U. S. Troops Will Join
Italians Early in July;
Rome Is Encouraged

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Monday. June 24.-American
troops will be in Italy probably early
in July. according to notification Civ
en- to the Italian authorities by State
Senator Cotillo of New York. who is
here on an official mission.
This announcement of direct partic-
ipation of American units alongside
the forces now fighting in Italy has
produced an encouraging effect.
Announcement that American troops
were to be sent to Italy was made re-
Gently by Secretary Baker. but for
military reasons the plans regarding
the expedition have not been made
public. So far as is known it has not
been determined whether a force
would be sent direct from the United
States or from the expditionary forces
in France.
1t is not believed that a very large
force will be sent as the expedition
would be more for the purpose of eff
fecting unity in arms on all fronts
than for reinforcing the Italians.
who have ample man power. Ameri-
can aviators already are fighting on
the Italian front, and others soon are
to go.

The silence of death. it might be
said, prevails today along the greater
part of the Piave river region. The
scene at some places where the fight
ing had been extremely severe. such
as the "Montello region, was one of
awful confusion. From this region to
the sea also every little village near
the fighting line was a ruin. with
hardly a house with one stone or
brick left in place. the dead being
mixed up with the heaps of debris in
an ineXtricable tangle.
e Men who are familiar with the
Ypres and other sectors in Flanders
and likewise with the swamps on the
Russian front state that nothing
worse in the way of death and de-
struction and confusion had ever been
witnessed there than in these river
regions in northeastern Italy. The
Piave river situation now is as it was
before the Austrian offensive began
on June Is, except that the Italians
are making progress in extending
their bridgeheads at Capo Sile.

Artillery Fire Effective.

The Italian official statement in the
past week has frequently emphasized the
cruel losses inflicted on the Austrians.
Among sixteen prisoners taken at one
time on Montello for instance 1t was OBJ
served that they belonged to no less than
seven different regiments. Prisoners re-
port that serious losses were caused by
the Italian artillery, trench bombs and
machine guns. The 18th Schuetzen
Division is reported to have lost fifty
men from each company on an average
From the first day of the offensive
Italian morale was of the highest

The secret of the Italian victory
seems to lie in immediate counter at

counter attacks being followed up by
counter onensives all along the line.
Thus. the enemy was never given anv

IMPORTANT DECISIONS
ON RENTAL QUESTIONS
Isues Involved in Salisbury Reso-
luton Are Cleared Up by
Judge Doyle.

Several important decisions in con-
pertaining to rentals of properties in
the District Of Columbia were rem
dered by Judge Michael in the NUM-
cipal Court today and yesterday
afternoon.
In the case Of Rudolph B. Behrend
against Samuel Davis. who was al
legged to have subletted his apart
ment in the Fillmore, 1929 New
Hampshire avenue. in that he accom-
modated two soldiers, Judge Doyle
decided that there was no violation of
a lease. He held that in this case the
lessee Of the apartment was only
lodging the soldiers.
Who Serves Noticep
The new owner of a property must
serve a notice to vacate on the occu-
pant Of the property and not on the
former owner or his agent, Judge
Doyle held in the case OF the Albert
Carry properties against William j..
Brewer.
A much disputed point occurred in
the case of Thomas J. Fisher & Co.
against Walter Atlee. 1t was decided
that the plaintiff could not obtain
possession of the disputed premises
because 1t was not proved that the
sale to a bona fide purchaser had been
completed.
Important Interpretation.
In the case of Shannon & Luchs
against e. r. Lewis in connection

the decision was the Interpretation
of the word necessarily require" in
the Salisbury resolution. The court
ruled that the phrase meant the por-
chaser must necessarily require the
