Checked east of the Brenta last week, the invaders despite the heavy losses inflicted upon them by the Italians, have struck at two new points between the Asiago and Piave. i Monte Solariolo, between the Brenta and the Piave, has become the center of fighting in this sector. Berlin claims the capture of some Italian positions there and the repulse of Italian

counter attacks. Vigorous attacks in this region, Rome says, were repulsed by the defenders.
