PROTEST CANADA PLAN TO MARKET
 FISH IN AMERICA

Boston, Feb. 1.-American and Can adian members of the international fishery conference resumed today hearings at which they endeavored to learn the attitude of New England fishermen toward proposed reguIa- tions for the joint use of ports in both countries by men engaged in the in- dustry. Dealers in this section pro- tested yesterday against a plan which would permit Canadian vessels to land catches at American ports. They agreed that while this would increase the supply for home consumption, it would work a great hardship on New l England fishing interests.
 Secretary of Commerce Reddeld, chairman of the commission, an. nounced today that the hearings would be continued until both sides
 had completed the presentation of
 their claims.

ITALIAN ATTACK
 BIO SURPRISE TO AUSTRIHNF0 FORCES

Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy Thursday, Jan. 31.-(By The Associated Press.)-The splendid suc- cess gained by the Italian troops in two days of fighting west of the Brenta river has been maintained at all points and the area of newly oc- cupied territory is being organized -apidly without further effort by the enenpy to regain his lost positions.
 As the Italian brigades that took 3art in the fighting reassembled it de- veloped that their losses were com Daratively small, the aggregate being considerably less than the number of
 risoners taken from the enemy.
 But the enemy losses were extreme
 heavy, as is shown by the number f dead left on the field and the re- ports of prisoners. It is estimated that the total enemy loss without bunting the prisoners taken by the Italians was between 5000 and 5000.
 The result of the action is having an effect on the morale of the enemy, according to reports of prisoners. The Austrian winter campaign in the mountains has stopped entirely as it was concluded that the difficulties of snow and ice and the interruption of roads and transportation supplies had made operations impossible. These conditions were exceedingly severe in the fighting area, even drinking water for the troops being transported up the mountains from the plains.
 Having accepted these conditions as decisive against the winter onen- sive, the Austrians were taken com- pletely by surprise when the Italians carried out the operation which drove the enemy back from the lines mark ing his winter position.
