With the Russian situation still OBJ
scured by reason of the facu that no
direct adVices are being received from
Fetrograd or Moscow. the Italian sit
uatiOn remains of transcendent in
torest in the news of the world war.
Everywhere along the battle front
ftom Lake Garda eastward and
thence scuthward along the Piave
river to the Adriatic sea the Italians
are holding the enemy in check eX-
copt in the hilly region In the vicinity
of the Asiago plateau, whore addi-
tional gains have been made by the
invaders. The new advances hy the
Teutonic allies, as observed on the
war maps do not indicate that points
OF extremely greIb strategic value
have been won. but rather that the
Italians on various sectors have given
ground before superior numbers and
at the same time have straishtened
out and lessened the length OF their
front.
Greatest Pressure In Hills.
In the hills north of the Venetian
plain, General Diaz, the new COM
nander-in- chief of the Italians, has
of Mont Tomatico. On the Asiago
plateau and thence eastward to where
the battle front meets the upper
reaches of the Piave river the Ger

are adding strength to their attacks,
doubtless hoping to drive thru the
highland country to the plains Of
Venetia before the expected arrival Of
British and French reinforcements

Italians evidently have been able to
reinforce their northern line suffi-
ciently to give battle to the enemy in
such strength as TO prevent a pre-

where undoubtedly il is the ambition
of the enemy to turn the flank of the
defenders and force a withdrawal of
their line still further westward
Piave Successfully Defended.
Along the Piave from the region OF
the Feitre to the Adriatic tho inva-
ders at numerous points have endeav-
ored to make new crossings OF the

oroached upon. while near the mouth
of the river at Grisolera the invaders
in the swampy lowlands are CON
stantlv under a vigorous shell and
rifle fire.
Varied reports still are coming
thru concerning the situation in Rus
sia, but out of the maze 1t has been
impossible to disentangle one state
ment that may be considered trust
worthy. One report has Petrograd in
flames and another has two thousand
persons killed in the streets Of Mos
COW during the fight between the
Kerensky and Bolsheviki factions.
Still another Is to the effect that a
coalition government has been formed
ln Moscow with members of the Boil
sheviki holding portfolios in It. Other
unconfirmed reports are to the offec,
that anarchy relgns in Kiev and other
Russian cities and that eXcesses
against the Jews are being committed.
