AUSTRO-ITALIAN WAR.
OQRIZIA BEING BOMBARDED. TERRIFIC FIGHTING EASTWARD. CONTESTS FOR INCHES. Rome, Angust 17. Prisoners are still arriving from Gorizia. They are trembling and dazed and are suffering from the terrible effect of the battle. Gorizia is still under the trajectory of the opposing batteries, which pour in hurricane of shells at times. This is nothing to the actual fighting scenes eastward of the town. Battalion after battalion comes in close touch with the enemy. Every inch of ground is hotly contested and there are furious hand-to-hand encounters. Thickly armoured cars dash to within a few. feet of the enemy lines and pour in’ an enfilading machine-gun fire.
