ITALY.

"DAREDEVILS'" ASTOUNDING FEATS. London, July 8. The Italian Arditi, or "Daredevils," performed astounding feats of agility in the closing phase of the battle, They adopted a novel method of approaching and silencing the swarm of machine, guns behind barbed wire. The Daredevils carried long vaulting poles, made a mighty rush and jumped the obstacles, landing in the rear of the bewildered gunners and drove daggers into their hacks. One Daredevil alone stampeded eight Austvians into the Italian lines under the menace of an uplifted hand-bomb. One Bersaglieri company captured a battery of six 4in. mortars, Another, preceded by Arditi, armed with flamethrowers, stormed a factory in face of 40 machine-guns, blew up a munition depot and took prisoner an entire Austrian command.—Aus. N.Z. Cable Assoc.
