FRENCH Strike HARD
BLOW IN ITALY
Both Berlin and Vienna OF.
fetal Reports Admit

The AustroG erman lines on the
Italian mountain front felt the shock
yesterday of French infantry blow
and were shaken II not broken by the
impact.
The French stroke was delivered on
the easterly end of the mountain line
rear its junction with the Pia7e, the
assault being directed at Monte Tomba.
The official bulletin from Rome de-
clares that the French captured enemy
positions between Osteriade.denonser
and Maranding with about 1,400 men,
GO machine guns and seven cannon.
The Austrian official statement
makes the French victory appear ever
more significant than does that OF
Berlin as 1t announces the prepare.
tion of counter measures against the
French.
& Beth French and British troops have
for some time been aiding the Italians
in holding their present front. Their
activity hrsing been almost entirely
of the def,s sive order however. Yes.
terday's attacks was the first often.
sive move by the French on this front
so far as the Official statement has
shown.
