INVADERS ROUTED
IN ITALIAN DRIVE.

LONDON, June 23.--The first
phase of the Austrian offensive has
ended In defeat. The culmination
of what was intended to be the
! crushing Of Italy between the Jaws
OF the Austrian pincers is the rout
of the invaders themselves.
With their backs to the swollen
piaYe river the Austrians for sew
eral days past had been trying to
word off the vicious counter-a attacks
of the Italians and save the situa-
tion. Now they are endeavoring to
ford the stream and reach safety
on Its eastern bank.
From the Montello plateau to the
Adriatic sea the enemy Is IN retreat.
Already his losses are estimated at
10000 men and the chances of his
escape without additional heavy cas-
ualties and men made prisoner seem
remote.
Large numbers Of the pontoon
bridges that the Austrians threw
across the Piave have been swept
away by the torrential stream. On
all the sectors Of the 33-mile front
where they gained edges of the
Venetian plain they are being sore
Is harassed by Italian guns and ma
chine gun fire and bombs .pf the
allied aviators, who have done such
notable execution since the attempt.
ed drive1 was started
Monster preparations had been
made hy the Austrlans for what was
TO be the death blow To King Victor
Emanuers men Thousands upon
thousands Of men. many of them
brought from the Russian and Ru-
manlan fronts, and guns and stores
in tremendous quantities for the
drive over a battle arc OF virtually
one hundred miles, running from
the Asiago plateau to the Piave riv-
er and then following that stream
to the sea had been brought up.
Undoubtedly the Austrian high
command had built largely for sue
cess oifS the belief that the italian
morale had been shattered when last
year their great pincers closed in
upon the Italian front and forced
back the line in a great semi-circle
from the Julian Alps to the piave
and from the mountains in the
north almost to the plains Of We
netia.

And somebody needs you 10 help In a
