FRENCH FORCE FOE
TO TAKE DEFENSIVE
Victory Over TeutonS in Italy
Grows.
1,348 PRISONERS CAPTURED
Forty-Four Officers of High Rank
Made Captives in Monte Tomba
Reaion-Battle Was Short
and Sharp.

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Jan. 1.-The magnitude of the
achievement of the French troops on
the Monte Tomba region grows as full
details are received
In addition to 1.34S men, including
a Austrian officers, several of high
rank, made prisoner. and seven large
guns captured, the booty includes so
machine guns, several trench quick
tirers and great amount of miscel-
laneous war material.
But the chief significance of the
stroke is the change from defensive
to offensive tactics, and the stirring
enthusiasm and surenesS with which
the French delivered their initial blow
against the enemy lines.
Thus far the enemy has been on
the offensive with the Italians de
livering telling defensive blows.
French Turn Scale.
Now. however. the French have
turned the scale. and the enemy is
being attacked in this sector for the
first time since he reached the Piave.
The story of the fight shows thor
oughness of preparation and heroic
bravery in execution. The scene was
southeast of Monte TOmba, low,
SnOwless mountain just west of the
Pave, where the allied lines turn
into the mountain region.
Here the artillery preparation began
Saturday, but the main bombardment
began ut noon Sunday and increased
hourly until the enemy was deluged
by the French fire.
It was then that the crack French
infantry swung forward in steady
lines from Osteria di Monfenera and
Maranzine, a front of about two
miles, The heaviest forces were on
the right wing. Italian ana British
airmen at the same time attacked the
enemy from the air.
Fight Short and Sharp.
The struggle was comparatively
short and sharp, with most of the
fighting on the right wing. The ar
tillery had so damaged the enemy
positions that he was unable to make
any effective resistance. The French
losses were comparatively insignifi-
cant.
Austrian soldiers made up the en-
tire enemy force engaged which is
taken to indicated that the German
contingents are being moved farther
west, toward the Brenta river 1t
also has been established that no
forces are being moved away from
this front and that no new forces
are being brought here.
Three 8attalions In Attack.
French Army Headquarters in
Italy. Jan. 1.-THE attack Of French
troops in the Monte Tomba region was
executed by three battaions of picked
men. The artillery preparation. which
was intense, lasted for hours. and
then at 4:15 o'clock the French made
"A brilliant and impetuous charge.
The struggle was heaviest on the
French right wing. The attacking
troops swept forward steadily until
the enemy trenches were reached, a
great number Of their occupants be-
ing captured.
The success Of this first important
movement by ltalys allies arouses
the keenest satisfaction and is
notable tribute tn the dash and stead
mess of the French forces.
