Fears of Smelling
DepOpulates Venice.

Venice Italy, Nov. 15.--Venice is
now almost empty, the population hav-
ing been reduced from the usual 100000
to 10000. Despite the proximity of the
enemy lines at the mouth of the Pave
river and the unsuccessful efforts the
Austria Germans have made to take
the long triangle between the mouths
of the Piave and Sile rivers, the rem
nant of the population is calm.
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 a descendant
of the Doges and chamberlain TO the
queen of Italy, announced today that
he would remain at his post.
The outward appearance Of the city
is very desolate, much like when the
Austrians made their last descent upon
it, more than SO years ago. All the
main hotels, cafes and factories and
the jewelry and glass shops patronized
by tourists are closed. The Hotel Roy
al Danieli on the Grand canal remains
partly open and two well-known cafes
on the Piazza of st. Mark, the Florian
and Quadri, are still open. There is
nothing open along the Lido.
The city authorities are furnishing
trains and ships to take away any re-
manning 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.

Open Fl0Odgates
Drive Enemy Back.

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Thursday, Nov. 15.-By the Asso-
ciated press) The flood gates 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 Grizolera flour miles from
the coasD and the whole region where
he gained lodgment is now under wat
er. The inundated territory forms a
huge triangle about u miles on each
side with the appeN 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 APP
proach Venice through the lagoon or
hOmbard the city from his position be-
hind the rivers. The inundation inter-
poses barrier of water Il miles across
and several feet deep.
Reports which have reached head
quarters from other points on the front
are also favorable.
