In two days of fighting Vienna
claims the capture of 10000 prisoners

back toward the Adige.
On the front in France the fighting
activity has been limited to local Ger

the American lines at Xivray, east OF

broke up the enemy attack with heavy
losses and only a small force reached
Xivray where it was wiped out by the
Americans. An attempt to raid the
new American sector in Alsace Sun

The Lys salient in Flanders is being
