A short stretch of. the track which the Austrians captured cap-tured was covered with the bodies of their dead. "Attacks follow one another methodically, methodi-cally, but slowly, on account of the difficult diffi-cult terrain and the continually changing chang-ing lines, which prevent both sides from using their artillery, to the full effect. The fine weather is favorable to aviation avia-tion operations and the Italian airplanes continue to destroy bridges and to direct their machine guns at a low altitude on the enemy troops. "A lull, that probably is only momentary, momen-tary, continues in the mountain zone. "At present more than forty enemy divisions di-visions are engaged in the battle line, and of these thirty already have suffered suf-fered heavily."
