1t is known that the Germans have
expected liaison attack by American
and French troops against the German
left wing and have been fearful that
the Allied troops would break through,
as they have done in other attacks
during the last few months.
Their anxiety was shown in the fol
lowing declaration printed by the
"Frankfort Gazette" in recent issue ::
"The situation has become notice
ably difficult 1t is most tense on our
left wing from the strategic as we'll
as the tactical point of view. One
must regard with all seriousness the
the region of Vouziers, because the
Entente has succeeded in obtaining
considerable advantages in the centre
between the Scheldt and the Cambria
Canal in their formidable attempts to
pierce our line"
Early to-day American patrols es-
tablished that the Bellejoyeuse farm,
northeast of Grandpre, had been de-
serted by the enemy. Soon both the
Germans and the Americans began
to shell it violently Later patrols
again established that the farm had
been deserted, but that it was we'll

VIENNA (Oct. 2O.-On the
plateau Of the Setti Communi the
enemy yesterday again undertook a
series Of strong partial thrusts,
which were all repulsed. Further st-
tempts to attack failed under our
defensive fire and the enemy suf-
fered heavy losses. In the noun
tains east of the Brenta the battle
continued with undiminished in
tensity and the fight ragged the whole
day. In the region OF Col Caprile
the enemy suffered through our
counter attacks the complete loss of
the temporary advantage gained by
him.

Monte Asolone by storm. Our bat
talions launched an attack against
Monte Pertica and succeeded during
the evening in getting as far as the
foot Of Auppe { y and during the
night this also fell into our hands.
Repeated attempts of the Italians to
extend their lines in the region of
Fontana Secca were in vain. Also on
the slopes Of Monte Spinucci the stub

pared the same fate for the enemy
attacks as on preceding occasions.
