Austria Cannot Take Men From Italy to Help | Germany in France, Belief Rome, Wednesday, Feb. 13.—Al though tlic Austrian press In the last few weeks has been referring to preparations for an offensive, which they say the Italians are making, as justification for the assertion that it is impossible to withdraw either men or guns to help Germany in a supreme effort in France, Field Marshal Boroevic, the Austrian com mander, apparently wishes to bring an end to the period of Inactivity. He is resuming his battering ram tactics in the mountain section. ly the last three days the Aus trians have engaged in vigorous ac tions against the new Italian line in the Frenzla and Bella Valleys, - where important positions were wrested from the Austrians a short time ago. The enemy preceded his •infantry attacks by violent bom bardments Ifut when the Austrian infantrymen attempted to press for ward, as they did in the Bella Val ley by advancing into the Selle and Vallette woods, they came under the tire of Italian light and medium artillery and machine gunj, which compelled them to beat a retreat with enormous loss. I The Austrians met with another and equally severe check in the. I'renzela Valley yesterday. In the course of this fighting Lteu-| tenant Ranza, an aviator, brought I down two enemy airplanes, increas- j ing the number of his victories in aerial encounters to sixteen.
