respondent OF the Giornal d'Italia
writes that the Austrian retreat is
partly due to the profound dis~stis-
faction existing among the Hungarian
contingents on the italian frontier.
Following the Russian offensive these
contingents requested their officers to
inform the commander in chief that
they preferred to defend their own
country rather than invading Italy.
A high Austrian taken prisoner de-
clared the Russian advance had caused
dissatisfaction among Hungarian regi-
ments and that several had already
been sent to the eastern front
