Associated Press Summary.)
 With the opossing armies lined up
 along 30 mile reach of the Piave river, in it's lower course, and in fight | ing touch with each other on wide front, stretching westward thru the hills to the north of the Venetian plains, a real test of strength seems in prospect for the first time since the Italian armies besaa~. thsir retreat l from the Isonzo. Hitherto the main force of the Austro- German thrust into Italy has been from the northeast with their left standing along the east bank of the lower Piave, however, the Teu- tonic armies apparently have begun to exert their chief pressure with their right wing, from the north, along the line bending sharply from Suseguana, | 30 miles from the Adriatic, on the Piave. Germans Pressing on. Austro-H Hungarian forces, Berlin an- nounced, are pressing forward in the Sugana valley, as we'll as in the upper Piave
 The Trentino region virtually begins at the Sugana, thus there is being. de- veloped in this district the, predicted flanking attack on the Italian left, recognized as probably the most serious threat which the Teutonic com mand could bring to bear. Upon the successful resistance to this drive, dE- pends the stability of the whole Italian front to the east, as well as continued possession of Venice and the remains of the northeastern neck of Italy. Just what point the Italians have chosen for resistance to the flanking opera tion is not apparent, but if it runs north of Asiago it is apparent that the invading armies already have gained la decided advantage, for BerlinSreports the capture of Asiago after hard fight :, ing. It is nearly 12 miles from Asiago to the Venetian plains, the German Qh- { jective, with the route running thfli a hilly country. K ss,sy x: :
