WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE
July (delayed) The operation In
which the Australians were the chief
actors, resulting in the capture OF
Hamel and of the Vaire and Hamel
woods. in the sector east Of Amlens,
was as completely successfully as an
operation could be. At II o'clock last
night tho enemy made three feeble
counter attacks In an attempt to re-
cover the ground lost. but In no case
did they reach our positions.
The Germans did attempt to estab-
lish themselves in advanced positions
which the Australians considered toe
near our line. so. after beating back
the counter attacks, they went out and
cleaned out these advanced positions,

Italian front follows:
ITALIAN-On the Lower Piave our

Renewed violent attacks on our po-
sitions on Por,a di Salton and at.
tempts to assault our patrols on
Monte Corone failed.
Our aviators were very active IN

yond the Lower Pave. Two enemy
airplanes were brought down.

used. Hostile airplanes, which made
frequent flights, dropped bombs on some

consisted of shells OF small caliber. A
decrease was also noted in the enemys
airnlane activity. which was concern

along our lines singly and in usual patrol
