NEWS OF THE WEEK.

THE Italian successes on the Isonzo front surpass in interest and importance every other military event of the week. We heartily congratulate our Ally on a great military feat accom- plished in difficult country and under many incidental disadvan- tages, such as the lack of water on the Carso. General Cadonia's triumph on the Southern Carso was a brilliant method of celebrating the second anniversary of his country's entry into the war. On Wednesday week the new attack began after an intense bombard- ment lasting ten hours, in which we are glad to know that ten British batteries of artillery did valuable service. During that one day more than nine thousand Austrian prisoners were taken, including three hundred officers.
