The allies have invaded Austria. Italian and Ameri
can forces according to a diplomatic dispatch received in
Washington today have landed near the great Austrian
naval base of Pola.
This gives the allies a foothold on Austrian soil be
tween the enemy armies retreating from Italy and the
Balkans. ,
. Pola is situated on the Adriatic, at the tip of the Is
trian peninsula, 55 miles south of Trieste and 45 miles
southwest of Fiume. It has one of the finest harbors in
Europe and was the chief naval base of Austria contain
ing great dockyards and the headquarters of the admiral-1
ty. It is strongly fortified. It has a population of 50,000.
Seizure of Pola will enable the allies to overrun Istria,
menacing Trieste and Fiume and opening the way for a
real drive behind the Austrians retreating from Italy. It
also gives the allies a strong strategic position in the rear
of the Austrian Balkan armies. Vienna is 250 miles north
east of Pola.-, " . ..'..'"
Whether any of the Austrian fleet remains at Pola
is not definitely known. Conflicting reports have told
o f the fleet being removed to Fiume and of mutinous
marines seizing the ships at Pola and turning them over
to the Jugo-Slavs. ' . s v
, The allied drive in Italy, according to dispatches re
ceived by the Italian embassy at Washington, has result
ed In the trapping of a big Austrian army along the Tag

except over the Alps. Fighting on the. west front was be
ing carried on with renewed intensity today. : , '
The Canaiiians cottipleted the capture of Valenciennes

With the Italian Armies in the Field,
Nov.; 2. The Italians, following eol
fapfb of the Grappa defenses, are stead
ily driving the .Austrians' Trentino
army northward across the mountains
toward the frontier. ".-"-
At the same time, the enemy 's Piavo
army, completely . cut off: from ths
othir Austrian forces, is being pursued
acroas the Venetian plains, cousui.ily
under the threat of encirclement froni
tho north. ;
Capture of Fcltro, the Austrian cen
tral bum, is of great importance, as it
prevents the distribution of reservos
either to the westward or the southeast
ward. :
The Italians "now "command 'the 'en
trance to the Val Sugana, leading into
tho Trentino. The city of Trent is only
20 miles distant. (The Val Sugana
lies north of the Asiago plateau, along
tho Bienta valley.)
Columns of cavalry and light infan
try nro skirting tho entire southern
foothills of the Alps, cutting off the
possibility of the Austrians escaping
northward from tho Venetian plains.
The brilliancy of General Diaz' vari
ous movoments is further rovealed by
the fact that the Austrians have been
forced to increase the length of their
line more than 70 kilometers (42Vi
miles), while at the same time they
suffered such heavy losses they cannot
reorganize their positions or hold them.
