FRENCH AND AUSTRIANS.
- „ LONDON, Januarv 6. Mr Julius Price reports frofti the Italian front : "In the shallow valley between the French and Austrian lines in the Monte Tomba region the Austrians brought up a picked division, expecting an onslaught. After several hours' bombardment the' French, with loud hurrahs, scrambled over the parapet and charged down the snow-clad slope. The Austrians immediately opened a tremendons barrage against the figures silhouetted on the snowy background. The Frenchmen, with their downhill impetus, carried on ■up the slope, and there was hand-to-hand fighting along the whole line, but the issue was never in doubt."
