IS Delayed The Aus ,rians who forced their way across inc piave river above Benson have baen thrown into the river, drowned, bavonetted, killed or captured, until now moi one enemy remains on the west hank at that most threatened noint The fight was one of the most fearful chapters of the war and one of the most glorious from the Allied viewpoint.
 Details of the fight have been gathered from eye Witnesses who eaw inc fearful carnage thru Friday night and Saturday and who stayed nptil the whole west bank was cleared except for the corpses on fbe shore and in the foreground. The. wounded were so nufnerous That many have not yet received first aid.
 Austrians' Early Success.
 The enemy had staked everything on getting to the west bank of the river. and the Italians staked every thing on keeping him on the eastern hank This nerved both to despera tion. The Austrians made the first move. Friday, in two separate cross ings short distance above Zenson, first at the village of Fagare and then an old mill called the Saga mill, near Folina.
 Several circumstances enabled them to pass. They chose a place where sandbar ran diag0nally across in midslream, giving them a landing and dividing the main stream into two shallow currents They carried material for an impro- vised bridge.
 This was about five o'clock in the morning and in the midst at that hour they got across the second nar- TOW channel 10 the west bank. The last ten feet the men waded across in water above their waists. In their first surprise rush they swept by four Italian machine gun batter ies, capturing the guns and driving the Italians back into the vallage of Fagare.
 Then Italians Came Back
 Here the real fight began as the Italians had now recovered from the surprise and they fought like de- mons. IL was hand-to-hand fight thru the streets of the town, with no place for artillery or machine guns and the Italians using bayonets, hand grenades, knives aid gelatine torpedoes. The Ausfrians held part of the town near the bank, with Italians on the land side. The Aus trians tried to throw a line around the town and succeeded in part of one side until the Italian batteries to the north got the range of the line outside the shelter of the streets
 Austrians are Routed.
 This line was the first to De de- moished and then the Italians on this side of town advanced cheer ing, hewing their way. The enemy held at first, then began to seek cover and finally broke as the Ital- ians pushed into the town back to the river Some plunged into the water and sought to get to the sand bar. All the machine guns were abandoned. Most of the enemy fell

They chose narrow channels and some of the Austrian oiiieers rode across on horseback they took a position near the town , cemetery ana opened on the Ital ans during the night with machine guns. The Austrians carried two search lights which they played on the Italian position, while the Ital- lans were without searchlights. sIt was only by the flashes of the Ats tran maclne guns that the Italians could direct their fire.
 At daylight. yesterday. the enemy still held his position at the ceme- tery, The situation began to look serious and for time it appeared as tho the Italians would have to fall back. But now the famous Bersae- lieri brigade was brought up fresh after it's heroic rear guard defense I0f the main army as it retired on the field. M
 The Italians Charge to Victory.
 The Italians charged shortly after dawn, their line moving straight up the hill to the cemetery. Against machine gun fire and guns on the bank the Italians moved with bay onets, erenades and torpedoes. It was one of those charges inspired by love of home and country which will live always and it was irresist- ible The enemy wavered and broke just as tho the Italian artillery on a nearby height got the range of the cemetery But the main fighting was bsnd-to-hand, with the enemy being pressed back steadily to the rivar where they were cut down. drowned, bayonetted or captured Ry 10 o'clock yesterday all had been swept away except few struggling groups; by noon not one of the en- emy's force was left on the western bank.
 Austrian Losses Were Heavy.
 In addition to some l,500 killed, the enemy lost l,500 prisoners. in- cluding two coIonels and some 30
 llicers. All the Austrian machine guns were captured and are now be- ing used by the Italians.
 The fury of the fighting is shown by the fact that the old Saga mill n the rivers bank was taken and ee-taken six times during the ebb and flow The mill is full of bullet holes but shows no evidence of shell fire, indicating that the fighting was entirely at close quarters.

NEW YORK. april 9.-This is the

| certainly reign supreme as the fad
of the moment and the shops and
waistlines of the fair are simply flood

they are beaded. For belt without

Some Of the beaded belts are fiat
anyway. These are the long fiat CIR
dies elaborately and solidly beaded
II gayly colored designs with firing
ed ends of beads that are worn with
the loose straight, Chemise gowns.
These are suggestive Of and indeed
many are fashioned by Indians-South
Central and our own North American
tribes. Indian rope girdles of beads
with beaded tassellated ends are also
popular.
For wear outside of the new loose
silk coats and wraps are the Oriental
and Royal girdles of metal links al
ternating with large beads. disks or
squares of imitation jade, crysephrase
and lapis lazuli or with canoes, Chi
nese coins or jet nail heads.
The more fantactic the color COM
binatiOn of these girdles, the more
elaborately chased and carved the
metal links, the more effective and
stunning they are. Almost all of
them finish with omnipresent tassel
in metal or beads.
Though she struggles to be free,

with these beadede chain belts and |
