ed but more than 200 prisoners fell into the hands of the allied troops.
 On their part oyer the entire noun tain region. the Austrians have re- mained quiet except when compelled to go on the defensive and then their efforts to hold back their antagonists have lacked the stamania usual in men whose hearts are in their task. This condition has prevailed since the first onslaught of the enemy was sum- marily stopped by the fire of the British, French and Italian forces forming the barrier to the Venetian plains.
 More heart is being thrown into the work by the enemy along the Piave from the Montello plateau southwald to the region lying east of Venice. Here he still seems, notwithstanding his heavy losses and numerous re pulses on various sectors, bent on throwing his armies across the stream or pushing further westward with his forces that already have forded it. Nevertheless, further setDacks to the Austrians have followed those of past days on the Montello where the Itai- ians are vlciously disputing the right Of way to the pains. Likewise neaf the famous Zenson loop farther down the stream the enemy's heavy attacks nave been held and under the impetus of the Italian counter blows, he has ' fallen back nearer the river for re- Inducements hastily brought up. Still farther south, between Fossalta and San Dona Di Piave the Italians have further pushed back the invaders and unofficial reports assert that they have recaptured the village of Capo Sile, lying on the euge of the marsh region some twenty miles east of his
 toric Venice.
 It is not outside the range Of possi-
 bility that a large number of the Au'
 strians are in fair way to be taken
 prisoner by the Italians for a large number of the pontoon bridges which
 they threw across the Piave over the fourteen and half mile front between the Conegliano railway bridge and the Benson loop have been carried away on the bosom of the swollen stream.
 At any rate the loss of these bridges will necessarily seriously impede the
 reinforcement of the Austrians on inc
 west bank of the stream and the re- plenishment of their supplies. Meanwhile the food situation and the war wearlness of the people within
 the dual monarchy again are making trouble for the authorities.
 Troublous times also seemingly are
 in store for the German governm 'i., owing to the lack of bread. In Vienna mobs are reported to have raided bak- cries and stoned the residence of the premier and even to have attacked one
 of the wings of the imperial palace

 The German official communication said the Germans penetrated American positions at Seicheprey, in the TOul sector east of St AIihiel and inflicted heavy casualties.
