At Monte Croce tho assaults were
especially strong:, but wcro repulsed, nc
cording to tho ofTlclal report of Gen

On tho Frlull frontier tho Austrlans
art also stubbornly resisting tho Italian
advance, and havo .mado several at

making steady but slow progress In
their drive across tho Isonzo, and havo
captured several Austrian works de
fended by heavy artillery.
ROME, Juno 4.
After retiring steadily before tho Italian
invasion the Austrlans have nnally as
sumed the offensive. An official state
ment, based upon dispatches from Lieu
tenant General Count Lulcl 'Cadorna,
Chief of the general staff, announces that
the Austrlans are striving violently to
retake the positions which they lost to
the Italians at Monto Croce. All along
the Carnla frontier tho Austrlans nro
delivering fierce attacks' In the Alpine
passes, but everywhere these havo been
repulsed.
Th official statement follows:
"Along the entire front, movements of
troops preparatory to fighting are con
tinuing favorably,
PltOQKESS ACROSS ISONZO.
"We deem It expedient to call attention
to the slow though determined offensive
of our troops In the mountains on the left
bank of the Isonzo River, overcoming
me Austrian works which are strongly
defended by big guns. Our troops havo
progressed steadily through mountain
forges and over preclpltlous cliffs. Along
the frontier of Carnla the Austrlans aro
fiercely but unsuccessfully attacking our
positions. In Carnla the Austrlans aro
endeavoring without success to retnke tho
position lost to us at Monto Croce. Wo
are now complete masters of Monte
Nero.
