ITALIANS SMASH AUSTRIAN UNES . MORE THAN 9J0OO PRISONERS TAKEN Many Important Heights and Several Villages Taken to Mark 2nd Anniversary of Italy's Entry Into the War. A despatch from London says: On a front of n<'arly ten miles on the Car- 80 plateau the Italian troops have smashed the Austrian line hard, and taken various positions from the town of Castapna Vizza to (he head of the Gulf of Trieste. In their renewal (rf their offensive the Italians received valuable aid from some of the nine British batteries which have hauled their big puns down to the Isonzo front to help in the efforts aimed at the conquest of Trieste, Austria's big seaport on the Adriatic. Not alone were the Italians success- ful in capturinp numerous points of vantage, but more than 9,000 Aus- trian prisoners, including . officers in excess of .?00, were taken. The Aus- trians arc declared to have been taken completely by surprise by the sudden onslaught of the Italians, who to di- vert attention from the southern end of the Isonzo line had struck a hard blow to the north. When, however, the Austrians recovered from their surprise, they launched heavy counter- attacks, but the Italians tenaciously held the ground they had won. The new advance of the Italians brings them appreciably nearer Trieste, which, from the lower part of the line, is less than ten miles away. The ground traversed and yet to be pas.=ed over is difficult for military operations, and even with other suc- cessful advances, such as the last one, the objective of the Italians will not be attained except by fighting of a most ferocious nature.

I More Important Positions Are j Captured and Defences of Trieste Menaced. A despatch' from London says: From Plava. on the Isonzo, to the Adriatic .Sea, the Italians and Aus- trian.'; are fighting bitterly, and the troops of General Cadorna are making steady progress, especially on the southern end of the 21-mile front. North and south of .lamiano, eight miles south of Gorizia, the Italians have driven the Austrians back and taken additional important positions. ' The gains here are a direct menace to the defences of Trieste. The fighting is made harder because of the barren, hilly country. Despite the difficulties of terrain and the stubbornness of the enemy resistance, however, Cadorna's men have taken two strongly fortified hills north of .lamiano and reached the outskirts of Versio. The Austrian:^ have attempted to check the Italians' advance on the Southern Carso by making violent counter-attacks south and east of Gorizia and along the Vodice sector. At all points of attack the Austrians were driven back with heavy losses, land east of Hill (!,')2, on the Vodice, the Italians captured the position from which the Austrians emerged to the attack. The number of prisoners taken by (Jeneral (Cadorna's coiamand since Wednesday morning has increas- ed to 10,:; 1."], including more than HOO oflficers. \ Oonntry Produo»â€" WTiole^Ble Huttcr- Fresh dairy, choice. 3!) to 40c; creamery prints. 43 to 45c; nolids, 42 to 43c.
