RENEWAL OF OFFENSIVE. TO RELIEVE WESTERN FRONT. ' Received March 19, 5.5 p.m. London, March 18. The Daily Chronicle's Rome correspondent reports that, lesiring to relieve the pressure at Verdun, General Cadoma •is conducting a general attack from Plava to the Adriatic. Despite the exceptionally favorable weather the sodden ground is preventing massed infantry attacks, except on Carso plateau, but bomb throwers and aerial torpedoers are •active. • The troops, who are protected by quaint medieval head shields and breast plates, are engaged in hand-to-hand fighting in the labyrinthine defences at Carso. Many do not fix their bayonets, but use them as daggers.
