Italian Army Fights
With ReneweG Vigor

Italian Army Headquarters, We'd
nesday, Nov. IA dozen bridges
have been blown up on the Livenza
river to arrest and delay as much as
possible the advance of the Aus
tro-Germans toward the Piave river.
The Liverza Is a smaller river than
the Tagliamento and offers FEWER
difficulties to the invading army to
cross it, but the retiring Italian army
is now better organized than 1t was
on the banks of the Tagliamento and
is capable of greater resistance.
Indeed, some of the Italian con-
tingents are animated by such ar
dor to fight the enemy that they are
losing contact with the main body
and risk being surrounded by the
Austro- Germans who have advanced
either higher or lower on the river
than the position occupied by the
Italians.
Meanwhile the Italian retreat has
greatly shortened the fighting line,
reducing it to scarcely thirty miles
in length. This favors the concen-
tration of Italian forces for defense.
