GREAT EFFORT TO
cur DIAz FRONT.
ESsIted BY AustGGermsR Invaders Of North
sTn Italy, Who Seek to OutfIaHk
Line Protecting Venice.

Berlin, Nov. 13.-British Admiral
ityity, per Wireless Press. )-Fonza-
so and Mont Longara have been cap
tured by the Austro- German troops
invading northern Italy, says the of
fetal statement issued today by the
German war office.
The text of the statement reads
italian Front-In the Cetti Com
mum we wrested Mont Longara from
the Italians.
TROOPS advancing in the noun
tains between the Sugana and the
Cisman valleys took by storm the
Leone work on the Casino di Campo
and the armored fort on the Casino
di Lena Fonzaso is in our possession.
"On the lower Pave there has
been increase in the artillery fire"
Powerful efforts are being exert
ed by the Austro-German invaders
of northern Italy to pierce the Ital-
ian front in the eastern Trentino and,
by breaking forward to the plains
from Seguna valley, outflank the
Italian line on the lower Pave, pro-
tecting Venice.
Berlin's official report today
claims some successes for the leu
tonic armies in this attempt. They
took Mont Longara, northeast of
Asiago, and further to the northeast
made Roadway between the Sugana
and Cismore valleys, storming defen-
sive works in this area.
The fighting here obviously is of
a desperate nature and the Italian
forces have shown themselves in a
mood of determined resistance. In
the Asiago area last Saturday, for
instance, two peaks in the same de-
fensive zone as Mont Longara were
captured by the invaders, but after
wards were retaken by the Italians
in resolute counter attacks.
