General Cardona's army is still
hard after the Austrians all along
the Isonzo and Carso fronts Of the
Austro-Italian theater, and, aided by
the valiant Italian airmen, who are
dropping bombs in great numbers
on concentrations behind the enemy
lines, it has made further progress
and taken additional prisoners and
war stores.
Already in the offensive, not yet
week old, 500 Austrians officers
and 10000 men have been sent be-
hind the Italian lines prisoners Of
war and in the neighborhood of six
ty guns of various calibers have
been captured, in addition to nu-
merous others destroyed by the in
tensive gunfire of the Italians. On
several sectors to the west the
enemy has made semblances of Of
fensives, probably to distract the at
tention Of the Italian commander
in-chief from the work he now has
in hand. But seemingly, there Il
little likelihood that for the moment
q. least, with his army working
and the Austrians unable
to withstand the pressure, he is to
be diverted from pressing on toward
his objective-Triest.
