AUSTRIA OPENS
FRESH DRIVES
UPON ITALIANS

VIENNA, May 20.-After consolidat-
ing their new positions the Austro-
Hungarians have begun fresh series
of attacks against the Italian lines.
Severe fighting has again developed
in the southern part of Trentino be-
tween the Adie river and Val Sugana,
where the forces Of Arch Duke Eugene
are striving for positions which will
menace the lines of communication
supplying the Italian armies in the
Dolomites, in the Carnic Alps and on
the Isonzo river. A decisive advance
southwark from the ridge of Maggia
would probably compel the retirement
OF the Italians all along the line.
