AUSTRO-GERMAN ADVANCE
IBy Associattd prcss l

ALLAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, November lo-
The Italians arc holding the Austro-
German advance on the Pavc line.
Early reports from the front to-day
were favorable,
Heavy shelling is in progress all
along the new front.
The Italians are intrenchcd back OF
the west bank OF the Piave River, and
the Austro-tierman forces now are
taking the place Of the advanced guard
on the east bank. The strip of water
between the opposing lines is about
half mile, widening at some points
TO q mile.
An observer just back from tour
along the line told the correspondent
that the cannonade had become con-
tinuous. The Austrans are using five
inch guns. not yet having brought up
many Of their heaviest pieces. The
enemy is turning his fire against the
high campanilc bell towers Of small
villages frinsinG the western bank to
prevent the Italian artillery from using
them as observation posts The Italian
artillery rcpiy is spirited from con-
siderable number of guns that they
succeeded in bringing back from the
old front
The battle front has two main sec
tors. The lower extends from Feltrc
To the sea. and tho upper from Fcltre
westward. The Vidor bridge, where
the last italian rear guards crossed the
FiaNc, is halfway down the lower
sector. Near Fcltrc the river turns
into the mountains. with valley and
railway on tho west bank.
The enemy is on tho west bank in
TINS mountain region. and may attempt
10 come down the valley and along the
railway. The Italians have no advan-
taSc OF river defense at this point.

haFins been unable as yet to bring
MS heavier pieces into action. The
guns OF the Italians consist in consid-
eraoie numbers OF those they were able
TO bring back with them during tho
retreat from the Isonzo front.
The Italians are stuutly holding ths
line along the Piave. and also in tho
region running westward through the
hiily country from the vicinity of Eel
tre TO the Settccomuni. Several at
temp's made By the enemy to pierce
the northern front and cncircle the
Italian left wing have failed
The Berlin oficitl communication
asserts that on the upper Piave, 10000
Italians have been cut off and forced
TO surrender, and also that the Teu-
tonic allies have pressed southwest
ward from Bclluno and now are stand
ing before the town Of Feltre, which
is on the west bank of the Piave 1t
is considered possible that the enemy
may make an attempt to press south
ward from this region along the val
ley and the railroad. but the Italians
here arc in;rcnched in strong positions
which apparently cannot be taken cx-
ccpt under heavy losses.
On the battle fronts in France and

except for the usual artillery activity
and raiding operations.
In Palestine. the Turks who have
been pushed baci: on numerous sectors
by the British forces under General
Alcnby, now arc preparing defensive
positions twenty miles southwest of
Jerusalem, near Hebron. The British
arc using their. mounted troops. and
again have made some progress toward
Ell Tine. Scottish infantry also has at

ccssfuliy and captured a number Of

Gas masks are beine worn by the
American troops in tho trenches in

ing gas shells against them. Both the
Americans and the Germans are using
considerable quantities OF shra pnel

CHINA PROTESTS AGAINST
j. S.-JAPAN AGREEMENT
Objects to Any Such Action Affecting
Its Interests Without Reference
TO Wishes OF People.

Both Washington and Tokyo Expect
ell to Make Declarations of Alb
sence of Sinister Designs, but
There Will he No Exchange.
DOCUMENT FORMALLY FILED
BY Associated ryess.l

w y : II y q Z - ~ November 12.--
Formal protest against tho agreement
between the United States and Japan
regarding China was lodged at the
state Department to-day by Or. *.
Wellington HOO. the Chinese minister.
on instructions from his government.
The text OF the document left by the
minister was not made public, but X is
understood that China objects to any
such action affecting its interests with
out reference to the wishes OF the Chi
nese people themselves. News that 4
similar protest had been filed At Tokyo
reached here unoticially yesterday.
1t is probable that while the State
Department and the Japanese Foreign
Office will respond at an carly date
with explanations ..n6 declarations OF
the absence or any sinister designs
upon China. there will he no extended
diplomatic exchanges on the subject of
the protests.
Behind the Chinese objection TO the
manner in which the .Amcrican-Japa-
ncsc understanding was negotiated is
the view that il is an unjust and dan
strous theory that any nation has A
right TO assert claim to special in
terests in another country without tho
laitcr's consent.
