Notwithstanding the fact that deep SHOWS still cover the ground. the Ital- ians have carried cut successfully a spectacular drive against the Austro- German lines in the mountain region of northern Italy and captured strong positions and more than 1,500 men.
 The blow was delivered on the Asia go plateau sector and the enemy posi- tions penetrated were tenaciously held, despite strong counter-attacks, in which the Austro-G Germans were re- pulsed with heavy casualties. The Berlin war office in admitting the re- verse to the Teutonic allied line, as- serts that the Italians repeatedly tried to bring up endorsements to widen the breaches they had made in the enemy front, but that their efforts fail cd and that 360 Italians were made prisoner.
 AirpIanes Aided the Italians.
 That airplanes aided materially in the fighting, full details of which have yet been received. is indicated in the Italian official communication, which asserts that during the progress of the battle the enemy lost twelve aircraft. The victory of the Italians at this particular point is of considerable sig nifcance because of the fact that late ly. since the enemy's strong attempts tc break through from the hill region to the Venetian plain failed around Monte Tomba and sectors west, the Austro- Germans have been bringing ] up endorsements in the Asiago dis trict preparatory to a further series of attacks to reacn the lowlands around Bassano n-d vicenza
 Aside from this battle no important infantry operation have been record cd although the Germans have beer operating with their artillery on g somewhat extensive scale on the Ar ras front and have carried out raidins operations on several other sectors o Field Marshal Haigs line.

 It is probable that no general em- bargoes will be declared by Director General McAdoo, although individual railroads will be given free hand in refusing to accept shipments when ever local conditions make this course advisable.
 Officials admitted that many of these local embargoes probably would be put into effect during the next two months. The official embargo now prevailing for three eastern trunk lines entire east will not be lifted for sew | eral days.
 Demurrage Rates Modified. 1 The railroad administration today decided to modify the drastic demur- l rage regulations put into effect last week by restoring the so-called aver age agreement for cars held for un- loading only, and by reducing rates after the two days free time to $3 a | day for four days, s6 a day for three succeeding days, and $1O a day there after. By the average agreement if | a consignee unloads a car within a day, for instance, he. receives credit for one day balance of his free time and pays demurrage only on the az
 gregate balance for all cars. An order embodying the new rules probably will be issued tomorrow. a44- ss 1 Word reached railroad headuuarters today that railroads already have
