AUSIRIANS MAKE GIG ADVANCES
FACE DIFFICULTIES IN MOUNTAINS
Berlin, May 20—Advices have
been received in this city via Vien
na that the Austrian treoi>s are
making big advances south of Trent
Tile tracpa are facing the difficul
ties of the uoun'r-inouB passes and
stu p inclines.
The Italians have blcokaded the
pa.-sts ; ud it will be difficult for'
them tc root them out their stra
get«e positions. Yesterday the j
Italian* stopped the advances of
tho \uslrians, who could make no
headway against the defensive for
matioiu of the southerners. This
morning a different condition pre
sents its* If and the Austrians have
walked through the linea of the de- ;
fenders with little loss to their
ranks. The Italians have left thefi
primary defense lines and fallen
ba« k ii>to the mountains.
Duriug the night reinforcements
u ere received by the Auetrians In
cluding ammunition, arms and field
artillery which aided in their morn
ing attack. The Italians received
Practically no reinforcements.
The objective point of the Aua
trians is Verona and Vicenza. It
is thought that once they can gain
those cities and hold the moun
tain passes that it will be aa easy
matter to capture Venice, Florence
and all or the northern towns. Rag
ged firing is now being carried on.
