 STONED COAL OFFICE
 Some of those who had been waiting patiently with pas bags, small wagons and baby carriages, at once began to stone the office windows.

Italians Gain Splendid Vic

THOUSAND TURKS
 KILLED AND 750
 TAKEN IN PALESTINE
Berlin Report Claims An other Gain of Ground From the British in
 Cambrai Sector
By the Associated Press

Another reverse for the leu. tonic allied arms, following that effected by the French troops in their initial drive in the northern front in Italy, has been brought about by the Italians in a sharp attack in the famous Benson loop on the lower reaches of the Piave river.
 Here the enemy has been driven to the eastern bank of the stream from positions he had held since the Ital- ians in their retrograde movement from the Isonzo made their stand along the western shore of the Piave. Thus the entire right bank of the Piave has been cleared of the in- vaders, except far to the north, where the battle line runs westward from. the stream through the hili region.
 The fighting for the Benson bridgehend had been in progress since last Thursday, the Italians keeping energeticaily after the foe in order to regain the posi- ton, which always hns been con sidered n menace to Venice. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the enemy by the artillery and rifle fire of the Italians before he was forced to recross the stream.
 ON NORTHERN FRONT
 On the northern front the in- fantry again is idle for the mo- ment, but the big guns of both sides are keeping up intensive duels various sectors, particu- larIy around Monte TOmba and on the AsiagO plateau. The enemy Is continuing his air raids over inn portant towns on the plain, his latest attack having been direct- ed against Vicenxa, Bassano, Castle Franco and Treviso. Thirteen per- sons were killed and four others wounded. the majority of them civilians. Only small material damage resulted from the new raids.
 OPERATIONS IN FRANCE
 Likewise the operations on the fronts in France and BeIgiGm are being confined almost exclusively to bOmbardmcnts, although the German war office claims further gain of ground by the army of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Ba- varia over the British south of Marcoing in the Cambrai sector.
 There are persistent rumOrs that heavy fighting is in progress between kaIedines' Cossacks and Bolshevfki troops in sOuthwcstern Russia, and that the casualties have been heavy. No details of an authentic nature have yet come through, hut the reports say the the southwestern front with num- erous losses of men and guns, but thnt they have occupied the i'm portant town of Poltava.
 Still further progress has been made by the British troops Oper- ating against the Turks in PaIes- tine north of Jerusalem. The Turks in the fighting of the last several days have lost more than 1000 men killed and 75O made pris- Oncr.
