Of a mile. The BiSbee boys led the
race until about five miles from DoU-

One of the bad features OF the race
was the fact that some of the auto

who was running behind and threw
up such a dust that il was hard run

other one that Douglas had to fill up

AGAINST THE
HUN INVADER
Italians Clear the East Bank
of the Piava River of Aus
tro-German Troops in Late
Operations.
lRv Review Leased N'irel

Another reverse for the Teutonic
allied armies. 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
5the Piave river.
Here the enemy has been driven to
the eastern bank of the stream from
positions ne had held since the ltal-
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 far 10 the north. where
the hattie line runs westward from
the stream through the hill region.
The fighting for the Zenson bridge
head had been in progress since last
Thursday. the Italians keeping ener-
setically after the foe in order to re-
gain 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 10 recrOss the stream.
On Northern Front
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 Tombs and
on the Asiago plateau The enemy is
continuing his air raids over import
ant towns on the PLAIN. his latest at
tack having been directed against
VicelZa. BaSsano. Castel Franco and
Treviso. Thirteen persons were kill
ed and ~ others wounded. the ma
jority OF them civilians. Only small
material damage resulted from the
new raids.
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 the army of Crown Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria over the British
south OF Marccing in the Cambrai sec
tor.
Heavy Fighting Reported
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 authenticnature 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 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 Jeru-
salem. The Turks in the fighting OF
the last several days have lost more
than 1000 men killed and $50 made
prisoners.
