The battle of Isonzo has assumed a terrible majestic appearance between Tolining and the sea. The noise of the gura was heard at Trieste. Two Austrian regiments strongly entrenched north of Tolmino were annihilated. "Bofore Gorizia, the magnitude of the battle has surpassed the imagination of the Austrians who reckoned that their heavy artillery was superior. When the attack began all their guns were brought up including some twelve and sixteen-half inch, but they proved unavailing against the Italians. Attackers with grenades caused huge mountains of fires, forcing the Austrians to withdraw. The Austrians at other points sot their trenches afire with petrol prior to abandonment. The Austrian losses were enormous.
