Official Italian Statement
Tells of the Great Disaster
on the lsonzo Battle Front

ROME. october 29.-An official state
ment given by the war Office yesterday
said: /
1.-The failure to resist on the part of
some units forming our second army,
which in cowardice retired without
fighting or surrendered to the enemy,
allowed the Austro-German forces to
break into our left wing on the Julian
front. The valiant efforts of other
troops did not enable them to prevent
the enemy from advancing into the sa-
cred soil of our fatherland. We now
are withdrawing our-line according to
the plan prepared. All stores and de-
pots in the evacuated places were de-
stroyed.
"The record of many memorable bat
ties fought with success by our brave
soldiers during two and one-half years
of war Is sufficient to assure the COM
mander-in- chief that the army to which
the honor and safety of the country are
confided will know how to fulfill its
duty"
The war office later issued an amend
ed version Of the official statement on
operations. AS amended the first SEN
tence Of the announcement reads:
..The violence Of the attack and tho
failure to resist on the part OF some
units forming our I'd Army allowed the
Austro-German forces to break into our
left wing on the Julian front"

There has been prevalent the assump-
