French Armies in Italy, Dec. 4. The enemy is beaten at Monte Crappe. He may attack after a lull, but the temporary suspension of his plan to crash through will prove fatal to campaign. From now on wherever he strikes he will find every strag etie point along the Piave river front held down, not only by It aly's heroic fighters, but bv Brit ish and French veterans. The Austro-German assault at Monte Grape is the third effort to turn the Italian flanks on the Pi ave front. The Germans launched the cream of their mountain fighting troops against Grappas outer ring, then the German Alpen Korps, the Austrian Imperial sharpshoot ers, and the Austrian Edelweiss hurried to the assault. The Italian troops fought like fiends. Pri soners declare the resistance often wiped out half the attack-: s effectives. U Ml Ami ALL COLONIES f BY UN ITKD PRKSS London. Tipo 4- ""Rnst.
