ItaliansRetire; But
Not Forcedto Do So

ROME, May 23-The Italian
official report of today admits
the retirement of Italy's forces
on their main lines of defense
between the Astico and Brenta
Rivers and in the Sugana Valley
in the Southern Tyrol.
The report explains that the
backward movement was made
not because of pressure that
could not be withstood, but for
military reasons studied out in
advance.
A hundred cannon to the mile,
along a front of twenty miles,
military experts say, forms the
unprecedent concentration being
employed by the Austrians in
their present offensive. The
terrific resultant fire is given as
the reason the Italian Command
er-in-Chief thought it advisable
to Withdraw his troops and con-
solidate them in more advant-
ageous positions for defense.

in capturing a redoubt and ruin
ed works connected with the

Strewn about the southern

fury of the battle has grown
more intense and there has
been no chance to reach the dy-

West of the Meuse the French

upon the Verdun forts. The
capture of Cumieres opens the
way for a German drive down
the Meuse upon Chattancourt

southwest of Fort Douamont

Three enemy counter-attacks
