REUTERS DESCRIPTION

London, June 16.-The opening of the latest Austrian offensive in Italy is described by Reuters correspondent with the British army in Italy. The correspondents dispatch under date of Saturday afternoon follows:
 '.The Austrans opened a heavy bonn bardment at o'clock this morning and attacked the British positions on the Asiago plateau at half past seven with a division composed of Austro-G German and Bosnian troops. The enemy reached our front lines, but made very little progress. They were repulsed on the right completely. but gained few hundred yards near the left of our cen ter.
 Our line, following a shell-like de- pression in which is the town of Asiago, is irregular in outline and thickly wooded in places. Flat as it looks from our positions. the country is full of hidden folds in the ground and lends itself rather easily to attack by small. isolated attachments.
 "The morning of the attack was more than usually misty and the bulk of the enemy troops approached along the line of a railway running from Asiago to the little village of Cesunt. which fol- lows marked depression in the ground. In accordance with recent Ger man methods, the attacking troops were rushed up during the night from Val Sugna by motor transport Heavy as was the preliminary bombardment. gas shells were only sparingly used against our troops The attack on the British formed only part of the Aus trian plan."

Debs Praises I. w. w. and Bolsheviki and Says Allies
 Are Fighting for Plunder

Canton. O., June 16-Eugene V. Debs, three times socialist candidate for the presidency of the United States, ad- dressed the closing session of a three day convention of the socialists of Ohio here today. Emphatically denying that he had repudiated the party's St. Louis platform, which pledges opposition to conscription and Liberty Bonds, Debs is quoted as declaring the socialists must stand more firmly than ever for their principles.
 Debs. after paying tribute to the so- cialists who have gone to jail for the sake of their principles, praised I. w. as comrades and is said to have charged that the purposes of the allies in the war are the same as those of the cen tral powers-plunder.
 A crisis in America, similar to that which placed the 5olsheviki in power. was predicted by Debs.
 During Debs address federal opera t;ves seized and held for investigation 55 young socialists who could not show draft classification cards.
 Cleveland, O., June 15.-United States District Attorney Wertz said tonight that if Eugene V. Debs is. correctly reported as declaring at today's socialist conven- tion in Canton that the aim of the allies in this war is plunder, he will bring the matter before the federal grand jury here tomorrow for violation of the espionage act.

 The nature of the warfare in these foothills of the Alps Is best shown by the fact that the Germans Friday morning attempted a raid which was easily repulsed and in which only one of our men is missing.

At day break the next morning the Americans found themselves gazing out over the wide valleys to the blue mountain ridges opposite where thin dark line revealed the enemy trenches nearly mile away
 At some points in this sector the trench lines run in a zig-zag course down the mountain side into valley where the barbed wire entang1eme,,ts are so close together that the Amer jeans could shout to the Germans if they felt so inclined. Along the larger part of the front the American in- fantry perched upon one ridge gazed across at the German infantrv on .

Austria s Grand Offensive
 in Italy Breaking Down
tContinucd from Page one)

any cost" is the word that has been passed to the Italian troops as the Austrian offensive appears to develop all along the line of 117 miles with the use of gas and special liquid bombs and every other means of attack to weaken the defensess
 The long comparative silence by the Austrians was broken precisely at 3:05 nonade. the sounds of which reached the cities of Verona. Vicenza and Venice, all long distances from the front.
 While the exact geographic object ives of the Austrians as yet are con jectural it seems evident that their earliest attack was heaviest against the position, the upper Brenta river valley, in the Val Sugana region, where the Brenta flows toward Bassano. It is considered possible that Austria Is following Field Marshal Conrad Won Roetzendorf's old plan of striking at the Italian plains through Trentino dis trict. of which the first classic move consists in obtaining possession If Valstagna. Monte Tomba and Monte Grappa, then following the Brenta river to the plains and then attacking with three columns westerly along the valleys of the rivers Adigo and Astico and also on the Asiago plateau.
 Summing up the situation. it seems to be renewal of the great battle for Italy's Alps which was left off last November, with the keys to the might fest fortresses of Europe held by the Italians, who have spent the entire winter fortifying with extraordinary care Val Stagna, Monte Grappa, Monte Tomba and other positions

 Deserters and prisoners captured during the last few days all possessed notification that the offensive was set for Saturday
 Three Australian airplanes were brought down over the Piave today by one Italian flier.
