ATTACKERS DISGUISEDIN ITALIAN UNIFORMS

(United Press Leased Wire.)

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUAR-TERS, Nov. 24. —Disguised inItalian uniforms, Austrian troops

picked from the flower of the dualmonarchy's fighting forces pre-cipitated one of the bloodiest bat-tles on the Piave lines Wednes-day. Details were received byheadquarters today. The battlewas around San Marino.

The Austrlans opened with aterriflo artillery bombardmentcontinuing for hour's. Then theysent advance troops against Italianpositions. Their violent on-slaught, coupled with the confu-sion caused by the fact they woreItalian uniforms, gave them a tem-porary foothold near San Marino.

The Valtelllna Alpines weresent to the counter attacks. Re-gardless of the enemy fire, theyswept the Austrian* back. Manyprisoners were taken. Every Aus-trian found in an Italian uniformwas shot.

Italian* Hold Tight.The battle upon which the fate

of the Venetian plainsniay depend,was developing In a fury of con-centrated fir* today between the

rivers.Held fast everywhere along the

front by the magnificent Italiandefense, the German and Au«trlanstaffs were massing tremendousforces at this point, evidently hav-ing picked it aB the key to theline.

Dispatches to headquarters to-

day reported withdrawal of forcesfrom half a dozen other points in ithe line for dispntch here, where jthe enemy patiently plans an over-whelming assault.

Fear Reinforcement*.That the German and Austrian

staffs are by no means convincedof their ability to break the lineand are even fearful of an en-forced retreat when British andFrench reinforcements shall havearrived, was indicated in reportsof aviators today showing thatthe enemy Is already preparing adefense line along the Tagllamentoriver.

The strongest sort of defensesare being constructed here. Newtypes of German guns made theirappearance in the pivotal battlebetween the Brenta and Piave.

They are of large caliber andmounted on huge motors, givingthem great inability. The gunsoperate in groaps.

TrotKky announced today thatthe first chapter of his revelationswould Include treaties relating tothe Dardanelles and the dispatchesof former Foreign Minister Tere-schenko (of the Kerensky cabinet)relating thereto.
