PRESSING BACK IN
FIERCE FIGHTING
Fifteen Thousand Prisoners
Captured - Austrian Re-
sistapce Very Stubborn.
(By the associated Press)

With the Italian Armies
Along the Piave, Oct. 28.-Fif-
teen thousand prisoners had
been taken by the British, Italian
and French up to a late hour in
their advance across the Piave,
which for the third time in one
year is the scene of a desperate
battle. This time the tables are
turned and the Austrians are
steadily being pressed back from
the eastern bank of the river.
The battle now has been going
on for five days and has been
marked by desperate resistance
from the Austrians. They have
directed their artillery fire
against pontoon bridges thrown
across the Piave and their bomb
ing planes have caused trouble
for the Allies.
The Allies not only have had to
battle with the swift river current,
but also to contend with the renew
al of pontoon and foot bridges dam
aged by the Austrians. Once across
the river the Allies have to over
come the enemy trench positions and
machine-gun positions.
Soldiers Mail Stopped.
Austrians prisoners declare that
they know nothing of the political
situation at home and the efforts of
their government to arrange for an
armistice. The Austrian army post
Office is said to have stopped the de-
livery of mail some time ago.
The British, French and Italian
soldiers are in the best of spirits
and eagsE to continue, the advance.

NEWS HELD IMPORTANT.


Washington, Oct. 29.-American
troops are on the verge Of activity in
the great war on the third major
front. This was the information
given here today of news from the
Italian front that the Austrians are
standing in reserve behind the Brit
ish and Italians, now driving across
the Piave river.
The news is considered, important
here not because of the size of the
American contingent in Italy or the
direct effect it may have on the bat
tie, but because it indicates that the
Italian drive is definite part Of an
offensive that is rapidly bringing COM
plete defeat to the Central Powers.
It has a significant meaning to on
cials here since Austria is now plead
ing for an immediate armistice.
So far as the official announce
ments show, there are but two regi-
ments of infantry and necessary aux
iilary troops in the American force
in Italy. These units and any others
that may have been sent probably
will operate as part of one Of the
Italian or British organizations, when
the time comes to throw in the re-
serves. The same practice was fol-
lowedIin in France where two Italian di-
visions have been employed at vari-
GUS times ON the front as units of the
French army corps.
The sending of American troops to
Italy was not with the idea of send
ing military strength, but to demon
strate unity of command and pur:-
pose on all fronts. For that reason
the force detached by General PERISH
ing for this expedition is believed to
not to exceed a brigade of infantry
at most The artillery support con-
tributed by the Allies to the Italian
front is largely British. Some Amer
ican air units are in the Italian army
and participated in the work at the
front.

ANOTHER GERMAN :.
NOTE RECEIVED
in WASHINGTON
President Working On Reply
to Austrian Effort to Secure
an Armistice.
(By the associated Press,

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, Oct. 3O.-Another
note from Germany reached Wash
ington today. 1t is a supplement to
the last communication saying an ar
mistice and peace terms were await
ed by reciting in detail the govern
mental changes which have taken
place, giving evidence that the kaiser
has been deprived of his power of
making war and negotiating for
peace.
Frederick Oderlin, Swiss charge,
received the German note and ap-
peared at the state department short
ly before noon to deliver it.
This time the Germans do not ad-
dress President Wilson personally,
but send the information for the
American government, apparently
recognizing that the state of person
al appeals has passed with the trans
mission of the pleas to the Allies.
/ 1t reiterates that the actual con-
troll and responsibility of the German
government. has been transferred to
the reichstag and describes the neces-
sary constitutional changes.
The note probably will be forward
ed Immediately to Paris, where the
supreme war council already is re-
ported to have formulated terms upon
which the United States and the AL
lies might permit a cessation Of hos
tilities.
AS word Of the new German note
came It was learned that President
Wilson was working today on the re-
ply to the last note from Vienna, the
Austrian government having accept
ed all points and asked for an ar
mistice and peace negotiations.
The reply, which will probably be
made public before might, is expected
to inform the authorities In Vienna
that on the basis of acceptance of all
the points, including actual iide-
lpendence and not mere autonomy for
subject nationalities,- their request
has been referred to the nations with
which the United States is associat-
ed. st~.s 5.
The armistice program, said to
have been formulated by the supreme
war council, had not been reported on
early today by the American repre-
sentative. The government is known
to favor terms equally drastic as
those described in the press dispatch
es as agreed upon at Versailles.
Secretary Lansing had not received
today the note reported to be COM
ing from Count julius Andrassy, the
Austrian foreign minister, asking
him to intervene with President Will
son to hasten an armistice and peace
discussions. It is assumed that this
unusual procedure was adopted to
give the impression at home of the
desire of the government to bring
immediate peace. Another communi-
cation to the president was not in or
der, no reply having been received
from the last.
1t was stated later that the new
communication made no change in
the situation. The next step is ex-
pected to be an announcement from
one or all Of the allied capitals of
armistice terms.
