headquarters today.
Repeatedly enemy attempts to
take Mount Corona were broken up

I'VE succeeded in eliminating the
western San Dona salient.
Several enemy divisions attacked
Zenson but were checked"
Stout Italian resistance has again
stopped the Austrians in their efforts
to extend their. front on the Monticello
plateau. the keystone of the Italian
defense on the Piave river.
Official announcement is made at
Rome that the Austrians were defeat
ed in drive yesterday on the north
eastern section of the plateau and that
only on the south were they able to
make any progress whatever. The
enemy was able to cross the Monte
belluna-Susgana railway at several
points near Nervesa station but even
at this point was promptly stopped.
Net Result Insignificant
Nervesa IS a village on the west
southeastern poiEt of the MonteIlo
plateau. The railroad mentioned is
not shown on military maps and prob
ably has been built quite recently. On
the north and west the plateau slopes
up steeply to wooded heights, while on
eAS Soplh are lOWldnQS similar to those
further down, where the Austrians
have been checked by the Italian de-
fense. As the Austrians have for some
days held positions near Nervesa, the
net result of their last attack is an
parently insignificant.
American Aviators There.
American aviators are now actively
engaged on the Piave front. Ii was
announced early iE the week that thew
were on their way to the battle area
and 1t is reported they have featured
their arrival by participating in a
bombing expedition against the
bridges the Austriahs have flung
across the river. They were success
ful in damaging a bridge and their
work satisfied the commander of the
Itaiian aerial forces under whom they
are fighting.
Ralding operations are reported or

nave improved their positions on the

What Cur7on Said.
Earl Curzon. of Kedleston, in his
speech last night, replying on behalf
of the government to criticism of the
governments Irish policy, said the
revelation of the Sim Fem conspiracy
made it impossible for the government
to pursue its home rule policy for the
time being.
Earl Curzon said the cabinet be-
lieved it better to get $4,000 volun-
teers than to secure q large number
at the cost, perhaps. of civil war. The
promise of land, he continued, was not
a bride, but was the same policy being
pursued in England, under the small
