Italians Driven Back, Losing
Allof Summer Campaign Gains

italy, whose armies have been in
yading Austria for some months past,
has been driven from its captured
Iterritory back into its borders, and
even further, since the Austro-(s German
forces are actually invading Italian
ground.
The reported withdrawal of German
troops from the Russian lines near
Riga, some weeks ago, appears now
to be accounted for in the concenfra-
tion OF many German divisions with
those of Austria in the foreeful drive
against Italy
The latter is SO hard pressed and
its ability to stop the enemy rush is
so much in doubt, as to point fo the
