Italian Army Headquarters, Mon
day, July 1.-The local actions re-

Falbella, Col del Rosso and Col di
Chelo had for their objects the wild
ening of the Italian front west of
the Brenta and the driving of the
enemy from the positions he cap
tured last Christmas, lost to the
Italians in January and regained on
June 15.
The Italian losses were slight
compared to those sustained by the
Austrians. This was due almost en-
tirely to the violence and accuracy
of the Italian and allied artillery
fire.
Under cover of this fire the infan-
try was able to take the enemy posi-
tions without much oppositions and
to dig in at once. The Austrian ar
tillery fire has been severe, some
shells reaching the plains behind the
lines and destroying houses centu-
ries old. Trees $50 years old on
Monte Melago have been torn up.

Enemy Probably Waiting
on New Guns Before
Moving in Offensive
By Associated Press

British Headquarters in France,
July ., Via Ottawa-The puZzling si-
lence of the enemy is continuing
along the entire front. The most
general conjecture as to the reason
for his prolonged pause is that he
is awaiting the arrival of guns of a
new type. intermediate between the
extreme long-range guns with which
he has been shelling Paris and his
long range naval guns.
With guns of this type, the as
sumption is the Germans would be
capable of throwing large number
of heavy shells into Paris from dis
tance of forty or fifty miles. A
bonn bardment from this distance in
instead of the seventy or more miles
covered by the guns heretofore used
in the long range bombardment of
Paris has been made possible by the
advance of the enemy lines effected
within the last month.
