 Austrian arrnistice. the Italians have been counting up their captures in the great battle which opened on October A. and the total of 300,000 prisoners and 5000 guns is officially given.
 This is perhaps the largest capture of prisoners ever reported in a sus- tained battle in the worlds history, nearly three times as many as the number of Trench soldiers taken by the Prussians at Sedan, and greater than any of the big captures on the Russian front in the early days of the present war.
 An interesting comparison. with the fruits of this ten days battle is the fact that between July 15 and the end of September this year tho total of prisoners taken by the allies on the west front, Palestine, Macedonia, and Siberia, was 367,512 Of these 254, ,G12 were taken by the British. French, and Americans in France and Flanders Up to the end of October the allies took 362, 1855 Lrisoners in Inc west It is announced officially that the 18th British Division on the Italian front duing AS hours took over 20, 900 ] prisoners, including four corps or di- visional commanders, and several hun dred guns.-London Chronicle
