A War Department telegram, deliv-
cred yesterday to Mrs. Mary Zeuner, of
6O4 East Hist Street, The Bronx, mere
ly confirmed her premonition that her
son, John Patrick Zeuner, a member of
an infantry regiment Of the regular
army. had been wounded. The wound
was severe, the telegram said.
ut was abount June g." said Mrs
Zeuner, chat had premonition that
my boy was wounded. Then, on June

who had been severely wounded, and
was so convinced that one of the two
was John that clipped the piece from,
the paper and still have It,"
In q letter which her son wrote on
May 13 he said: "The Dutchmen have
nothing on us. One American is equal
to. three Dutchmen." To prove his
point, he said that he shot three Ger
mans to pay for bullet one of them
sent through his he1met. ~ shot three
OF them,"' he wrote, "to make sure OF
getting the right one."
Oscar Segal, who also was severely
wounded, lives with his mother at 1880

member of an infantry regiment of the
regular army.

trenches again." he wrote recently
"Gn our first time in the trenches we
didn't have much excitement, but this
time We had plenty of it. Some of the
boys in my company were decorated
with the Croix de Guerre to-day, and
mean to get one of them on our next
trip into the trenches"
Herbert V. Price, named in the casu-
atty list Sunday as having died OF
wounds, enlisted in the 26th In
fantry at the age of sixteen, when
two years ago. On Mothers Day he
wrote to his mother, who lives at 27a
St. AIMS Avenue, The Bronx:

wrong party when he bothered with

The parents of Harry M. Cuff. nine
teen years old, of Company l., 9th
United States Infantry, have received
word that he was severely injured in
France on June 13. In letter re-
ceived by his mother on Mothers Day
at her home, 205 Eighth Street, Jersey
City, young Cuff intimated that he
might soon be made corporal. No
details were given of his injury.
Edward B. Rosky, an infantryman,
died recently at the base hospital at
Camp Mcclellan, Admission, Ala, ac-
cording to word received at his home
in Orange, N. j. He was nineteen
years old and lived at Wallace Street,
Orange. He formerly was a member

serving in Company c, I'd Battalion,
Tank Corps, of the British expedition
forces. He tried to enlist several times
in this country, and after being re-
jected went to Canada and was accept
ed. An older brother, Charles, is now

New-York tribune., 1918-06-25

troops to italy is difficult one. Not
only will the withdrawal of men from
france weaken the whole offensive ef-
1ore there at time when American
aid, the arrival of Italian divisions and
other measures are beginning to place
at General Foch's disposal enough re-
serves 70 enable him to strike hard at
any weakened point, but the transpor-
tation of a sufficient force to offset
the Italian victory must necessarily be
slow.
Secretary Baker pointed out to-day
that the Italians under General Diaz,
fresh from successful check of the
Austrian advances, took quick and
full advantage of the rise of the Piave
behind the enemy. Indications are
that the flower of the Austrian army,
employed in forcing the crossing, has
been virtually annihilated and the
Italians are driving home their victory
relentlessly.
Food Riots Become Serious
Every day means further disorgani-
cation among the Austrians at the
present rate. German reinforcements
must arrive quickly and in force,
many officers believe. unless the Aus
TRAN war machine is to be crippled
Tor months to come at least.
Meanwhile, official reports show the
growing seriousness of the food riot
| ing in Austria. The people apparently
are in no condition to stand a great
military reverse such as that they
must now face. Immediate German
action to support her ally seems alb
so!utely necessary in the view of Of
flclals here, unless the back door to
Berlin itself is to be left unguarded.
There have been many signs recent
~ that General Foch was rapidly get
ting into shape a strong reserve force.
The employment of the American and
Italian divisions has served to release
French shock troops for rest and re-
habilitation.
There are indications also that the
effect OF British man power legislation
is to be felt at the front. The di-
visions which suffered severely in the
German assaults apparently have been
out of the line for some time. The re-
cent successful resistance of the Ital-
lans near Rheims was in positions for
merly held bv these British units.
Speculate ON Foch Move
Whether General Foch is prepared to
take advantage of the diversion caused
by the Austrian disaster cannot he
foretold. Some observers here, includ-
ing Italian officials, believe that the
situation on the Italian front is so
grave for the Germans that they will
be compelled to transfer their main
operations to that theatre. leaving only
defensive forces in the West.
Some officials here, however, expect
the Germans to hit hard in France in
order to cover whatever other stems
they are compelled to take for the re-
lief Of Austria. Repeated blows along
the Allied front, it is argued, would
tend TO- keep General Foch from in
auguratlng an ;nter-Allied offensive in
great counter drive in France. "
The accelerated movement Of Ameri-
can troops to France is going ahead
without confusion: There is certainty
excess of 100000 men me will have sa1e beem IN
shipped before July i. Originally it
was not hoped to reach this figure, but
the shipping obtained from Great Brit
ain mas proved sufficient to increase the

Hlaire Belloc's View of the Battle

counting all the bends Of the river,
man to yard. There has been no
heavy artillery reported on the west
bank, though it is just possible that
there are some pieces over at San
Dona. There should not, therefore,
be anything especially difficult in the
retiring of such force, always pro-
vided that the number Of bridges is
sufficient
The enemy has gone nowhere far
from the stream, save in front Of
the bridge at San Dona, where the
maximum advance was rather over
1000 yards.
Still more important than the con-
fession of military failure is it's po-
litical effect, considering the present
state of the civilian population in
Austria Hungary. But of that, un-
fortunately, we cannot have direct
news.
1t will probably be found that the
event which precipitated the retire
n1ent was the success of our allies in
crossing the Old Piave below the
bridge which the enemy established
west of San Dona. 1t will be re-
membered that a combined force of
Italian soldiers and sailors seized po-
sitions east of tie Old Piave near it's
mouth as early as last Friday. And
the threat of a further advance east
ward of such force may have been
sufficient to compel the Austrian re-
tirement at the only point where they
seriously threatened to turn the Ital-
ian line.

