Austria7s Lose at
End of First Phase
OF Great Offensive
BY The Associated Press

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
June 22--An official communication
published by the Stefani Bureau rec
ognizes the first phase Of the battle
has definitely ended, with the enemy
at a positive disadvantage 1t esti-
mates the Austro- Hungarian losses at
100000, and declares that if the
enemy desires to attain his detectives
1t will be necessary to begin a new
offensive, as thus far he has not at
tanned any essential position Of mill
tary value.
The com runication sets forth again
the detectives which the Austrlans had
fixed for their advance. and points out
that the idea that these detectives
could be wen was due to the strange
conviction of the commanding generals
that the Italians would not fight.
THE only result obtained" continues
The statement, was the disruption Of
fifteen of their divisions, in exchange
tor the advance of the Italian lines Of
lima di Rosso, whereas another thirty
divisions barely gained two and half
miles upon Monticello, and the same dis
tance at San Dona, for which they paid
4 terrible price"

PARIS, June Ex-senator
Henri Berenger, member of
the Army Committee of the Sen
ate, in the "Matin" to-day ex-
plains the statement made to the
Chamber of Deputies by Premier
Clemenceau that the French
fought in the ratio of one against
five on the Chemin des Danes. as
referring to a particular mo-
ment on a particular section Of
the front, after the surprise at
tack had aggravated the unequal
conditions.
"1n reality" writes the Sena-
tor, I'VE are fighting with about
100000 men against 100000.
Perhaps we are few hundred
thousand less numerous, but the
Americans are arriving in such
numbers that the numerical diff
ference certainly will be made
up in a few weeks"
Senator Berenger then deals
with other factors as regards ef-
fectives, arguing that the French
have seen mistaken in using their
forces.

of the lower Piave Italian cavalry is
being used to help push the enemy
back. They are aided by armored cars
carrying machine guns.
The rising waters of the Pave and
the activity of the Italian artillery are
making it difficult for the Austrians to
obtain food. While the water carries
some bridges away and damages 9TH
ers, the gunners are sinking boats and
hammering the damaged bridges and
floats.
The chief of staff of a certain divi-
sion got tired of sitting behind the
lines and listening to telephone re-
ports OF the progress of the fighting.

precarious to them because of the
flooded river in their rear.
The Austrians have been for days
on the defensive, the last Italian
counter attacks having given the
defenders the initiative.
In regard to the losses during the
first week of the great offensive, the
italian military authorities say that
each side suffered approximately an
equal number of casualties. The
Austrian claims, according to re-
ports found in possession of prison
ers, were that the Italians had sus-
tanned much the greater losses.
