how that the Austriana lost heavily
In the day' fighting. The attack on
Losson waa carried out by a fresh
brigade, composed of the 16th and
32nd Schutten corps and special de
tachments. The Italian counter
preparation caught the enemy while
assembling and threw him Into dis
order. Nevertheless hi attack was

support, a atrong portion got a foot
ing on the eastern edge of Losson,
but later was enveloped by a rapid
and brisk counter attack. Eighty
men were captured and the remain
der were killed or wounded.

among the defenders and capturing
200 prisoners. Th dash enabled
the Italians to widen their, position."

left bank of the Plave.
"Along the MontebeIluno-8usega-
na railroad, the battle raged all -of
yesterday afternoon and night A
short stretch of the track which the
Austrian captured wo covered with
the bodies of their dead.
"Attacks follow one another meth
odically, but slowly, on account of
the difficult terrain and the ever
changing lines, which prevent both
side from using their artillery to
the full extent. The One weather Is
favorable to the aviation operations
and tbe airplanes continue to des
troy enemy bridges and to direct
their machine guns at a low altitude
on the enemy troops.
"At present more than 40 enemy
divisions are engaged In the battle
line and of these 30 already have
suffered heavily."
