After Terrific Battle, Lasting
From Thursday West Bank
of Piave Is Cleared Of Enemy

.TEUTONS CONTINUE TO

Operations on Fronts in BEL

fined Almost Entirely to Re-

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRE1
Another reverse for the Teutonc al
lied army, following that effected by
the French troops in their initial
drive on the northern front in italy
has been brought about by the Ital-
ians in a sharp attack in the famous
Zenson loop on the lower reaches OF
the Piave river.
Here the enemy has been driven to
the eastern bank of the stream from
positions he had held since the Ital-
ians in their retrograde movement
from the Isonzo made their stand
along the western shore of the Piave.
Thus the entire right bank of the
Piave has been cleared of the invad
ers, except So far to the north, where
the stream through the hill region,
Bitter Fighting Occurs.
The fighting for the zenson bridge
head had been in progress since last
Thursday, the Italians keeping ener-
eetically after The foe in order to re-
eain the position, which always has
been considered menace TO Venice.
Heavy casualties were inflicted on the
enemy by the artillery and rifle fire
OF the Italians before he was forced to
Ietl0ss tne stream
on the northern front the infantry
again is idle for the moment, but the
big guns on both sides are keeping
up intensive duels in various sectors,
particularly around Monte Tomba and
on the Asago plateau. The enemy is
continuing his air raids over impor-
tant towns on the plain, his latest at
tack having been directed against vi
cenza, Bassano, Castelfranco and Tre-
vlso. Thirteen persons were killed
and forty-four others wounded, the
majority of them civilians. Only small
material damage resulted from the
new raids.
Little Fighting Elsewhere.
Likewise the operations on the
fronts in France and Belgium are be-
ing confined almost exclusively to
bombardments, although the German
war office claims a further gain OF
ground by Crown Prince Rupprecht
of Bavaria over the British south OF
Marcoing in the Cambria sector.
There are persistent reports that
heavy fighting is in progress between
Kaledines' Cossacks and Bolsheviki
troops in southwestern Russia and
that the casualties have been heavy
No details of an authentic nature have
yet come through but the reports say
the Bolsheviki have been defeated on
the southwestern front with numerous
losses of men and guns, but that they
have occupied the important town OF
Poltava.
Still further progress has been made
by the British troops operating
against the Turks in Palestine north
of Jerusalem. The Turks in the fight
ing Of the last several days have lost
more than 1000 men killed and $50
made prisoner.

Fire Starts Near Dawn

The fire started before dawn in the
old CRANKY theater on CRANKY street
and gained rapid headway as the fire

other nearby buildings in the block.
1t was brought under control late in
the day, but broke out anew early to-
night, leaped across CRANKY street
and levelled half the block there be-
