DEFEAT OF AUSTRIANS COM
PLETE.

Italy Ablaze With Enthusiasm and
Joy-Operation Started With In.
tention of Crushing Italian Armies
Failed.
Italy was ablaze with enthusiasm
and joy Monday, according to dis
patch, as the result of the Italian vic
tory along the Piave.
Austrian losses in the retreat a.
cross the Piave included an "appall-
ing number" Of troops killed, more
than 10000 made prisoners, and an
enormous amount of war booty, said
a report from Gen. Diaz, the Italian
commander, Monday night.
Tuesdays press summary says:
The defeat of the Austrian armies
on the western bank of the Piave riv-
er is complete. Admission is made
by the Austrian war office that the
troops of Emperor Charles have been
forced to evacuate the Montello pla-
teau, over which they had hoped to
press their way and gain the Venetian
plains and "some sectors" of the po-
sitions they attained last week on the
bank of the river between the plateau
and the point where the stream emp
ties into the Adriatic.
Bad weather and the rising of the
Piave under the heavy rainfall are
assigned as the reasons for the with
drawal of the Austrians. But the
Rome war office asserts that it was
the impetuous attacks Of the Italians
that brought about the failure of an
operation which was started with the
intention Of crushing the armies of
Gen. Diaz and forcing the Italians like
the Russians, to accept Teutonic al
lied peace.
