italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Nov. 24.-The battle of the
mountains is raging with unexampled
violence. The Italians again hold the
Monte TOmba, and Monte Persica pO-
sitions which they lost last night. The
losses have been very. great, but the
enemy's far exceeds those Of the Ital-
ians. On the outcome of the noun.
tain battle depends the result of the
enemy's greatest effort to break
through the Italian lines to the Vene-
tian plain. The recapt1Pe OF the ltal.
ian positions on Monte Tomba- was
accomplished by a succession of bril-
liant charges which dyed the SHOWS
red and left the ground piled with en-.
emy dead. Monte Petrtca was lost
and won four times, the enemy finally
being thrown back. Although the loss.
es have been terrible, those of tho
enemy are by far the greater owing TO
the condition Of the fighting field sud

H. ,d+I Breaks in Full Fury ;ijf s,
The battle, which had been gradual
ly gathering force in the last few days,
broke in full fury early yesterday and
ragged throughout the day, the night,
and again today. The first blow was
struck at Monte Pertica, where dense
masses of enemy infantry were hurl.
ed against the italians. The fighting
was extremely violent. s"*
The enemy's greatest blow was
aimed at the stragetic key of Monte
Tomba and Monte Monfenera. Here
the full force of two divisions, one
German, the other Austrian were hurl-
ed in furious attack on the Italian
right wing in an effort to turn the
wing and cut the army from its line
Of communication along the Piave.
Now comes one of the bloodiest strug-
gles OF the war, which went on all
last night and today, with steady
session of attacks and counter at.
tacks. z.S,-
What the outcome will be cannot be
foreseen, but the Italian arms have
again covered themselves with glory
and have snatched back victory when
It was hanging in the balance. Even
the enemy yields tribute to Italian
valor for prisoners say their forces
are surprised at the resistance met
and disconnected by the impetuOus
bravery of the Italian troops.
