This IS line from an Italian news

.ty and peril WHEN the Austrians
were laundering almost at the city's

might be turned to ruins by enemy

The children OF Venice were in dire

rush ii TO the sorcly bcset city. In
few days the families which had de-
serted the city and turned refugees re-
turned TO their homes, for the Austro-
German armies were held along the
