HEAVY LOSSES TO
AUSTRIANS IN DRIVE
FIGHTING ALONG THE PAVE
RIVER Is REPORTED AS
MOST BITTER.
ITALIANS HURL BACK HUNS

Rome.-Italian troops in conjunc
ton with their French and British al
lies, began a counter offensive against
the Austro-H Hungarian forces which
had launched an attack on the Italian
mountain front. The Italian and allied
troops, according to an announcement
made by the war office, were able tC
gain partial success and to rectify theiI
lines at several points along the front
With the Italian Army.-Austriar
troops which forced the Piave river
have been driven back. The fighting
along the river is most intense.
Nowhere else along the front of at
tack has the struggle been SO severe
as on the PiaYe line. One Of the most
brilliant Of the Italian actions was
the defense of the Monte Moschin sa-
lient protecting the important Brenta
position Here the Austrians suffered
heavy losses, and many Of their ma
chine guns were captured.
The prisoners are ragged and i'll fed,
Many OF them are understood youths.
The feeling Of the Italians is buoy
ant At Italian army headquarters sat
isfaction is felt over the situation on
every part of the front.
The severity of the fighting on
Monte Grappa may be understood from
the fact that the Italian artillery fired
10000 shells in twelve hours.
The enemy's bombardment was frus.
trated by the formidable fire from the
Italian artillery, which destroyed lines
and shelters and made full hits on
massed troops as well as drenched
his battle emplacements with gas.
When the enemy infantry advanced
into the front line zones they found
that resistance had been prepared for
by the Italian machine guns and had
to meet a counter-attack from the Ital-
ian supporting troops. This resulted
in the loss Of great part OF the adj
avntage he had gained, and he left
prisoners and machine guns in the
hands of the Italians.

Whether the enemy effort upon Mon.

The carefully rehearsed German attack

have been especially heavy in Elan

The attack was made along a front

had its northern extremity near La

q strong line Of shell crater positions
close to the British on the eastern
bank Of the La Bassee canal.
A limited objective Of 500 yards in

Holding this sector for the Germans
was the 18th reserve division, which
was among the first to violate Belgian
soil.
The attack was preceded by an eight
minute bombardment Of the front line
positions. At the same time British
gunners we're carrying out effective
counter battery shooting and the heavy
artillery was pounding the enemy.
As the British advanced the enemy
opened q heavy fire from every ma
chine gun nest along the line. The
Germans were shooting more or less
bllndly in the dark, which saved the
British many casualties. But it was
firing work to push ahead through the
barrage Of bullets sweeping waist high
across No Mans Land. The attacking
infantry finally reached the enemy's

USE 10000 SHOCK TROOPS
Assault Made On Front of About
Fourteen MlIes-.German I'm
able to Reach Rheims.

With the French Army in France
Large units Of German shock troops,
which had been concentrated on the
western side Of Rheims, between
Vrigny and Ormes, and which went
over to assault, were met with such
an awful fire from the French de-
tense that they were unable to make
the slightest progress. They suffered
such losses after trying time after
time to reach the French positions
that only a few Of the attackers were
able to return to their own lines.
When the Germans launched their
attack in full force on Rheims their
intention was TO deal a heavy counter
blow to compensate for their failure to
capture Compiegne. Forty thousand
troops participated in the assault
along the front, extending from Vrigny
plateau to Sillery, with orders to
carry the city at all costs They met
with dismal defeat.
AT every point they were repulsed
with heavy losses. In most gallant
manner the French troops prevented
the enemy from scoring even initial
success. The artillery preparation
lasted for several hours and was one
of the most terrific yet carried out.
High explosives from hundreds Of can
non intermingled with numerous poi
son gas shells.
To the east Of Rheims the Germans
at first made some advance, but were
soon thrown back to their original po-
sitions, and considerable number OF
kham were taken prisoners.
