| The account says that the encount-
Hers Jon thA elevated stretch of land,
Where there are Austrian fortifoa-
4 Gdns,1was a iicfce ibne which result
ed in reverse for the Italians. The
! fact that ,the Italians are so near
Trent, however, is regarded here as
highly significant, and as an indica-
ton that the bombatdment OF Trent
Itself. may be expected very shortly.
Further to the northeast Italian
troops have penetrated to the town
| of Paneveggio, according to Vienna re
ports, where they appeared in con-
siderable strength. Paneveggio is
but few miles east of the railroad
which runs from Innsbruck through
Bozen to Trent. This railroad is the
main source of Austrian supplies for
Trent and its capture at point in
the neighborhood of Paneveggiq
would consequently mean the isola-
ton of Trent.

port of the Russian General Staff
made public tonight declares that the

| movement in the eastern field OF war
is not only checked but that in many

| slams were falling back they have
now assumed the offensive

| pressure in the Shawl region near
! the shores of the Baltic and they are
taking prisoners in the Pilitza River

slav and southeast of Sieniawa has
