 VIENNA, Via London), June 21.-The Austrian official com munication issued today says:
 Yesterday the enemy continued his attacks with undiminished vio- lence to wrest from us the sue cesses we won west of the Piave. His efforts again were vain. All his assaults have been broken down before the unflinching resis- tance of our heroic troops.
 "The struggle on the Carso pIa- teau and on the MontelIo increased to special violence. Field Marshal Zegiger's divisions in their hastily constructed trenches destroyed waves of enemy storming troops. Everywhere our troops stood their ground in hand to hand fighting.
 "On a front of 12 kiIoneters the --7my concentrated thrusting troops amounting to eight regi- ments in order to shake the wall formed by our brave men. The tremendous consumption of their power forced the Italians to throw reserves after reserves into the battle. Apart from their sanguin- ary losses the number of prisoners also increased daily. Thirty two hundred prisoners were captured in the last fighting day but me on the Montelo alone. Of these D. co were taken by a single Hungar- ian infantry regiment.
 The Hungarian regiments, Aus trian reserves and Hunqarian Honveds have added a new and honorable page to their glorious history of the war.

PRISONER SLEEPER EXPLAINS WHY BEST
 MEN FACE SAMM|ES

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. June 21.-CBy the Associat- ed Press).-Just why the formidable German 2S0th division was placed in front of the American troops northwest of Chateau Thierry, and also why a prize regiment of that division now is in the front line, is shown by a letter taken from a prisoner The letter was written June 10, by Grenadier Land auer. of the Grenadiers regiment, one hundred and ten, to his relatives in Germany. 1t is Grenadier Landauer, himself, who is the prisoner, and his letter is eloquent testimony as to the impression that the Americans have made on the German emperors best troops. The letter reads: Americans Achieve Success AS far as my health is con- cerned, I am faring well-and that is the most important thing. We are again in the front line because the American division opposite us has achieved some success and we, as a model division, are to make good this loss.
 At the present moment we are | lying in reserve in a small wood l where we have made dugouts and furnished them with all sorts of stuffs from a nearby inn. Of course we are getting all sorts of knocks from the enemy artillery which, especially at night, shoots at us accurately.
 Two Weeks is Enough
 Up to now, everything has gone
 pretty well, but we hope to be re- | leVed soon and get some rest If one has been for more than 14 days
 in this miX-up, one has more than l sufficient
 For the present, I am still in
 good spirits and even if one does
 lose ones head at times one must .I pull ones self together again. Bet
 ter times will come and then all the

 press us will be forgotten. I have
 heard with joy that no harm came
 to you through the acts of enemy
 aviators."

SWIRLING FLOOD BALKS AUSTRIA,S
 DRIVE IN ITALY
Piave River Comes to Aid
 Of Allies, Tearing Up
 Communicating Lines of Enemy; Expect New Drive

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN NORTHERN ITALY, June 21.-(By the Associated Press) Fresh rains have turned the Piave river into a swirling yellow flood, which moves silently but swiftly, dealing a fateful blow to the Austrians on it's western bank, tearing up the communicating lines and preventing succor being given the shattered divisions strug- gling under the steady pounding of the Italian guns of the Duke of Acosta's third army.
 Austrians are Furious
 The satisfaction of the Italians over the present situation is matched only by the anger of the Austrian com mand. According to prisoners the swollen river has been the culmina- tion of series of difficulties which prevented the Austrians from making headway either on the Montello plateau or that section of the country Hing between the Treviso- Mestre and the San Dona di Piave- -Mestre railway lines, where the fighting has been hard and cruel all the week, with the Austrians sorely pressed at every point and harrassed on both sides of the river by the Italian small guns and also huge pieces be- longing to the navy mounted on floats which move about the waterway at will.
 New Offensive Coming It Is considered only a question of brief time before the Austrians will begin another offensive. It is said this time they probably will concen- trate their efforts. instead of scatter ing them as they did a week ago, when they followed the German plan of attempting to make a big general offensive over a long line before re- vealing their point of attack. | It is thought-that the plan was even dictated by General Ludendorff the German commander who did not realize .hat the AustIians were too weak to make such an attempt, as they not only lacked artillery but | local officers of the lower grade.
 Emperor is at Front | The presence of Emperor Charles on the Italian front is considered one of the signs leading to the belie that the Austrians will feel the neces- sity of renewing their attack. Besides the same desperate hunger reason ex- ists now as before and it will exis until the new harvest, not taking into account possible internal politica reasons.
 Allies Ready for Blow However, it is certain that new enemy attacks will be met with spir tied resistance not only by sthe Ital ians but by the other allied troops Should they strike the Asiago lin, held by the British, French and Ital ians. it is believed they will receiv, severe beating.
 We invite them to come over," i how one Italian officer views tn possibility of new Austrian efforts Commanding officers feel that th Austrians will make desperate at tempts as long as the Germans i France strive to obtain a decision Therefore the situation is viewe with seriousness.
