ADVANCING WITH AMAZING RAPIDITY.
I (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association) I ROME, August 31. Mr Julius Price, official war correspondent, says the advance has given the Italians possession bf 93 miles ot t splendid country, including the strongest portion of the Austrian line on the middle Isonzo. Already a great number of guns and a vast amount of material have been captured-, and the prisoners m Italian enclosures total over two divisions.
An important fact is that the victory j is. still unfinished. | The Italians are advancing with ! amazing rapidity. Military highways ! are being constructed with lightning I speed, and guns, ammunition and water pushed forward over the Bainsizza plateau. . ■ . German newspapers assert that Marshal Hindenburg, at a War Council, urged that the plateau was untenable, but Prince Conrad insisted on the necessity for holding it at all cost, as it commanded the strategic line between Tolmino and Gorizia.
