ITALIANS HOLDING
 THE|RL|NE IN SPITE
 TERRIFIC ATTACKS

New York, December 20,-From cables received from the war fronts the Asso- ciated Press makes the following sum mary of the news:
 Hard fighting continues between the Italians and the Austro-German be- tween the Brenta and Piave rivers in northern Italy, but apparently the ltal- ians have been holding their own since the enemy thrust on Tuesday resulted in the capture of positions around Monte Asolone. The Italians. according to the Berlin official communication, have delivered fierce counter attacks against the sectors in this region in the hands of the Teutons, but have been repulsed, while the Rome war office says that several attempts by the en- emy to advance their lines on the Tas- son-Col Del Orso front and to cross the piave river northeast of Venice were frustrated.
 Two enemy submarines have been sunk by French torpedo boat destroyers off the southern coast of Italy.

MORE LIGHT THROWN
 .ON GERMAN PLAN ID EMBRO|L SOUTH
 AND NORTH AMERICA Messages From Kaiser's Minister to Argentina
 Made Public
THESE SHOW TO WHAT LENGTHS HUNS WOULD GO IN MAD COURSE It Is Expected That Despised Argentina Will Now Break Relations With
 Germany

Washington, December 20. Through a long series of telegrams exchanged be- tween the notorious Count Luxburg, former German charge in Argentina, and the Berlin foreign office, the state department tonight disclosed further facts about German diplomatic trickery and at the same time shed light upon some hitherto un- explained activities of cer- 1 tain Latin-American states Imen.
 Luxburg, in one of his messages dated August 1, reported that Presi- dent Irigoyen of Argentina at last had made up his mind to conclude a |secret agreement with Chile and Bo- Ilivia for protection against North America "before the conference idea lis taken up again" The conference Idea" is assumed to have been the plan for Latin-American neutrality lconference, strongly supported by
 President Carranza of Mexico and
 much discussed in some of the South American countries, while the pro-
 posed secret agreement may explain reports that have come from Buenos
 Aires recently of President Irigoyen's
 proposals for league of South Amer iican nations.
 | In Latin-American diplomatic l quarters here it Is regarded as 1 certain that the disclosures will l result very quickly in an Argen- 1 tine declaration of war against | Germany. Congress and n major l ity of the people favored this step | when the American government
 made public the .'spurlos yer
 senkt' tsink without trace) messages of Luxburg, and it is believed that the Presidents op- position now will he swept away, l if it Is not withdrawn.
