LONDON, Nov. 12.-The next day or
two will determine whether the Italians
will make stand on the Piaye River
or be forced to fall back to the Adige,

Venice and many other important
cities.
Vigorous Austro- German attempts to
press down across the Asiago Plateau

prisoners were taken in counter attacks
at one point. the Italian War Once

On the other hand, Berlin states that
Italian units retreating IN the upper
Piave Valley were cut off and 10000
captured. Both statements agree that
along the southeastern section OF the
line, where the opposing forces lace
each other for about thirty-fve miles
across the Piave, the situation IS un-
changed.
The Berlin supplementary report is.

1000 more Italians. These were taken

his greatest force east from the lower
Trentino, and south along the upper
Piave just east of the boundary morn
tain range. The Italian line here
makes a great bend northward. If the
Germans succeed in bringing the points
of their pincers together they will un-
doubtedly make further large captures;
Rome states that Italian artillery and
rife fire beat back attacks on Gallo,
Monte Longara, Hill 1874 and Maletta

Of this line did the infantry come to
