THE ITALIAN VICTORY.
ENEMY PUSHED BACK TAVO MILES ON A 31 MILE FRONT. (Received 6, 9.50 a.m.) London, Nov. 5. An Italian semi-official report says that two days’ incessant fighting in the Northern Carso had not exhausted the dashing Eleventh Army, which advanced eastward besides northwards. Pivoting on Mount Taits, the key to the enemy’s defences, they then wheeled southeastward, capturing strong defences and eliminating a whole salient. The whole advance covers a tract of over two miles deep and 3| miles wide. The 9000 prisoners taken include 259 officers. VERY LIKE AN ENEMY COLLAPSE. (Received 6, 9.50 a.m.) Rome, Nov. 5. “La Tribuna” says the Austrians on the Southern Carso lost contact with the Austrians in the Northern Carso. The enemy did not expect the Italian to continue the attack at night, and a whole battalion were fallen prisoner in the caves without a shot. An Austrian brigade staff at Faithihrib were also surrounded in the darkness and compelled to surrender.
