IN HEAVY DUEL
italians and Austro- Germans In
Battle Array Along Both Sides
Of Piave River.
ITALIANS HOLDING LINE
Teutons Fall In EncIrcIing Movement
After Several Attempts-Berlln
Claims Capture Of
Prisoners.

Rome, Nov. 14.-While Italy's line
reinforced with Britis hand French
troops and guns has successfully with
stood the first blow aimed at the
Piave river positions by the Austro-
German forces, Berlin reports that
Fonzaso and Mont Longara have been
captured by the invading armies. The
German war office also records the
storming of Leone and the armored
works around Diacampo and Diana.
Latins and Huns Locked in Battle.
London, Nov. 14.-Along the Piave
river from the hilly region in the
north to the Adriatic sea, the Italians
and Austro-German armies are in bat
tie array, the Italians on the western
side and the enemy along the east
bank
The main army OF the Austro-Hun-
garians and Germans has taken the
place of the advanced guard, which
has been scattered along the stream
for several days and throughout the
entire region the guns of both sides
are engaged in duels. Thus far the
enemy is using only five-inch guns,
having been unable as yet to bring his
heavier pieces into action. The guns
of the Italians consist in considerable
numbers of those they were able to
bring back with them during the re-
treat from the Isonzo front.
Encircling Moves Fail.
The Italians are holding the line
along the Piave and also in the region
running westward through the hilly
country from the vicinity of Feltre tc
the Settle Comuni. Several attempts
made by the enemy to pierce the north
front and encircle the Italian left wing
have failed.
The Berlin official communication
asserts that on the Upper Piave 1O,OOt
Italians have been cut off and forced
to surrender, and also that the Teu
tonic forces have pressed southwark
from Belluno and now are standing
before the town of Feltre, on the wes
bank of the Piave. 1t Is considered
possible that the enemy may make al
attempt to press southwark from thii
region, along the valley and the rail
road, but the Italians here are en-
trenched in strong positions, which ap
parently cannot be taken except unde
heavy losses.
Comparative Calm In West.
On the battle fronts In France ant
Belgium comparative calm prevails, ex
cept for the usual artillery activit!
and raiding operations.
In Palestine the Turks who hav'
been pushed back on numerous sector
by the British forces under Genera
Allenby, now are preparing defensiv
positions 20 miles southwest OF Jeru
salem, near Hebron. The British how
ever, are using their mounted troop
and again have made some progres
toward FL Tine. Scottish infantry ais
has attacked the enenfys right nan
successfully and captured a numpe
, of machine guns.
