River Piave But
Little Known In
Italian History

WASHINGTON, d. c., July g.
The student will search IN vain

widely-used encyclopedias for any &C
count of the River Piave; 1t was OF
comparatively little importance either
commercially or historically until the
Austrian armies invaded the Venetian
plains and were held upon the banks,
or just beyond the banks of this
stream" says today's war geography
bulletin, issued by the National Geo.
graphic Society from its Washington
headquarters.
Future accounts of Italy, however,
might as well omit to mention the
Rubicon as to remain silent concern
ing this waterway which meanders
| down from the Carnic Alps and, after
a course of 125 miles, flows into the
Adriatic % miles northeast of Venice.
Throughout nearly four-f1fths OF
Its course the Piave uns down a pic
turesque valley with the famous Dolo-
mite peaks rising to the west and the
Venetian Alps to the east The Dolo-
mites were once chiefly famous for
their scenery n were visited every
summer by thousands of American
tourists. Now, however, such names
as Monte Antelao 10000 feet),
Monte Sorapiss (10,600 feet), Monte
Rochetta $4,000 feet), Monte Schiara
s,400 feet), Monte Serva $1,000 feet),
Monte Pizzon (7,s00 feet) Monte Pa

Montello (1,200 feet) are written into
the annals of Italy's heroic resistance
to the Huns. Ali these peaks are on
the west bank of the river and from
many Of them the Italians launched
their counter-attack which resulted in
disaster to the Austrians.
Below II Montello the Piave enters
the Venetian plain and the remaining
IS miles Of It's course lie through delta
land. The point at which 1t enters
the sea is the inconsequential port OF
Cortellazzo.
"Feltre, with $500 inhabitants, and
Belluno with a population of 1000,
are the principal towns on the banks
of this now historic stream.
Perhaps the hamlet OF Pieve di

by the Italians in chief affection
