We regret to say that our gallant Italian Allies seem

to have suffered something in the nature of a setback in Tirol, around Rovereto. The Austrians, who are almost as accomplished romancers in this respect as the Germans, claim to have taken over six thousand prisoners and a good many guns. That, of course, is a greatly exaggerated statement. The fact appears to be that, though the Italians have given very little ground, and though, as before, all the fighting has been on Austrian territory, the enemy made a successful assault on a fairly wide front. The Austrians have done what the Italians have done again and again since the war began—pushed the enemy's trench-line back.
