Associated Press Summary

l '-'''oNie''Cu y.J i The Austro-German forces operat- ing against the Italians along the Tag liamento river from the region of the
 Carnic Alps southward to the Adriat- is sea are proving serious menace. The invaders of the Veretia have driy- 1 en their way across the river at Pin zano and are proceeding eastward. while to the north, on the Italian left
 wing. intensive operations are being
 carried out by the Teutonic allies in
 two maneuvers probably having as their objective the cutting off of the
 entire right wing of Cadorna's army. The Berlin war ortice says 6,0OO Italians were made, prisoners and that
 an additional number of guns also
 were taken.
 Enemy Crosses River. The Italian official communication
 make, only brief mention of the op- ! eration, merely asserting that the en- emy succeeded in bringing some of his forces to the right bank of the stream.
 There is no indication as yet wheth-
 CT it is the intention of General Ca dorna to endeavor to maintain the Ta.5liamento line, but it is not improb-
 able that his stand here is temper | ary one, while stations of greater
 strengths ere being, sprenared in the rear. Never since the retreat from the Isonzo front began. has there been
 any official statement concerning the
 spot chosen by Cadorna for turning about against the enemy, but some military observers have considered,. d,.
 that with his large losses in men guns during the retrOsrade movement, he would merely elect to stand along
 the Tagliamento and retard the en- cmy, until better arrangements, in.s cludi,ig reinfcrceme-ts in men and
 guns could be provided further back , westward.
 Both the Rome and Berlin war Of; fices gre silent as to the movement begun by the enemy in Trentino
 last Saturday, which it was believed indicated that the Germans and Aus tro-Hnngarians would attempt to push
 southward along the west bank of
 Lake Garda, thru B, escia and out into the plains between Milan and Yer
 nOa.
 In the first attempt to break the
 Italian front in this region the Teu-
 tons met with repulse and even lost
 men and prisoners.
 Continued BOmbardment. The British and French troops in Flanders continue to carry out suc-.
 cessfully raiding operations against i the Germans and to Lombard heavily the positions at various points with the Germans replying actively in the sectoc between Houtholst wood and
 the Comines-Ypres canal. Bombard-
 ment also predominates- on the south
 ern part of the front in France. @ Turks Defeated. Two additional defe9ts of the Otto
 man forces are recorded by the Britt
 ish in Southern Palestine and the
 Russians in the region of the Black sea coast. North of Beersheba the
 British are pressing on with the defi-
 mite object of the capture of the coast l city of Gaza. In their operations
 they lave taken 207 officers and 2,427
 prisoners. The Russians have driv- en the Turks from the first line trenches in the Black sea region and
 have advanced in some places to-
 the third line.
