The Italian Army has regained confidence, and is now fighting
well on the front north and cast of Venice. On the Trentino border, north-cast of Asiago, the enemy has repeatedly failed to break into the Brenta Valley, and the Italians have counter- attacked with some success. To the east, in the hills between the Brenta and the Piave, the enemy has delivered this week a series of violent attacks, but he has not shaken the main Italian defences which centre in Monte Grappa. South of this, along the Piave, enemy forces which crossed the river on Friday week east of Treviso were destroyed. The Italians took over twelve hundred prisoners, and have since kept their river-line intact. If the Italian Army can hold its positions for a little longer till the French and British troops have time to concentrate for their suprort, Venice may yet be saved.
