Italian Headquarters In Northern
Italy, Nov. 1.-THE f1oodgates of the
Piave and Sile, or Old Piave, rivers
have been opened by Italian military
engineers and the enemy is now faced
by another User of inundation.
The flood was lOOsed at the point
where the enemy succeeded in crossing
the Piave near Grislera flour miles
from the coast), and the whole region
der water. The inundated territory
forms q huge triangle about twelve
niles on each side, with the apex at
Dona Di Piave. The enemy had been
driven back, but still held on within
this Triangle until the dykes from both
rivers released the water over the low
lying plain.
The chief menace at that point was
that the enemy might be able to ap-
prOach Venice through the lagoon or
lombard the city from his position be-
tween the rivers. The inundation in
terpOses q barrier of water twelve
miles across and several feet deep.
Reports which have reached head
quarters from other points on the front
are also favorable.

most empty, the population having
been reduced from the usual 100000
to 10000.
The city may not be defended in
case of an attack, in order to spare
the monuments and art treasures.
The mayor of Venice, who is descen-
dant of the doges and a chamberlain
to the Queen of Italy, announced that
he would remain at his post.
The outward appearance of the city
is very desolate, much like when the
on it, more than fifty years ago. All
the main hotels, cafes and factories
and the jewelry and glass shops pat
ronized by tourists are closed.
The city authorities are furnishing
trains and ships to take away any of
the remaining population who wish
to go. The best known centers, such
as the Rialto bridge, st. Marks square
and the square where the gondolas are
hired are now deserted except by few
stragglers.
There are five shops open and they
are selling goods at any price to save
them from passing into the hands of
the enemy.
All the government offices have been
removed outside the city, but the gov
eminent project, Count Ciola, remains
at his post.
