TEUT0NS ATTEMPT
 BIG DRIVE
Repetition of Turning Movement EN- ecutcd Above G"rizia Six Weeks
 .igo iS .\bOrtiXc

ITALY. Dee. :, The TrulOns to- day attempted a repetition of the big turning movement successfully exc ruted six weeks ago in GOriZia but were defeated in their plan. The con duet of the Italian troops is above all praise. They are contesting every foot of the enemy's advance with spirit and confidence. even in the face of great odds. In today's fighting the Italian troops swept forward with cheers until the position was cleared with bayonets first. and then with bayonets wrenched from their rifles and used as ble-edged knives. The eHtmys forces were backed with bat teries concentrated from all points. Before their intense fire the Italians were compelled to fall back again and again until the upper slopes were abandoned. The fighting is going on with unabated vigor. and while it is too soon to prophecy The result. it is certain that if the TeutOns advance they will pay dearly for their vic tory.
 The Italians have been reinforced with many big guns and infantry, and have prepared strong defenses on the river banks It is now clear that. not withstanding the great numbers of troops employed by the enemy and his advantages of Terrain. he is able to advance only slowly. now that he is not assisted by the element of sur prise and unpreparedness.

 The department of the interior con -lders that the act covers Alaska be- cause of the legislative recOgrition accorded said Section 1924 by the get of congress of December 1. 1913.
