FIGHT DESPERATELY
Italian Artillery Attacks En

By Associated Press "
ITALIAX HEADQUARTERS IX
ITALY, Xov. 14. The Piave line still
holds against the heavy and continu
ous artillery fire from the eastern
bank of the river where the Austro-j
Germans are crossing the stream.'
These efforts have not taken the
proportion of a general movement, but'
several battalions crossed the river on
pontoons near Zenson. The Italian I
artillery concentrated its fire on the
raiding parties and either destroyed
them in mid-stream or pushed them
back on the river bank.
The fighting here was desperate and
sanguinary. Men who have returned
from the batteries along the Piave say
the German fire Is extremely heavy,
but from middle caliber guns. Chief
attention now is directed toward the
eastern sector of the Trentino front,
where it appears to be the hope of the
Lencmy to divide the troops on the
Asiago Plateau from those In the up
per Piavs valley.
The enemy is making preparations
which are considered a prelude to a
heavy attack in the valley of the
lla8si.no and the plains below, thus
separating the Italian army on the
Trentino from the forces on the
Piave.
Reports indicate the enemy is opera
ting on four main fronts. The number
of troops under the AustroGerman
commanders is now known. The inter-Allied
conference is considering
measures for the defeyiSe and protec
tion of Venice.

LOXDOX, Xov. 14. The Finnish
Telegram Bureau says the whole of
Russia except a small part of Petro

According to these advices, which
were received in a cablegram filed at
Stockholm at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Premier Kerensky defeat
ed the Bolshevikis at Tsargoe-Selo,
and the Cossacks are reported to have
destroyed the Red Guard.
The telegraph lines are now in M.
Kerensky's hands, the Telegraph
Bureau reports.
The Finish Telegraph Bureau says
Moscow is the headquarters of the
Provisional Government and that
Premier Kenensky has issued orders
from Moscow which have appeared in
the Petrograd papers.
The anti-BoIsheviki papers of Petro
grad, as well as the Helsingfors news
papers, have headlines announcing
that the Bolshevik! government is
nearing its downfall. General Kala

oe dictator of Southern Russia.
For the last three days reports have

contradicted by the announcement re
