AUSTRIANS BROKEN BY FRONTAL AND FLANK ATTACK.
ITALIANS IN CLOSE PURSUIT OF RETREATING ENEMY. ,• i ■ Australian nnd N.Z. and Btuter. LONDON, Oct. 80. x An Italian communique states: Our Eighth and Twelfth Armies attacked the enemy frontally, while the Tenth Army threatened his flank. The enemy abandoned his positions on the heights of the east bank of the Piave and is retreating, hard pressed.. We have liberated numerous villages, and our parties closely followed the enemy, who blew up the bridges on the Monticano. We entered Conegliano, and north on the right bank of the Piave we co-operated with troops on the left bank and passed, after a lively and brilliant struggle, beyond the Caleino torrent. Bitter fighting continues in <jthe region of Monte Grappa, south of the Asiago Plateau. We took 1000 prisoners and captured over 150 guns, of which many are already in action against the enemy.
