The weather was very unfavour. able, but despite the night march in torrential rain, the long wait in the early morning in sodden clothes in trenches half- full of water, the troops very dashingly carried out the programme without a hitch. attacking the defences front- ally and, simultaneously, an outflanking movement which cut of the retreat of the Bulgarians, the majority of whom were in the village and surrendered.

Prisoners confirm other evidence of the bumanity of the Bulgare towards British prisoners and wounded.

SPLE DID ITALIAN VICTORY,

Nember 4 410 a.m.

An Italian semi-official announcement says that the advance in Northern Carso was vigorously pressed on Nov. 9, particularly at the ridge commanding Cartanirizza Road- a principal artery of communication. Italian, from Vallone scaled the rock terraces castwards, and drove the enemy southwards, advancing to a depth of 34 miles, reaching the third Austrian line and capturing valuable observation posts.

The trenches taken on Nov. 1 consisted of two Enes, Give feet deep, excavated in solid rock. These were grouped at important points to form a succession of field redoubts.

Two days' fighting resulted in a considerable extension and consolidation of the Italian occupation of the Carso, and the fact that a Brigadier General and other high officers were among the prisoners on Nov. 2 shows the depth pene- trated by the Italians

An Austrian communíque claims that they gained ground south-east of Roterterm Pase, south-west of Predeal, from the Rumanians and asserts that gigantic Italian attacks were repulsed, and altogether 2,000 Italians were captured; but admits a loss of two batteries in the Carso.
