The crest of the sPiave river flood
passed yesterday but the falling wat

tons Of the Austrians. The ununda-
tion went sixteen feet above the low
water mark.
Along the over Piave italian pres

"Piave", 10 Written IN Blood
With the Italians along the front
there is only stern intention to do or
die. There is no effervescent boasting.
no victory chants, but realization
that harder fighting may vet come.
The word "Piave" is being written
in blood red letters on austrian
hearts," says Undiscovered, sweat
stained italian officer. who has been
fighting every day for a week with
scarcely any. rest.
South of the Zenson bend the Aus
trians are fighting rear guard actions
to cover the retirement Of their main
body over the two bridges they have
left at San Dona and Grisolera, three
and half miles from the Adriatic.
civh Population Undisturbed.
Behind the lines the civil population
is undisturbed, there being but few
refugees. The cities are calm, Venice
appearing like a sleeping beauty. The
American colony there has been re-
.duced, consisting only Of the American
consul and the Red Cross and the Y.

coming more plentiful, due to the in

American aviators are attracting most
friendly attention. They are regarded
with smiling eyes even by the roughest
soldiers at the 'front.'

news received in allied countries In
many months. s
Altho nothing Is yet known as to
the extent of the Austrian defeat or
how far the Italians and allies may be
in a position to take full advantage Of
It, the statement of the italian COM
mander is hailed with enthusiasm.
Public opinion had been prepared here
by progress Of the operations to hope
that Italy was destined to redeem the
grievous hsaster suffered last October.
and as each day Of the battle passed
hope began to grow into confidence.
Austrian claims IN the meantime did
little or nothing to lessen this conf

observers here saw in it an intention 60

Some comment assumed that the de-
feat in the Piave will have an impert-

that the Austrian army might be trans-
