Having arrived at Trent with his staff, the Austrian crown prince today begnn directing the campaign against Vlcenza, the Verdun of the Italian front. General Cadorna, the Italian chier, is likely to go to the Trentlno front. Further Italian retirements before the terrific Austrian pounding were officially ad mitted today. But the defenders have every confidence that the enemy offensive has nearly spent Its strength. With a heavy sacrifice ot men and ammunition, the Austrlans only pene trated the Italian frontier once, In Astlco valley. The Invaders are still 12 miles from Vlcenza, the reported goal of the Austrlans. A quarter of a million of Austrian troops are engaged around the Adlge valley. Losses on both sides have been staggering, but no figures are available. The Austrlans attempted to catch the Italians off their guard while im portant troop movements were un der way. After three days' fighting, the Italians, rather than sacrifice men needlessly, retired to other posi tions. Crest aerial activity Is being mani fested on the Tyrolose front.
