THE AUSTRIAN DRIVE HALTED
Defense of Italians in Battle Near
Trent Has tiffened-FTench
RepuIse Germans.

London, May 19.-The Italians in
Southern Tyrol now are tenaciously
holding back the Austrians from fur
Their inroads into their positions. In
the Lerdo valley, southwest of Trent,
and in the Lagarina valley, to the
south of the city, the Austrians, after
heavy artillery preparation, threw
vicious attacks against the Italian
lines, but all were repulsed with heavy
casualties, according to Rome.
Five attacks were made on Zezna-
torta, the same number as were made
Wednesday, and again all of them
were stopped with sanguinary losses.
Paris, May -9.-SeEeral attacks were
made by German troops on the Yer
dun front last night, in an effort to
capture a redoubt at Avacourt. The
official statement of today says the
Germans were repulsed each time and
that they lost heavily. French troops
after severe fighting captured a Ger
man fort on the northeast slope of
Hill 3O4.
A German trench north of Hill 2S7
was raided by French forces, which
killed or captured the occupants of
these positions.
On the Verdun front east of the
Mouse the artillery on both sides was
active during the night.
Two French aeroplanes dropped
eighty more shells on the railway at
Metz on the night of May Is.
London, May 18.-Interest in the
war operations has shifted suddenly
to the Italian front, where the Aus
TRANS have begun to attack along the
whole line, but particularly in south
ern Tyrol, against the Italian troops
threatening Trent
Here the Italian troops occupied
positions just over the Austrian Dor
der from the Adige valley, south OF
Rovereto, to the Astico valley. The
Austrian attacks cover a front of
twenty-three miles
The Italians admit their retirement
on this front and the latest official
Austrian account claims continued
gains, the capture of several enemy
positions and penetrating of the Ter
ragnola sector, the driving of the ItaI
ians from Moschere and the storming
of Zegnatorta during the night.
