MONTE SANTO VICTORY
WORK AHEAD OF THE ITALIANS
TO ttJSACH THE LAIBAOH PLAIN,
(Received August 28, 1 p.m.)
LONDON, 27th August.
The capture of Monte Santo has given the Italians access to the Vippaco Valley; but before conquering the valley the Italians must capture Uhe Ternova Wood, which, flanks it on the north. This will give them command of the Laibach Plain, and will also enable them to turn the Carso. The difficulties of the ground in the Ternova district are considerable, and wiil possibly enable the Ausfcrians to prolong their resistance. The fact that Germany regarded ilhe Isonzo as an insurmountable banner for the Italians explains their withholding of assistance from the Austrians.
