NEW GAS ASSISTS ENEMY IN BURSTING THROUGH.
(A. & X.Z.) (Rec. Oct. 30, 11.10 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 29. Mr G. Ward Price, writing from Italian Headquarters, says: Th>- truth is the enemy overwhelmed a single corps of the Second . Italian Army, and forced a way into the gap thus formed, obliging the Italians to evacuate the Bainsizza Plateau. The German attack was the more formidable owing to the use of a special gas before the bombardment from unsuspected batteries. This broke the Italian resistance. Neither Italy nor the Allies should exaggerate the gravity of the position.
