ITALIANS HOLD
AUSTRIAN
ATTACK
LITTLE ARMY ON THE ALPS WAS
READY FOR BIG ATTACK

Although the situation along the
battle lines in northern Italy remains
somewhat obscure, it seems that the
Austrains have accomplished little at
the inception of their drive against
the Italian and Allied armies
From the lower Piave River north
wardcomes encouraging reports that
the enemy is being checked, and at
some points hurled back across the
stream From the Piave to Brenta,
where the Teutons advanced through
mountain ravines in their attempt to
break through, the situation seems
we'll in hand.
1t now appears that the Austrians
have made three successful attempts
to cross the Piave. At least some of
these have been driven back across
the river, while the others are unable
to develop any advantage from their
early success.

AMERICAN FIRE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 17.-In their attack
on Xivray on the Toul sector today
the Germans hoped to enter the viii
lage and carry off large number of
prisoners the alartnes of the Ameri-
can artillery observers completely
overturned the plan.
Examination of the Germans cap
tured in the fight disclosed that the
enemy had planned the raid a week
in advance and that the 600 special
troops who participated were rehears-
ed behind the German lines.
American observers who saw mum
Der of Germans creeping about No
Man'slL Land signaled for barrage, and
before the enemy barrage could get
started, they had inflicted heavy cas-
Ialties and completely broke up the
raid. Eight prisoners, including a
lieutenant, remained in American
hands.
This afternoon the American artil-
lery opened a retalitory fire against
the area behind the German lines
while the Germans, apparently anger
ed by the failure of the raid, bombed
the villages as far as eight miles be

TAKE ON
HOPEFUL
VIEW
BELIEVE AUSTRIAN DRIVE WILL
RESULT IN FAILURE.

LONDON, June 1.-THE outcome
of the Austrian offensive is viewed
hopefully, even confidently by news
papers here. The view is based on the
staunch resistance and the Allied de-
fensive and the failure of the enemy
to make anything like big success
in the initial advance.
1t is admitted that some days must
pass before the results of the fighting
on such great scale can be correctly
Judged, but the conviction is firmly
expressed that it will end in failure
for the enemy.
The daily mail and others predict
that the Austrian failure will have ser
tous internal effect as Germany's hand
Is generally seen behind the move. The
Daily news believes it is an offensive
imposed by Germany on her ally which
has ceased to have any part in the
struggle, and which is sinking into a
condition of internal disintergration
and despair

ROME, June 1.-THE situation on
the Italian front in its entirety seems
very reassuring, says semiofficial
note issued tonight. 1t is added the
great battle which started Saturday
has but begun.
Although having the strength of
sixty divisions, the enemy attacking
forces have not succeeded in passing
the Italian advanced area at any point.
The enemy is concentrating his
most powerful fierce attacks astride
the Brenta across the Piave.
