Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy, Wednesday. November 15-under the escort of a staff officer from head quarters the correspondent today made a tour along 30 miles of the Piave battle front, while terrific artillery fire was in progress on both banks of the river and the whole ordinarily peaceful valley was transformed into a blazing inferno.
 From a suitable observation point the view led across the~river to the positions occupied by Gen. Won Bellows German troops, who had occupied the town of Vidor, over which hung huge German balloon. Further along, from a castle commanding the heights of Aesola could be plainly seen the two opposing lines running along the east and west banks of the river, together with the Italian positions stretching back on the hills to Grappa and the Montello crest, and an enemy battery firing from the hills on the eastern side of the river.

of the Piave river farther down afforded a view of massive bridge with the two middle spans blown up and of the great pail of smoke hanging over Benson and the Island of Crave where the enemy had crossed the river but were still held back on the rivers edge by the fierce counter attacks of the Italians.
 All along the lower stretch of the river the bombardnlent was continuous and the whole countryside. stricken under the fire, was fleeing from the terrain within the range of the guns.
 The Italian lines were holding well at all points and everything indicated thor oughness of the concentration that had been effected by the army along the new lines.
 In the new trenches along the river bank and among the columns advancing along the roads the men displayed the best of spirits and evidenced their de- termination in the desperate struggle for the holding of this Piave line, which is now reaching it's climax.

The new advances by the Teutonic allies, as observed on the war maps do not indicate that points of extremeiy great strategic value have been Woh' but rather, that the Italians on various sectors have given ground before super ior numbers and at the same time have straiehtened out and lessened the length of their front

 ITALIANS REINFORCING LINE
 Notwithstanding the arduous retreat from the Isonzo westward, the Italians evidently have been able to reinforce their northern line. sufficiently to give battle to the enemy in such strength as to prevent pevipitate invasion of the lcwlands, where undoubtedly it Is the ambition of the enemy to turn the Hanks of the defenders and force q withdrawal of their line still farther westward.
 CANNOT CROSS RIVER
 Along the Piave from the region of Fsltre te. the Adriatic the invaders at numerous points have endeavored to make new crossings of the river, but everywhere they have been thwarted. Those who already are on the west bank of the river are being hard held to their original positions, the artillery and rifle fire of the Italians keeping them in check.
 < Near Benson. the positions of the ene- my gradually are being encroached upon while near the mouth of the river at Grisolera, the invaders in the swampy lowlands constantly are under a vigor- oous shell and rifle fire.
