Associated Press Summary.)


 Apparently the peril of the Italian troops guarding the Piave line and the hill country in the northern part of Italy against the Teutonic allies is at an end. Large numbers of British and French endorsements, infantry and artillery, at last have arrived upon the scene. Days of anxious waiting, in which the Italians have borne the brunt of terrific fighting on both fronts and kept back the enemy from further invasion of the Venetian plains, are over.

 New Troops Eager for Fray.
 For eight days the allied reinforce mants marched to the rescue, bring ing along with them large numbers of guns and huge supply trains. All the troops are declared to be in fine fet- tie. and eager to test their strength against the enemy. Just where the British and French forces will be thrown into the fray has not been made known, but doubtless large num- bers of them will be used to strengths en the Italian front on the north. from Lake Gorda eastward to the Piave river. where the Austro-Gernan have been making their strongest efforts to pierce the Italian line.
