Still a Draw.

vancing into Austria by way of the

storms and the floods, as well as the
bad condition Of the roads. the work

at some points, has been found next

The battle in the valley of the Is
ONO between CapOretta (karfreit)

conclusion, both sides having been re-
inforced. Farther TO the south the
Italians are also meeting with obstin-

trians have acted very sparingly with
ammunition, showing the immense
drain on their supplies in the eastern
