BERLIN', Nov. 20.
;. Terrific fightins la taking place in
northern Italy, the War Office reported
' today. At Mount Tomba (between the
,' , Brenta and Piave valleys) the Italians
wade a number of powerful counter-
' assaults, but were unable to recapture
t' the height from thc-Germans, the offi-
cial statement said. The Italians at-
tacked violently and in close formation.
? Along the lower Piave there have been
? eo new developments, it was stated.
' Suggestions of a contemplated Italian rc-
'' treat from tlic IMavo River arc contained In
llipatcl.es from tlio front today. A cen-
' rored dispatch from Italian headquarters
J fpeaks of the "poFslblo necessity" of abnn-
i donlng the IMavo line "in order to complete
preparations to tesume the offenlve." At
i the name time the Italian press Is warning
1 .'the public against undue optimism.

Tho Italians announce n continuation of
the counter-offensive In tho Melette region
nd the capture, of 306 prisoners and five
machine gun. It Is also announced that
four massed attacks nround Monte Fcnera
have been repulsed, but admission Is made
of fighting In tho vicinity of Monte Grappa,
seven miles west of Qucro, which shows
that tho Teutons havo advanced still far
ther In their flank attack.
A retreat from tho I'lave would neces
arlly' mean the evacuation of both Venice
and Trcvlso. Tho former city Is already
lirjely depopulated, and many of Its price
less art treasures havo been removed. A
dispatch from Homo says that tho Tope
has obtained from the Teutons a promise
that no damage wilt he done to Venice and
none of Its works of art will bo removed If
the city Is evacuated without attempt at

, LONDON', Nov. 20. Ccnsoiod dispatches
received today from Italian headquarters
, ' pointed out tho possible necessity of nban-
aoning the I'lave River line in cruer 10
complete preparations to resume the offen

(Jo of Venlco and Trcvlso.
Coincident with this possible significant
Jt. precautionary noto sounded -trom neaa-
, quarters, the Italian press, according to
word received here 1 .urging the public not
to become" unduly optllnlstle. Iondon
newspapers today followed'thls Mime course,
. So far the I'lave line has proved im
pregnable to the Austro-German assault.
Virtually the only gains which the picked
enemy forces have been able to' make have
been on the northern or left wing In the
'mountains. The river lino Itself has ap
parently resisted all efforts at a breach.
One reason for the note of caution

LONDON, Nov. 20.
A direct and unequivocal statement
to the entire world of the Allies' war

of information of unquestioned author
ity today, as the American commis
sioners held their first formal meeting
with th,e British war leadrs in Down
ing street.
It is' to insure the organization of
such' a council that the American cohi
misslon, headed by Colonel House,' Is"
In Europe. It is to insure such a dec
laration being made binding upon all
the Allies, as well as to stiffen the of
fensive, that the council is desired by
the United States.
America's Immediate aim and the big
-task assigned to Colonel Houso will be to In
duce every one of the Allied nations o
throw every card on the table, to state every
demand and present every claim of the
war. From the cntlro lot will then be se
lected those which are basic, which are
predicated upon hroad humanltarlanlsm,
whlch.Justlfy the Allies1 claim as champions
of tho rights of small nations, which aro
aimed nt freeing civilization from the men
ace of militarism and which arc In truth
calculated to "make the world safe for
democracy."
