ITALIANS ATTACKING ANOTHER PHZEMYSL.
TOLMINO THE KEY TO THE ISONZO VALLEY.
TOWN DEFENDED BY GARRISON OF THIRTY THOUSAND,
(Received June 20, 3-30 p-m-)
Rome, June 19.
. With a garrison aggregating 30,000 men and powerful, natural, and artificial defences multiplying the possibilities of resistance, Tolmino, on the Upper Isonzo, is gradually becoming for Italy what Przemysl has been for Russia, Tolmino being the key to the Isonzo Valley, an early capture with a view to ensuring the safety of the Friuli frontier is indispensable.
The Austrians have been reinforced. More attacks have been delivered without result against the Italians who are encamped at Brentonico, on the slopes of Altissimo Mountain; at Serravalle, in the Langarino Valley and also in the Arsa Valley. \ ;
