OVERWHELMING ALLIED ATTACK
ON AUSTRIArlS TO BE EXPECTED

TRANS retreating steadily to save
themselves in the Piave district, where
l50 guns and thousand additional
prisoners were captured today. Monte
Grappa has been attacked violently by
the enemy, however, but the action
resulted in his repulse.
King Victor Emmanuel visited the re-
conquered territory today. The CORE
spondent saw him helping to straighten
out traffic on crowded road over which
Italian troops and thousands of Austrian
prisoners were passing. The Italians
cheered the king, who smiled and shook
hands with the Italian soldier nearest
him.
More Than 10000 Prisoners.
More than 10000 prisoners have been
captured since the attack began.
During the crossing of the Piave by
Italian and British troops, an Austrian
battleplane attacked an Italian observa-
ton balloon. and attempted to pass
through it. The attempt failed and the
enemy airplape became entanged in the
ropes of the balloon. Both the balloon
and the airplane were set on fire and the
burning mass dropped to the ground in
the region of MonteIlo. Neither the
pilot Of the airplane nor the observers
il the balloon were hurt.
Elements of the American expedi-
tionary force in Italy, who have been
in reserve, are now in readiness to
take part in the fighting east Of the
Piave. The Americans probably will
be brigaded with the Italians.
Battle Continues Victoriously.

gun on the Piave river Sunday BY

Every United States soldier in Eu-

last night signed an executive order

public by the Civil-ssryacA Genmsssion

'Tn view Of conditions existing in

AT ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS ON
THE PAVE. Tuesday. October 20
Austrian forces are retreating under
ever-increasing pressure. and it is felt
that the attack against the enemy will
become overwhelming as soon as the
entire allied force can enter the action.
With three successive days of fair
weather an extremely large body of
troops, with supplies, has crossed the
pontoons over the Piave. 1t is ex-
ply will give out. There are indica-
tions that the enemy's heavy artillery
is being withdrawn in an effort to
save the big guns.
Two Towns Captured.
The towns of valdobbiadene and
Conegliano. on the eastern side of the
Piave river in northern Italy, have
been taken by allied troops from the
ro-Hungarians.
The capture Of Valdobbiadene is
considered important in view of future
operations along the Piave front. A
bridgehead has been firmly established
there.
when the 1900 prisoners reached
the river they fought eagerly to Sc
cure places in the boats SO as to cross
and eat full meal The first French
batteries have been takAn across the
Piave.
The whole allied line between. Con-
egliano, which Is an important railway
and road center, and Valdobbiadene
has been advanced.
Red Cross ia Give Aid.
The American Red Cross is prepar-
ing to assist the Italian population in
towns evacuated by the Austrians.
The majority of these people are old
men and women and children. For
ten miles back from the river the
country has been isolated. Only one
house is left standing at Cimadolmo.
The latest reports show the Aus
