Armies Now Lined Up on
Opposite Sides of River
on 45-Mile Front.
GERMANS MENACE
ON THE LEFT FLANK
Rome Indicates Successful
Resistance to Thrusts of
German Invaders.

Eagerly awaited aid for Italy's
hard-preSsed troops on the Flave
line has reached tile battle front,
and British batteries are there
ready to give support to check
the Teuton advance.
Along a forty-five-mile front of the
Piave river, in northwestern Italy,
the armies of the Austro-German IN
yaders and the Italian defenders are
lined up on opposite sides OF the
stream. !.
But although the Piave line on the
lower course of the river thus has
been successfully reached by the ltal-
ian forces in their retirement, they
are being subjected to newly de-
veloped menace on their left flank.
The Teutpnic command has finally
sprung it's expected drive on the west
ern edge of the Trentino.
Pressing south In the Sugana val
ley, the Austro-German troops have
forced their way as far as Asaigo,
Berlin announces, and after desperate
street fighting, have captured that
place.
Rome indicates successful Italian
resistance to thrusts in the Tesino
basfn at Brucon pass. The German
announcement, however, may indicate
the subsequent pushing back OF the
line in this sector, which is IN the
northern Sugana valley region.
The attack in the Asiago district
must be held d the Italians if their
Piave line is not to be turned and the
whole of northern Italy fall into the
hands of the invaders.
In tir~;-- >ffaasiva of 1916, the Aus
trians pushed down itno the Asiago
hills, but were ultimately checked
and afterward driven back near their
border. 1t is approximately eleven
miles from Asiago to the Italian
plains, the Austro-German objective,
and the hilly country is admirably
adapted to defense.
Farther west, In the Treintino. an
Austro-German attack was launched
in the Ledro valley, but was quickly
repulsed.
In Flanders the British attacked
north and northwest of Passchen-
daele this morning and at points
pushed forward half a mile in the
early fighting. The assault was on
limited front, about a mile and a
half.

cantonment at Petersburg for use as
rifle range.
When Adjutant General Mccain
was asked by the Journal correspond

Tracts similar to that leased at
Camp Lee, he said, will in all likeli-
