Driven from Summit of
Monte Ortigara by
Counter Blows
Cadorna Meets Foch
War Conference Is Held by
Chiefs at Outpost
in France

London, June 27.-Italian armies
moving slowly on Trent have suffered
sharp reverse. The official bulletin
from Rome to-day admits a withdrawal
from the summit of Monte Ortigara,
recently captured by Cadornas troops.
and the Vienna statement declares that
the Italian retreat was accompanied
with the loss of more than 1900 pris-
oners, forty-four Of whom were officers.
The actual situation in the Trentino
is obscure. At no time this year has
Vienna admitted the loss of any posi-
tions in the Trentino, and every Aus
trian communicate has specifically an
nounced the repulse Of all Italian ef-
forts. Yet to-day's Austrian report de-
clares that all positions on the frontier
ridge south of the Sugana Valley were
"recaptured." This would include the
summit of Monte Ortigara, the slopes
Of the mountain, the crest and slopes
Of Hill 2l05 and the Agnello Pass.
According 10 Vienna, the attack was
carried out, after an effective bonn
bardment, by the Imperial Rifles and
the " est GGllClAU iUldILis Asts ilHSilS
81. both of which together would not
make up a large force. Nevertheless,
the Italians are said to have been COM
pletely routed. "Thus far" the state
ment asserts, "all counter attacks have
been repelled."
Rome insists that the only positions
evacuated were those on the summit OF
the mountain, where the newly erected
defences were completely levelled and
there was no protection against the
"murderous fire Of the enemy"
Cadorna's men are said TO have taken
forty-seven prisoners. Since the main
engagement the fgh''n 'ng has dwindled,
indicating that the Austrian effort was
merely a defensive one. Sharp patrol
encounters took place yesterday in the
Monte Zebio sector Of the same front,
while on the Carso and along the
Isonzo there were only bombardments.
The two Italian drives toward Trieste
and Trent have not met the same sue
cess as Haig's ofensives in France and
Flanders. The Austrian return thrusts
have cost Cadorna's armies important
Yet, after the facts had been
sifted out Of the contradictory reports
issued at the time Of the Italian drive
on the Carso plateau. it was found that
Cadorna had retained net gains OF con-
siderable magnitude and strategic
value.

The German trenches were won in a

French Front in France, June PA
French military chaplain figured
prominently with the French troops in
d brilliantly successful attack or the
Dragons Cave, on the Chemin des
Danes, in the neighborhood Of Hurte'
bise.
While advancing with stretchef
bearer detachment the chaplain was
confronted by the fearsome figure oil
German officer, whose clothing was
afame. The chaplain raised cruciiiS
and offered religious comfort to the
burning man, who pointed TO the rear
where another German officer was
creeping out of hole.
The chaplain, still holding the cruel
fix aloft. advanced shouting to the
Germans to surrender. The officer re-
piled: Eve are ready, but will only
surrender to an officer" A French Of
ficer approached and entered the cav
ern, where $50 Germans, including
three officers, laid down their arms.
Where the action occurred was the
scene of an ambuscade Cf the French
i'm the beginning of 1915, which re-
suited in considerable French losses
When the French attacked on this oc-
casion, the position was a peculiar one.
The southern entrance OF the enormous
cavern, between Grotto Farm and the
monument commemorative Of a Ma
poleonic victory in 1914, was held BY
the French. The northern entrance
was held By the Germans. The cavern

undertakes 10 replace the lost vessels
by the cession of a number Of German
ships now in the Dutch East Indies.
The Telegram describes the agree
ment as & pleasant surprise and the
finest success for Dutch diplomacy
since the beginning OF the war. The
"Handelsblad" admits that the Entente
has a right to oppose the agreement, as
during the war enemy ships may not be
transferred to a neutral nation. II the
Allies, says the paper, wish to be un-
pleasant they will argue that the trans
fer Of insurance money resembles a
purchase. The "Handelsblad," how
ever. has reason to believe that the En-
tente powers will not oppose the deal.

Gustave Ado, elected to succeed DR..
Hoffman,, after the exposure of the
latter's participation in an attempt TO
arrange Russo-German peace, re-
ferred 70 the Hoffman, affair and said:
"I am glad of my election, believing
sincerely it will help to draw the Ger

gether. | hope the unpleasant episode

policy, by the observance toward all Of
a neutrality which is really strict and

fact that the good name of the Hell

of being besmirched.
"Switzerland is neutral, and must
henceforth remain so toward all bel
ligerents without exception. That is
the motive which alone will guide the

captured q strong fortifcation, known
as "The Cavern OF the Dragon" did the
Germans attempt any counter thrusts.
Hindenburg evidently is reserving his
power TO meet the expected British
blow. That he looks for this to fall in
Flanders is indicated BY the fact that
the German batteries for several days
have been shelling villages back Of the
Belgian lines. Dunkirk was also shelled
BIZ German long range guns to-day.
Meanwhile. though observation con
ditions in Artois and Flanders were
poor to-day. the oepposing patrols were
active, Haig's men driving into the
