— ITALIANS HO HUN LEGION IN CHECK AT RIVER City of Venice Threatened If the Enemy Succeeds in Piercing the Present Line. VATICAN TROUBLED BY ENEMY APPROACH Allies Hurrying Reinforcements and Hopes Are Strong They Will Arrive in Time. Rome, Nov. 17.-—Pope Benedict's mother and sister, who were at Tre- viso, have gone to Bologna because of fear of the Austro-German invasion. AID REACHES DIAZ. London, Nov. 17.—The Lritish cor- respondent accredited to Italian head- quarters, in a dispatch of Thursday says: “Allied reinforcements are reaching Italy daily in increasing numbers. To save waiting for trains on the con- gested railway some French troops have been brought across the Alps through the snow covered passes. The allied troops are marching steadily forward to their appointed places in the Italian scheme of defense. The British and French troops are in high spirits. They are delighted at the change in scene and over the pros- pect of a new adventure.” DAY’S WAR EVENTS The situation in Russia is still clouded by uncertainty owing to in- terrupted communication with Petro- grad, where at last reports the Bol- sheviki was in control and fighting was in progress in the stree A belated dispatch to the Associated Press sent from Petrograd last Wed- nesday morning reiterates that the forces of Alexander Kerensky, premier of the provisional Russian govern- ment, met with defeat at the hands of the Bolsheviki south of Petrograd while endeavoring to march upon Tsarskoe-Selo and were compelled to retreat back to Gatchina, whence they started for the attack. Hopeful News from Kiev. A more’ belated’ communication— dispatched from Petrograd last Tues- day—contained more hopeful néws concerning Kiev, where it was'said the cassacks and military cadets had gain-|. ed control ‘of the city after consider- able street fighting, during which the leaders of the recalcitrants were ar- rested. Moscow, however, was partly in the hands of the government troops and partly under the control of the Rolsheviki—the government contin- gents holding the central portion of the city and the Bolsheviki its en- virons. The casualties in Moscow as the result of street fighting were esti- mated at from 700 to 2,000. On the Italian Front. “On ‘the Italian front, which is the only’ theater in' the war’ where inten- sive fighting is in progress, the Ital- Jans continue’ to stiffen their front fram the, region of’ Lake Garda to the Adriatic sea. Nowhere have the Teu- tonic allies been able to penetrate their front for new gains of great im- portance. On the other hand thier at- tacks have met with flerce resistance and ultimate repulse, except in the north, where the town of Cismon, on the east bank of the Brenta river, and several hill positions, have been taken by the invaders. Artillery in Full Swing. All along the Piave a furious artil- lery action is in progress, and Italian airplanes again have come into the fray and are doing notable work in dropping bombs on the enemy lines. To the south, near the mouth of the Piave, in the region known as the “Holland of Italy,” Italian engi- neers have opened the dikes against the enemy forces which crossed the stream at Grisolera, who possibly have been trapped by the inrush of the water. The inundation, at all events, will make harder the task of the enemy in bringing up guns with which to shell Venice from the north- east. British in Palestine. The British in Palestine continue to press forward against the Turks. They row have reached a point three miles sonth of Jaffa and are meeting with only slight resistance.
