There was no let-up to-day in the gaabing blows of the Allied Armies against forces of the Central Powers. Counter attacks were everywhere repulsed. A correspondent at the headquarters of the Italian forces telegraphs that the Austrian losses in dead and wounded reach 35,000. The 13,000 officially reported captured bring the total Austrian casualties up to 48,000, Gen, Cadorna to-day reported big gains on the entire Isonzo front. Thirty guns were taken, Despatches from the front announce that the British this morning began another attack on the battle-scarred ground between Langemarck and Frezenberg in Flanders. Gen. Haig officially reported the repulse of German counter attacks against the newly won Canadian positions in the outskirts of Lens, Attacks northwest and north of Lens were also beaten back. Paris announces that the Germans made a violent counter attack last night on the Verdun front west of the Meuse. They penetrated the French lines at points in their attempts to recapture the ground taken trom them in the French offensive. The War Office announces they were driven out. German attacks east of the Meuse also were repulsed, The number of German unwounded prisoners taken has reached 6,116. There are 600 wounded prisoners in the French field hospital. Berlin officially admits that French troops have gained a footing In the southeastern part of Avocourt Wood and on the knolls to the east of that position, on the Verdun front, It is also admitted that gains were made by the French east of the Meuse. There were ten divisions. nearly 200,000 men, in the French attacking force. Berlin concedes gains by Canadians at Lens, Even Vienna admits big losses to the Italians. A despatch from there says the War Office announces that the new attack of the Italians has forced back the Austrian line at some points and the village of Selo, on the Carso Plateau, has been lost. It is claimed as an offset that the Austrians have taken more than 5,000 prisoners. taenememene AUSTRIANS HURLED BACK ON THE ENTIRE ISONZO FRONT Killed and Wounded Austrians Alone Number 35,000—Five Villages Captured in Their Onward Sweep, but Found in Ruins.
