The | invaders have failed in strong at ! tacks against Italian positions. Northeast of Asiago and along the Piave there have been only artillery duels. North of Feltre the Austro-Ger mans have captured 14,000 Italians, who apparently were cut off in their attempt to reach the new defense po sitions. The Italians, aided by the j French and British, are prepared to give battle to the invaders and heavy lighting is not unexpected. The Italian reverse has caused Premiers Lloyd George of Great Britain and Painleve, of France, both former ministers of war, to de-! Clare for solidarity of the allied j command and efforts on the battle-! ' fields of Europe. The reverses of the past three years, Premier -loyd i George said, had made it necessary j that the leadership be unified and j that the allies be united. Victory will! come from unity of action, no mat ter what may happen to Russia ori in Russia, the British leader de cleared. Measures Taken to Protect Venice, Famous Art Center By Associated Press Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, Monday, Nov. 12.—A heavy and continuous bombardment is pro ceeding along the lower Piave river, marking the opening strifes of ex tensive operations on this new line. ' The engagements thus far have ! consisted of episodes at detached | points, although the shelling extends almost uninterruptedly for *orty miles along the lower Piave. The crash of some enemy heavy guns is now heard, showing that the Aus trians and Germans have been able to bring up a few of these monster pieces. Secret is no longer made of the fact that the Piave is the line of de fense to which the supreme com mand has been bending its energies steadily for the last ton days. The upper end of this line joins the Trentino front, making virtually one unified front, sweeping in a huge arc from Lake Garda to the mouth of Piave near Venice. Precautionary measures to pro tect Venice continue, lest the enemy whose long-range guns are not far off. should attempt to bombard the famous art center. The palace of the Doges has been covered with sand bags and the delicate arched facade has been shored with heavy timbers. The Campanile has sandbags for forty feet around the base. The Grand canal is filled with gondolas, which are being used for transpor tation purposes. Russian Legation Is Back of Kerensky By Associated Press Berne, Switzerland, Nov. 13.—The] Russian legation here has sent the| following message to M. I.

The message is signed by M. Onou, the change d'affaires, and his eight colleagues. Exodus From Venice; Paintings Sent to Florence By Associated Press Italian Headquarters, Nov. 13. For several days the gravity of the situation for Venice has not been underestimated, and suitable precau tionary measures have been taken to protect this great art center. The! city preserves comparative calm, while picturesque gondolas, filled with passengers and goods, take de parting throngs to the station. The municipality is affording every as sistance to those who are leaving 1 and is allowing two lire daily (normallv forty cents) to the needy until they are located elsewhere. The government is keenly alive to the situation as regards the artistic treasures of the city, and military and naval operations doubtless would be considered secondary to saving priceless monuments like the Cam panile, the Palace of the Doges and St. Mark's from bombardment. All the chief paintings of Titian and Paolo Veronese have been riymoved to Florence, but scores of great fres coes cannot be taken away.
