(By Associated Press).

The Italians, following up their
successes on the Asiago plateau,
made another surprise attack
early yesterday and pushed their
lines out from Monte Di Val Bel
la to the head of the Telago val
ley.
Later in the day the Austrians
gathered their forces again and
made another effort to drive the
Italians from the Val Bella
height. They were unable, how
ever, even to reach the defensive
lines.
Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Thursday, Jan. 31.-(By the
Associated Prcss)-The splendid sue
cess gained by the Italian troops in
two days of fighting west Of the
Brenta river has been maintained at
all points and the area at newly oc-.
rapidly without further effort by the
enemy to regain his lost positions
AS the Italian brigades which took
part in the fighting reassembled. it
developed that their losses were COM
paratively small, the aggregate being
considerably less than the number of
prisoners taken from the enemy
But the enemy losses were extreme
ly heavy as is shown by the number
of dead left on the field and the re-
ports of prisoners. 1t is estimated
that the total enemy loss without
counting the prisoners taken by the
Italians was between 5000 and 5000.
Throughout the italian army the
troops have been stimulated by the
success in the Asiago area and the
italian triumph is taken to show the
really formidable and aggressive spirit
of the new forces. A considerable
part of the troops engaged were Of

The result of the action is having
an effect on the morale of the enemy,
according to reports of prisoners.
The Austrian winter campaign in the
mountains has stopped entirely as it
was concluded that the difficulties Of
snow and ice and the interruption of
roads and transport supplies had
made operations impossible.
Taken By Surprise.
Having accepted these conditions as
decisive against the winter offensive,
the Austrians were taken completely
by surprise when the Italians carried
out the operation which drove the
enemy back from the lines marking
his winter position.

Americans Quiet.


With the American Army in France.
Thursday, Jan. 31-(By the Associ-
ated Press. ss.)-Conditions were quiet
on the American sector all day to-
day because of the fog. which tonight
showed no sign of abating Beyond q
few shot from both sides at registered
targets there was little artillery firing.
There was virtually no infantry ac-
tivity.
Additional details Of yesterdays
raid show that only the heroism Of the
platoon in the trenches nearest the
listening post raided prevented the
enemy from entering the trenches
and. perhaps. capturing prisoners.
AS soon as the barrage fire lifted
the platoon came out of its dugouts
and stepped to the firing platforms.
Their rife fire held off superior
number of Germans who tried to ap-
proach. When the enemy saw that
the Americans were determined to
hold the position they withdrew into
the fog. Later a number Of bloody
enemy rifles and other equipment
were found beyond the American poe
