London, Nov. 13.-Along the Piave
river from the billy 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-Hu
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
ore 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 70
treat from the Isonzo front.
EncircIing Moves Fail.
The Italians are holding the limo
along the Piave and also in the region
running westward through the billy
country from the vicinity of Feltre to
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 10000
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 west
bank of the Pave. 1t is considered
possible that the enemy may make an
attempt to press southwark from this
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 under
heavy losses.
Comparative Calm In West.
On the battle fronts in France and
Belgium comparative calm prevails, ox-
cept for the usual artillery activity
and raiding operations.
In Palestine the Turks who have
been pushed back on numerous sectors
BY the British forces under General
Allenby, now are preparing defensive
positions 20 miles southwest of Jeru-
salem, near Hebron. The British how.
ever, are using their mounted troops
and again have made some progress
toward Ell Tine. Scottish infaatry also
has attacked the enemy's right flank
successfully and captured a number
OF machine guns.
