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.
