 Duel

Italy's armies are making heroic and So far successful stand against the Austro-G German masses thrown against them in desperate attacks along the line of the Piave river and in the mountainous region from the Piave westward to the edge of the Trentino district. The river line has not been preached at any point, while the thrust of the Austrians southward from the hills in an attempt to drive a wedge through to the plains behind the Piave line is making slow progress. It is now more than a week since the Italians, retreating from the Tag liamento, crossed to the west bank or the Piave and took up their defensive positions behind it. The German con- mand lost 10 time in attempting to force a passage of the stream, and the enemy efforts were pressed on scale of increasing intensity during all last week.
 The Italian resistance however, seems to be growing stronger rather than otherwise. The latest Austro- German attempts to gain permanent hold on the westerly side of the Piave were not only brilliantly frustrated but the enemy columns were badly cut up and nearly one thusand Teutons were taken prisoner.
 These attacks on the river line were delivered just above the Benson Loup, where the invaders first effected crossing and were hemmed in from the start. They are steadily being driven here into an increasingly restricted zone, the Rome war office now an nounces. Near the Adriatic the water barrier to any Austro-German ad- vance toward Venice, raised by the op- ening of the flood gates into the swampy region, is being reinforced by the work of the army artillery and the guns of Italian warships on the Ad- riatie.
 The Italian line has yielded slightly in the hills east of the Brenta where the capture of Monte Prassolan by Austro- Hungarian troops is announced by Berlin. No further advances for the attacking forces in the mountain region northeast of Asiago are claim ed.
 British Improve Line.
 Military operations in the other war theatres were on a comparatively small scale. The most important move was made in Flanders by the British who pushed further north on the Goe- berg spur, northwest of Passchendaele, capturing a strongly fortified redoubt kLown as Vocation farm and so i'm proving their positions in thfs sector as to make the present line across Passchendaele ridge easier to hold.
 Turks Still Retreat
 In Palestine the British forces, which recently have made no spectac- ular an advance up the Mediterranean coast to the neighborhood of Jaffa are still moving forward, but apparently feeling their way with some caution. The Turks are giving signs of making a stand a few miles north of Jaffa, where they are reported attempting to prepare an entrenched position.
 Big Guns Roar On American Front
 Tn the sector of the French front held by the American troops there has been increased activity by the artillery incidental to which there has been ad- ditions 10 the American casualty list, some of which occurred when Ger man shell hit an American gun. The American batteries have been energetic in their reply, giving the Germans bet ter than they sent, in the opinion of observers.
 On the naval side of the war there is an interesting development in the North Sea. where British light forces operating in Helgoland Eight encoun- tered and engaged German light cruis- CTS on Saturday morning. The British admiralty reported, in an early state ment that the Germans made off at high speed with the British vessels in pursuit.
 Gets Worse and Worse In Russia.
 From Russia the latest dispatches report Premier Kerensky in flight, his whereabouts unkonwn in Petrograd, af- ter having been defeated by Boleshe- wiki and deserted by the greater part of his own officers and men. One re-
