LOKDON, July 14, The- High: Commiseioner reports:— i The Italians beat off an enemy couneer-attack at Mount Maib. On the Sette Comuni Plateau there has been heavy fighting. On Tuesday in the Tofana region, at the northern extremity of the Venetian Alps, we exploded a powerful mine, entirely blowing up positions on the Castelletto summit, eastward of the Peak Col dei Bois. This commands the road to the Dolmites, giving ue entire possession of the Austrian force occupying the trenches in that position. The summit is buried in wreckage. , . Last night the enemy made an attempt to regain the lost position, which we had strongly fortified. The attempt completely broke down, the enemy losing heavily.
