fdelayed) .--Nenicc's liberation by the
expulsion % the Austro- Hungarian
from the delta Of the Ptave River was
attended by some Of the hardest fighting
seen on this front. The Austrians put
up a terrible resistance. and IL il esti-
mated that 20 0OO officers and men. or
80 per cent. of their electives. were
killed, wounded or taken prisoner
The enemy employed thirty-sevcn bat
talions, among which were considerable
elements of the celebrated Orient Corps
originally prepared for operations in
Palestine FOR the purpose Of holding
Jerusalem. How serious was the mem
ace to Venice Is indicated by the fact
that Austrian guns were only five miles
away. Sandbars exist along the
Adriatic coast. where the ground is solid
enough to support cannon II the AUS
TRANS had been able to advance them.
IT was due 10 the untiring vaor of the
uavy's Sunboats and sailors and sol
diers fighting neck deep in mud. water
and reeds that the Austrian Ranking
movement was blocked. The fgating
was specially arduous on the hundreds
of canals behind the lagoon district.
where every cellaress hut had been
transformed into a machine gun nest.
The Italians had to make night at
tacks, swimming with a knife in their
teeth until they surprised and killed the
machine gun defenders. The artillery
of both sides played night and day
freely upon every road built In between
the canals
The result of the battle gives the Itsl-
ians nearly forty square miles of new
territory and shorter front.
