London. May 17.-From Tolmino TO
the Adriatic Sea, General Cadorna's
troops met massed Austrian counter at
tacks to-day and continued to make pro-
gress up various heights of the difficult
terrain on the east bank Of the lsonzo
River. north of Gorilla. The number
Of prisoners taken has increased TO
4.02l and five more small calibre guns
have been captured. Vienna admits
some of the Italian gains reported
yesterday, but declares that more than
1000 prisoners have been taken IN
counter attacks.
4 dispatch to LA Liberte" in Paris
says that the Italians have stormed
the town of Duino. which would IN
dicate that their offensive is being
pressed over a much wider front than
its first phases included. Dunno IS a
famous watering place on the Gulf OF
Trieste, only twelve miles northwest OF
Trieste, Austria's principal seaport and
navalbase. Official Rome is silent as
20 the capture of Dunno. but It is said
that its occupation by Italians Will
soon be announced.
The Italian drive may. to an extent,
be considered as part Of the general
Allied offensive. including the opera
tons on the West front and in the
Balkans. But Cadorna has special OBJ
iects in view. one of which is the
capture of Trieste. The Italians last
August stormed Gorilla and swept
eastward over part of the Carso pla-
teau. but they were confined by
tenacious hold of the Austrians on the
heights north and east of Gorilla. This
hold they are now trying to break so
that they can thrust southeast on the
Carso. turn Trieste from the rear and
menace the Austrian plains beyond.

London. May 1s.-The official statement
issued BY the austrian War Office last night
reads:
After a comparatively calm night in the
Isonzo sector. fighting broke out again
Wednesday most violently. The main attack
of the Italian masses. who were continuously
reinforced, was directed against a chain of
heights east Of the Plava-Salcano Valley and
our lines before the gates OF Gorilla. The
fighting proceeded day and night with great
fierceness. the attacking and defending forces
changing roles from hour to hour. Fresh
reserves brought up again and again by the
repused enemy TO new attacks suffered great
losses.
Fulther south, in the sector OF Monte
Hangabrilo. after repeated unsuccessful at
tacks on our positions, the enemy ceased his
assaults in the afternoon.
Equally successful for us was the fighting
on the road east Of Gorilla. where there was
a struggle throughout the day for posses
sion OF our first lines. BY evening all our
trenches except some small nests were thor
oughly cleared Of the enemy. Especial praise
is due the Vienna Landsturm who in a SUI
cessful counter attack captured 400 prisoners.
Elsewhere there was strong artillery action.
