THE MINER WAR

London: Italy’s armies are
making an heroic, and so far
successful, stand against the
Austro-German masses thrown

against them in desperate attacks |:

along the line of the Piave river,
and in the mountainous region of
the Trentino district. The river
line has’ not been breached at
‘any point, while the thrust of
the Austrians southward ‘from
‘the hills in an attempt to drive

' a wedge through the plains be-

hind the Piave river line is mak-
‘ing slow progress, Near the
. Adriatic"the water barrier to any
Austro-German advance toward
Venice, raised by opening flood
gates into the swampy region, is
being reinforced by the work of
the army ‘artillery and the guns
of the Italian’ warships on the
Adyiatin - +
The Italian line yielded slightly

the capture of Monte Prassolan
by the Austro-Gegman troops is

war theaters is on a comparative-
_dy small scale, ‘The most impart-

anit move was made in Flanders

by the British, who pushed further
north on the Goeburg spur,north-
west of Passchendaele, capturing
- the strongly-fortified redoubt. of
- Voreation Farm, improving thei’
positions on this sector to make
the present line across Passchen-
daele Ridge easier to hold.
In’ Palestine the British. forces
which’ recently. made so spectac-
ular an advance up the Mediter-
ranean coast to the neighborhood
of Jaffa, are still moving forward,
but are apparently feeling | their
way with. cattion. ‘The Turks
are giving signs ot making a
stand a few miles north of Jaffa,
where they are reported to be
'. preparing entrenched positions.
’ Jn the sectot of the French
front held by American troops
there has beer increased artillery
activity, incidental to which there
have been. additions to the Amer-
‘jcan casualty list, some of which
occurred when a German. shell
hit an American gun. -
