ITALIAN THRUST GAINS l5 MILES
 IN THREE DAYS
Austrians Being Steadily Forced Back in the Alvania
 Theater.
CAVALRY CUTS OFF
 RETREAT OF ENEMY
Destroys Bridges in Rear of Teuton Forces on Semini River-French Smash Huns in West
 and Gain
Associated Press Summary

Tho waiting for the German high command to show its hand in begin- ming new assault the allied forces on the western front are giving the enemy little opportunity to perfect his arrangements for launching the attack.
 From the Lys sector on the north to the Champaigne front in eastern France there have been sudden thrusts at the German lines. at least one of which has made considerable ground. This blow was struck by the French west of the Disc and north of the Metz river. on the battle field where the Germans were stopped short in their attempt to hew their way to thru COmpeigne early in June.
 Take Important Points
 The French advanced along the Compeigne road northwest of An theuil and occupied the Loge and Porte farms on each eide of the high way. The ground they have taken is is important from a defensive stand point and cuts down the area in which the Germans must maneuver in this part of the battle area
 There seems to have been some spirited fighting on the British front along IAaBasse canal northwest of Lens and north of the Somme in the Picardy sector.
 Berlin announces that the British were repulsed in frequently repeated attacks in the former region and adds that their attacks north of the oSm- me broke down. The French attack at Antheul is merely mentioned in the official German statement which says, however, that attacks in the Villers- -Cotterets and Chateau Thierry secors were repulsed by the Germans.
 Italians Advance 15 Miles
 Rapid strides have been made in the Alvania theater since the French and Italians were launched north of Avelona July 6. Strong Austrian posi- tions have been stormed and 1t ap- pears that the allies have been sue cessful in turning the Austrians' right wing.
 An official statement from Rome says Italian cavalry have gained the Austrian rear and destroyed bridges across the Semini river which paral- les the Voyusa where the attack was begun This marks an advance of about 15 miles.
