ITALY LAUNCHES
SURPRISE ATTACK
ON GERMAN LINES
Heavy Blow Falls on Asiago
Plateau in Dead of
Winter
BY associated Press

Washington, Jan. 29.-Italy has
furnished a military surprise by
launching an attack of apparently
considerable force on her mountain
front in midwinter. The blow comes
on the Asiago plateau, where the
Austro-G German invaders were halt
cd early in the winter in their of-
fort to push down TO the Italian
plains west of the Brenta river.
Berlin heralded the attack yes
terday in reporting the breaking out
of a violent artillery duel in the
Setti-Communi region-the Asiago
sector. Its force was reported to
have reached a climax at dawn on
Monday in the vicinity of Col Del
Rosso, which height stands about
midway between Asiago. and the
Brenta.
The supplementary German Off
cial report OF last night, which was
not received until to-day, announces
the opening of the assault in this
region, describing it as violent at
tack. There were no. accompany
ing details.
In the lack of more definite news
the probability suggests itself that
the Italian effort Is one somewhat
similar to that of the French a few
weeks ago east of the Brenta which
resulted in n penetration of the
Austro- German line for a consider
able distance and the subsequent
withdrawal of the enemy from al
rather extended area improving the
intent position notably, Thus the
Italians may now be endeavoring to
effect a rectification of their line
with view to making more difficult
any future attempt of the enemy to
advance.
Rome, Jan. 20. - Italian troops
made a heavy attack yesterday on
the northern mountain front and
broke into the enemy lines, the war
office reports. Reinforcements which
the enemy was hurrying down the
Nos and Campomulo valleys were
dispersed by the artilleries of the
Italians and their allies.
Twelve enemy airplanes were
brought down. The Italians held
mastery of the air everywhere.
The Italians took more than L.
500 prisoners. They stormed enemy
positions on the heights east of the
Asiago basin and broke through
at several points, resisting violent
counter -offensives.

Shortage of Fresh Meat
Expected to Develop

A telegram from Howard Heinz.
State Food Administrator, re-
ceived to-day by Donald McCor-
mick, local Food Administrators,
states that owing to the trans
portation difficulties, there may
be a shortage of fresh meat. The
message lays special emphasis on
the fact that wholesalers and re-
taiIers must distribute the pres
ent supplies of fresh meats,
equally among their customers.
There should be little or no in
crease in cost of the meat.
If this ruling is not enforced by
the dealers, their supplies of
meats will be cut off, Mr.. Nc
Cormick states.
