BY associated Press

Rome, Sunday, June 1.-THE Ital-
ian troops and their allies are hold
ing the enemy strongly, tenaciously
resisting him in the new offensive
and making repeated counterattacks,
said Premier Orlando in a statement
tonight in the Chamber of Deputies.
During the day the enemy by a
strong reaction hindered the coun-
ter-offensive pressure of our troops
and those of our allies on the Asiago
plateau and in the Monte Grippa re-
gion," said the Premier. The Aus
trians also attacked violently all
along the Piave in order to estab-
lish solid bridgeheads on the right
bank of the river.
Our troops, by tenacious resist
ance and repeated counterattacks
are strongly holding the enemy. The
struggle is most bitter on the east
ern slopes of Montello and to the
west of Sandona di Piavre.

Hoover Calls Short

chants found guilty of short weigh
ing. instrumentation of quality,
violation of pure food laws are guilty
of profiteering. 1t was stated.
'T believe short weighing the most
pernicious form of profiteering."
said Mr.. Hoover. ANY other trade
practice that shows the merchant
taking advantage of the consumer
implies the same tendency and
should be punished. 1t will be when
we get the evidence"
Retail butchers are said TO be the
most persistent offenders. Many
complaints have reached officials
from all parts of the country
The records of merchants charged
with profteering will be carefully ex-
amined by food ofIicials. II city or
town records show such offenders to
have been found guilty of similar
offenses within the last year, espe-
cially of short weighing, such. evi-
dence will be used az basis for

June 16.-Austrian troops which
forced the Piave river have been
driven back. The fighting along the
river is most intense. Nowhere else
along the front of attack has the
struggle been so severe as on the
PiaVe line. -.
one of the most brilliant of the
Italian actions was the defense of
the Monte Moschin salient, protect
ing the important Branta positions.
Here the Austrians suffered heavy
losses. Many of their machine guns
were captured
Now send us only four divisions
of Americans" the general added.
we will first shake hands and then
travel together into Austria"
The severity of the fighting on
Montegrippa may be understood
from the fact that the italian artil-
lery fired 100000 shells in twelve
hours.
