LONDON, October 20, Latest accounts from the Italian frcnt are regarded spmewhat less gloomily, as showing that a combination of! many adverse and' unexpected conditions prevented the Italians from stemming the first onslaught.
The "Daily Telegraph's" Milan correspondent says a small nucleus of troops defending the passes opposite Tolmino fought like heroes against an overwhelming force. Another enemy wave tried to force the passage of a valley between Robic and Creda, but were stopped. Successive attempts to force a passage between Iderseo and Lucio were foiled, and the Germans were compelled to fall back before repeated bayonet charges of a celebrated Italian brigade. A German.attack from Santa Maria and Santa Lucia towards tho valey of Indrio was checked at Cenvponi, Montejoza and finally at Globocak.
