Rome, June 29.-Lively artillery ac-
tivity has developed upon the Asiago
plateau, the Italian war Office an
nounced today.
Three more Austrian airplanes have
been shot down.
Washington, June 29.-Between Co.
900 and 10000 Austrians were killed in
the battle of the Piave, an official dis
patch from Rome this afternoon stated.
Their corpses line the entire front, al
though the Italians have buried 10000
of them and thousands more were
buried by their comrades. To the list
must be added the huge number car
ried down by the Piave.
IF in this battle" says the dis
patch, 'the usual relation between
dead and wounded existed, we can be
certain that the Austrians lost in dead
and wounded not less than 250,o00
men. To this sum we must add up
wards of 10000 prisoners"
In the absence of any official infor-
nation dealing with the latest British
advance Gen. March Would not at
tempt to interpret the situation or to
make any explanations concerning it.
However, he said that the general sit
uation along the entire western front
was extremely favorable to the allies.
The general refused to give any fig
ures at this time on increases of the
number of American troops in or on
the way to France. He said that he
would have something to say about
this later and this was interpreted to
mean that ii will come in the form of
a Fourth of July statement.
