units forming our Second Army which in
cowardice retired without fighting or sur
rendered TO the enemy allowed the Austro-
Germany forces to breal; 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 sacred
soil Of our Fatherland We are withdraw
ing our lines according to the plans pre-
pared. All stores and depots in the evac-
uated places were destroyed.
The record Of many memorable battles
fought with success by our brave soldiers
during two and one-half years of war is
sufficient to assure the Commander-ln-Chief
that the army to which the honor and safety
Of the country are conhded will know how
to fulfill its duty"
If Italy's morale holds up it was regarded
as certain that Cadorna would be able to
make stand on the plains. Before that
time it was expected that Allied aid would
be reaching Italy.
The political effect of the German drive
was more feared here than the military
results The Italians are said to be out
numbered in men more than four to one
along virtually the whole of the attacking
front.
The Germans massed their men behind
the lines and smuggled guns into position
at night Their bombardment opened with
terrific fire from guns whose positions
by the Italians. No such artillery fire has
been attained by the Germo as since Nerdun
as that which was poured over the Italian
positions
.Outnumbered in guns and men, Cadorna s
troops from that time on were victims OF
a great war machine pursuing the same
tactics which the Germans so successfully
adopted i'm Rumania-and a war machine
led by the master who conducted that Ru-
manian ampaign-General Won Mackensen
How tremendous Is the driving power OF
this great machine is indicated in the fact
that several hundred square miles, won
inch by inch in Cadornas great oHensives
of last summer and during a general cam
paign that lasted three months, is now in
the enemy's hands after bare weeks push.
By enormous masslng of men and guns the
Germans simply smotherea the Italians.
They swarmed through mountain passes
their sheer weight toppled over Italian
defenses.
The Teutonic armies are now less than
ten miles from Udine, the Italian railroad
center. What Rome frankly declared was
the "cowardce" of certain of its units in
the second army permitted a Teutonic
flanking move which swept the enemy wedge
through the Italian lines. Gorilla was
retaken. The invaders crashed through to
the Italian plains, Ciyidale, an Italian
citN was taken.
1t is expected that Cadorna will make
every effort to form new defensive line
on the Tagliamento River, approximately
thirty miles back from the line on which
the fighting was in progress today. This
river is. the first natural defense barrier
in the plains section. With a comparatively
fiat terrain clear to this river there was
faint hope here today that the Italians
would be able to stop the German advance
much before that line.
France was relied upon TO make the first

Cabinet met last night for consideration
of the problem.
