mp to ASSaSSate Emperor Charles Of Ausr New Riots Break Gu
Austrian Drive
Appears Near
It's Final Phase

International News Service:
Despite reports that Austrian (and
possibly German) troops are being
massed for fresh assaults, the great
battle which sprang up with the
Austro- Hungarian offensive on the
Italian front one week ago today,
appears TO be nearing its final phase.
This is the Interpretation 10 be
gathered from the declaration OF
Premier Orlando, OF Italy, that the
gallant Italians and their brave
Franco British allies have gained
the mastery of their foes
However. strong Austrian pressure
continues along the front, especially
on the Piave river.
Unable to Make Headway
The Austrians have been unable
TO make any headway. on the con-
trary they have lost further ground
i'm the vital sector of Nervesa i'm
mediately southeast Of Montello
crest.
The gain OF the Italians at Ner-
vesa is a serious menace 10 the Aus
trian force that crossed the Piave
at Montello and gained a foothold
on the slopes. In fact, the whole OF
the Austro- Hungarian battle line on
the western bank Of the Piave is in
a critical position.
Montello is the keystone position
on the Italian front and is now the
crucial zone OF the fighting.
While they have been concen-
trating their greatest efforts on the
Piave. further Austrian assaults are
looked for i'm the mountains flank
ing the Asiago plateau in the north.
Nearly $1,000 Prisoners.
The number OF prisoners in the
hands OF the Italians has now reach
ed nearly $1,000.
New food riots are reported in
Vienna, accompanied by attacks
against munitions plants and these
are expected 70 have a certain effect
on the military position of the dual
monarchy.
Nothing Of Importance has taken
place on ary of the four battle fields
i'm France during the past - hours.
There we're minor activities. but the
actions were confined to small sur
prise attacks, raids and artillery
firing.
The Germans are evidently pre-
pairing for another blow i'm the west.
but il cannot be predicted where It
will fall.
