Allies Hold Front as Austrian, German Attacks Intensify
Across the western and Italian fronts, British French and American forces repelled German efforts near Xivray and along the Piave, while Austrians attacked at Monte Moschin with heavy losses. Italian, British, and French troops captured over 4,500 Austrian prisoners as clashes continued from Trent to the Adriatic.

Offensive Strategy Calls For Mass Decisive Attacks
General Foch argues in the Field that modern warfare hinges on offensive battles that destroy the enemy’s organized forces. Reserves are the decisive bludgeon, kept lean and unleashed at the finish to secure a total victory, with all forces contributing to the final attack. A separate note from Indianapolis News shares a child’s humorous request about Boston becoming Maine’s capital. A Belgian queen visit to wounded soldiers and a report on 600 young war victims in a front school are also mentioned.