Italian Victory May Block
German Offensive in F france
People of United States Watching With Enthusiasm and
Admiration the Exploits of Your Brave Army"
Baker Cables Rome

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Germany's
entire offensive programme may have
been upset, is the opinion of some off,
GERS here, by the crushing defeat of the
Austrians along the Piave River.
Official reports reaching Washing
ton bear out the picture Of the Aus
trian dispatch given in press accounts
from Italy, although the full extent
of the Italian success is not yet ap-
parent. 1t is regarded as certain, how
ever, that the Central Powers have
been dealt blow that will further
shake the morale Of their people and
probably will compel the German high
command to make complete readjust-
ment Of it's plans in France.
Secretary Baker showed the signif-
canoe attached here to the defeat of
the Austrians when he sent the follow
ing message to-day to the American
Ambassador at Rome for transmission
to the Italian Minister of War:
1.-THE people of the United States
are watching with enthusiasm and ad-
miration the splendid exploits Of the
great army of Italy in resisting and
driving back the enemy forces which
recently undertook a major offensive
on the Italian front. l take great
pleasure in rendering my own hearty
congratulations. and would be most
happy to have a message Of greeting
and congratulation transmitted to Cen
eral Diaz and his brave soldiers"
Affects Events in France
Mr.. Bakers message was sent be-
fore the Secretary had received addi-
tional reports from the Italian front
showing the increasing scope of the
Austrian disaster. 1t was prompted by
the fact that the enemy was in retreat
across the Piave and before the news
came that the Italians had smashed
up the retreating foe, making the re-
tirement a disorgauized rout. There
is no doubt here now that the victory
will prove to be one of the most de-
cisive in character of the whole war.
Army officers agreed with the view
feat could not help but influence great
ly the course of events in France. 1t
is regarded as vital from the German
point of view that the Italian front be
made secure before German designs in
France can be prosecuted to their
fullest development. While there is
imminent danger that the Austro-Hun-
garian government may collapse, Ger
many cannot devote herself wholly to
the task she has undertaken of fore
ing victory in the West before Ameri-
can man power can swing the scales
finally against her.
Germany Rushing Troops
For this reason, both at the War De.
partment and in diplomatic circles
there was much speculation as to the
moves to support Austria already taken
by the German high command. There
is little doubt that reports of large
German troop movements to Italy are
we'll founded, as it is believed the
situation must be restored there at all
costs. unless the whole great offensive
in France is to fall of its own weight.

\SpecsdI Dispatch to Tbs Tribune)
'Copyr1sht. 1918. by Tho Tribune Association)
LONDON, June 24.-The only
military news this morning is so
simple In its Importance that it defies
analysis and we can only await fur
taer details to appreciate the result.
VI course yesterday the Allied air
craft observed the retirement of the
Austrian columns over the tempo
rary bridges on the Piave. This re-
tirement included the abandonment
CT Montello.
The central crossings between
Montello and the coastal area are of
less Importance and their abandon
ment followed as matter of course.
While awaiting further details we
may note the following points, which
/ will explain when the news reaches
US later.
The total of the Austrian forces
acting from Lake Garda to the sea.
including all the local reserves, is
probably not far short of 100000
men. Of these rather more than
half were actively engaged in the ef-
forts which now have broken down.
And Of these, again, about 10000 are
estimated by our allies to have
crossed the Piave between and in
Guiding the Mcntello and San Dona
bridges.
The congestion Of the retreat will
depend entirely upon the provision
of bridges. Seventy thousand men
is, roughly for the distance involved.

American Army Opinion
Favors Crushing Blow
on Danube Front
Italy Is Not Equal
To Task Without Aid
Chance to Bring Russia In
Again and Cut OFF
Turkey and Bulgaria
BY c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, June 24.--Military
opinion here is that the floods which
prevented Austria from supporting the
men she threw across the Piave also
viii hamper Italy in undertaking a
great counter offensive. The floods
which contributed to Austria's defeat
probably will in the end save Austria.
None the less, the moral effect of
what Italy has done will be tremen-
dous. Hungry Austria has been told
that beyond the Piave lay food and
loot. She does not get food and loot.
On the contrary, she has lost large
number of men, great military stores
and many cannon. Starvation and
racial dissensions will be felt more
eravely in the hour of defeat. The in
tsrnal condition of Austria will be
made worse.
The parallel between Russia and
Austria, the weak partner of the En-
tente and the weak partner Of the
Teutonic allies, holds to the point Of
the next move. When the forced Rus
sian offensive failed, Germany attacked
and carried the war into the heart Of
Russia until the country cried for and
