NO REAL PROGRESS IN VENETIAN RAID Many Contradictory Rumors from Petrograd But No Sub- stantial Facts. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. With the Russian situation still ob-! scured by reason of the fact that no! direct advices are heing received trom! Petrograd or Nioscow, the Italian situ-| ation is of transcendant interest in| the news of the world war. i Everywhere along the battle front} the Italians are holding the enemy} in check, except in the hilly region in| the vicinity of the Asiago plateau,| where additional gains have been; made by the invaders. The new ad-| vances by the Teutonic allies, as ob-| served onthe war maps, do not in- dicate that points of extremely great strategotic value have been won, but! father that the Italia on yarious | sectors have given ground before great | superior numbers, and at the same! time straightened out and lessened the length of their front. In the hills north of the Venetian plains, General Diaz, the new com- mander in chief of the Italians, has withdrawn his advanced posts south of | Monte Tomatico. On the Asiago pla-} teau and thence eastward to where the battle front meets the upper reaches of the Piave river, the German and Austro-Hungarian forces are add- ing strength to their attacks, doubt- less hoping to drive through the high- land country to the plains of Venetia before the expected arrival of British and Frenci reinforcements becomes a fact. ic Gain Reinforcements. Notwithstanding rduous | re- treat from the Isonve westward, ‘the Italians evidently heve been able to reinforce iheir noriieru line sufficient- ly to give battle to the enemy in such strength as to prev a precipitate invasion of the lowlands, where un- doubtedly it is the ambition of the enemy to turn the flank of the de- fenders and force a withdrawal of their line still farther westward. Along the Piave from the region of Feltre to the Adriatic the invaders at numerous points have endeavored to make new crossings of the river, but everywhere they have been thwarted. Those already on the west bank of the river are being hard held to their original positions, the artillery and rifle fire of the Italians keeping them in check. Near. Zenson the positions of the enemy gradually are being encroached river at Grisolera the invaders in the swampy Jowlands constantly are un- / der a vigorous shel and rifle fire.

One report has Petrograd in flames and another has 2,000 persons killed in the streets of Moscow dur- ing the fighting between the Kerensky and Bolsheviki factions. Still another is to the effect that a coalition govern- ment has been formed in Moscow with members of the Bolsheviki holding portfolios in it. Other unconfirmed reports are to the effect that anarchy: reigns in Kiev and other Russian cities, and that excesses against the Jews are being committed.

Italian Army Headquarters in North- ern Italy, Wednesday, Nov. 16,—Un- der the escort of a staff officer from headquarters the correspondent today made a tour along 30 miles of the ave battlefront while a terrific artil- fire was in progress on both banks of the river and the whole or- dinarily peaceful valley was trans- formed into a blazing inferno. | From a suitable observation point the view led across the river to the positions occupied by General von Euelow’s German troops, who had oc- cupied the town of Vidor, over which hung a huge German balloon. Further along could be plainly seen the two opposing lines running along the east and west banks\of the river. An abando! y bank of the Piave river further down afforded a view of a massive bridge: with the two middle spans blown up| and of the great pall of smoke hang- ing over Zenson and the Island ot Grave, where the enemy had crossed the river, but were still held back on} the river’s edge by the fierce counter attacks of the Italians. All along the lower stretch of the river the bombardment was continu- ous. The Italian lines were holding well at all points and everything indicated | the thoroughness of the concentration that had been effected by the army; along the new lines. In the new trenches along the river bank and among the columns advanc- ing along the roads the men displayed | the best of spirits and evidenced their) determination in the desperate strug-! gle for the holding of thi line, | which is now reaching its climax. | RESULTS IN PRISONERS. | London, Nov. 16.—In the house of commons to@ay during a speech Mr.| Henry Wm. Forster, financial secre-| tar, | of war, said that since July 1,} 1916, the British had captured from the Turks 30,197 prisoners and 186 guns, and from the Germans on the} western front 101,534 prisoners and 519 guns. The approximate square mileage in| territory conquered or reconquered by| the British in the same time, said ™ Forster, was 128,000. The tota! num- ber of prisoners captured on all fronts since the beginning of the war was 166,000, while the captured guns num- bered 800. An officfal statement issued by the British war office Aug. 24 said that the number of prisoners captured by the Rritish in all war theaters since the beginning of the war, exclusive of African natives, at that time to- taled 131,776. AMERICANS WOUNDED. With the American Army in France, Noy. 15—A number of American in-| fantrymen suffering from shell wounds! arrived today at the base hospital. All the casualties were caused by the same shell. A group of Americans were in a! shack in the reserve when the Ger-| mans began shelling heavily. The; officers ordered the men to a dugout,! but before they could get there a] large shell dropped on the position and exploded. The American artil- lerymen concentrated their fire on the communicating trench of the enemy and it is believed that their shells caused considerable casualtics and damage. KING MEETS AMERICANS. Pelgian Headquarters in the Field,| Noy. 1h—!Sing Albert today received | a delegation of American congress: | men and former congressmen.

These requests will be turned over to W. H. Groverman, | secretary of the Northwest Coal Dock | Operators’ association, and the com- panies holding up the orders will be} required to make immediate shipment. In case of car shortage the fuel ad- ministration will communicate with railroad companies and procure the necessary carriers. Under the operation of the priority coal shipment order of the federal fuel administration, the amount of| coal on docks at the head of the lakes has tripled since Aug. 1, it was said.
