Italians Stop. Movement
for Flooded Land

Italian Army Headquarters in North
ern italy, Saturday, Dec. 1.-The en-
envy has again turned it's attention to
the lower Piave river, where large
forces of his infantry with machine
guns have attempted to seek a lodg-
ment inside the inundated triangle
between the Piave and dido Piave.
This inundated region is crossed lat
orally by several roads which stand
Just above the water, and, taking ad-
vantage of this, the enemy has adj
vanced his forces along these high
stretches and given considerable trou-
BILE with shipping from the upper win
dows of farm houses.
The italian batteries west of the tri-
angle and marine batteries at the
mouth of the river have heavily shell
ed these movements along these roads
crossing the inundated section until
the attempt to approach from that d.
rection has been stopped.
Brigadier General Scrixen continues
his tours Of inspection on behalf OF
the American government, visiting the
Duke of Aosta, commander of the
Third army. at his headquarters and
making careful survey OF Sega hill
and cemetery road, where a desperate
fight occurred and Austrians who had
crossed the Pave were thrown back
into the river.
At Sega hill, heavy bombardment
was in progress. One shell struck a
trench in which General Scriven was
making observations, opening huge
fissure and killing two Italian soldiers
outright. The Italian artillery was
more than holding it's own.
While General Scriven was in the
trenches Austrian batteries got the
range of his army automobile which
was waiting on Cemetery road. They
landed two shrapnel shells dangerous
ly close to the car, shaking up its at
tendants
