 All along the Piave a furious arr tillery action is in progress, and Ital- ian airplanes again have come into, the fray and are doing notable work in dropping bombs on the enemy line. To the south. near the mouth of the Piave, in the region known as the Holland of Italy, Italian engineers have opened the dykes against the. ens emy forces, which crossed the stream at Grisolera, who possibly have been entrapped by the thrush of the water. The inundation, at all events, will make harder the task of the enemy in bringing up guns with which to shell Venice from the northwest.
