of trenches facing in every direction.
which made the defense of the position
easy. Two OF the most important po-
sitions were the triangular redoubt and
another position called Fortino. which
were furnished with machine guns and
protected by formidable artillery. II
was against this part of the front that
the Italian artillery was directed yes
terday with magnificent results.
Il followed the battle yesterday y
morning from a central point between
Novavas and Villanova. 1t was a fam
tastic sight. The Austrian trenches
Were converted into heaps of rubble
by the big shells, which shot columns
OF smoke and dust 800 feet into the
air.
"At 1890 reports came that though h
the trenches and barbed wire entangle-
ments had been wiped out, the enemy
were hidden in caves awaiting the in
fantry attack. The artillery opened
afresh on second and third Austrian
lines. the bombardment reaching its

est season out doors ever experienced
by the company. At the close of the
game the Philadelphia rooters, led by
their band, snake danced through the
principal streets of Altoona in cele-
hration of the victory.
