occupied by the
armies of Germany and Austria
Hungary The holy see does not
recognize the sovereign rights Of the
Polish nation 10 its own territory.
but merely speaks of sympathies of
nations which Poland ought TO con-
ciiate because of the sufferings she
has endured. According TO the terms
of the apostolic letter Poland is bur
"a territorial and political question
which should be examined" not in
its entirety but only in part" The
fate of the rest Of the parts OF
Poland which his holiness excludes
from the examination remains UNI
known Which Of the partitioning
powers is therefore To have posses
sion of the excluded parts of Po-
land
I'm the opinion of the holy see the
Poles are not even entitled to de
eide about their own fate. The apos-
tolic letter expressly defines the
imposition OF the body. which is TO
examine the territorial questions. Tn
the paragraph relating TO this sub
ject we read as follows
