To All outward appearance the austrian offensive Iri the italian theatre thus far has met with failure All along the front from the venetian Alps to the Adriatic sea. In the Hill Region additional ground has been taken from the invaders while along the Piave River where intensive fighting is in Progress at some Points with flu Tua tin results the balance toward ultimate Victory seems to Lay in favor of the italian armies. South and East of asiago the French and italians in counter offensive have taken prisoners and regained and Costalunga past which the austrians had hoped to push their front and gain the Astico River Valley which leads. Vicenza on the Plains below. Not alone were the positions but More than two Hundred prisoners fell into the hands of the Allied troops. Over the entire Mountain Region the austrians have remained quiet except when compelled to so on the defensive. Then their efforts to hold Back their antagonists have lacked the stamina usual in men whose hearts Are in their task. This condition has prevailed since the first onslaught of the enemy was summarily stopped by the fire of the British French and italian forces forming the Barrier to the venetian Plains. More heart is being thrown into the work by the enemy along the Piave from the Montello the Region of Venice. Here he still seems notwithstanding his heavy losses and numerous repulses on various sectors Bent upon throwing his armies across the Stream or pushing further Westward with those of his forces that already have forded it. Ice Erth Eless further setbacks to the austrians have followed those of past Days on the Montello were the italians Are viciously disputing the right of Way to the Plain likewise near the famous Senson Loop farther Down the Stream the enemy s vicious attacks have been held and under the impetus of the italian counter blows he has fallen Back nearer the River for reinforcements hastily brought up. Report Cape silo recaptured still further South Between Fai Sallata i san Dona. I Piaf i. The italians have further pushed Back the invaders and unofficial reports assert that they have recaptured the Village of Cape Sile lying on the Edge of the Morsh Region some Twenty Miles East of historic Venice. It is not outside the Range of possibility that a Large number of. The austrians Are. In a fair Way to be taken prisoner by the italians for a Large number of the Pontoon Bridges which they threw across the Piave Over the front Between the Conegliano railway Bridge and the Henson Loop have been carried away on the bosom of the swollen Stream. At any rate the loss of these Bridges will necessarily seriously impede the reinforcement of the. Austrians on the West Bank of the Stream and the replenishment of their supplies. Meanwhile the 1 Ood situation and the War-1 weariness of. The people within the dual monarchy again Are making trouble for the authorities troublous times Are for the German government owing to bread. In Are reported to have raided bakeries and stoned the residence of the and even to have attacked one of the wings of the Imperial troops had to be called out to restore order. Little fighting is.
