The booty captured already is of enormous quantity. After annihilating the resistance of the Austrians at the Livenza, Italian | cavalry divisions have pushed forward and now are nearing the Tagliameiito River. Great numbers of airplanes preceding the Italian trocps are using their machine guns on the retreating enemy columns. The Italiins also are fast advanc- ing in the direction of Udine, and Pordrone already has been taken.' The Third Army, reinforced by ma- rines, has occupied the whole intri- cate zone along the Adriatic. Bell- uno has been occupied by the Twelfth Army, while at the extreme eastern sector of the front Italian marines have occupied Caerole.
