ITALIANS BEAT OFF
DRIVE OF AUSTRIANS.

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN NORTHERN ITALY, Mon=
day May 13.---Italian troops re-
pulsed with heavy loss desperate
enemy attempt last night to redeem
the loss OF Monte Corno. II is be-
lieyed that this was only the first
OF a series of efforts TO regain the
lost ground owing to the value of
the height which commands the ap-
proaches to the valley leading from
Trent to Roverto.
The fight last night was In the
darkness and was bloody hand to-
hand struggle over the rocky slopes
OF the mountain The Italian posi-
tions, however, were retained intact
Thus far the fighting around
Monte Corno has been OF local char
acter and not a part of any general
offensive, although the outposts
show increasing activity all along
the mountain front.

Dissenting Votes In Ballot

long fight in congress over the over

defeated. 213 to 81.
What opposition there was in the
house when the bill came into the
senate began TO crumble and today
il hardly was in evidence. Several
amendments to limit the powers
proposed for the president were
voted down with little debate.
Just what changes under the law
are contemplated never have been
indicated. when the president
asked Senator Overman to introduce
the bill he merely said he needed
authority to coordinate the activi-
ties of various branches Of the gov
ernment in the prosecution Of the
war. And during all the long de-
bate that preceded action in the
senate virtually no further informa-
ton developed. 10
