DEFEAT IS COMPLETE

The defeat of the Austrian armies on the western bank of the Piave river is complete. Admission is made by the Austrian war office that the troops of Emperor Charles have been forced to evacuate the Montello plateau, over which they had hoped to press their way and gain the Venetian plains, and "some sectors" of the positions they at tained last week on the bank of river between the plateau and the piont where the stream empties into the Adriatic.
 Bad weather and the rising of the Piave under the heavy rain falls are assigned as the reasons for the with drawal of the Austrians. But the Rome war office asserts that it was the i'm petus attacks of the Italians that brought about the failure of an oper- ation which was started with the inten- tion of crushing the armies of General DiaZ and fcrcing the Italians. like the Russians, to accept a teutonic allied peace
 All along the river the Italians have pressed back the invaders of their ter ritOry until only small units remain on the western bank and across the stream, King Victor EmmanueFs men are keeping well on the heels of the retreating enemy who is fleeing in dis order. Again the artillery has been thrown into the fighting and is hrrass- ing the enemy, while machine guns from the ground and from aircraft, some of the latter operated by Amer ican aviators, are working havoc among the fleeing Austrian columns.
 The losses to the enemy are de- scribed as enormous. both in men killed wounded or madep risoner. An official statement from Rome to the Italian embassy in Washington asserts

Judge Landis Refuses to Ad- init 'I. w. w. Bible" as Evidence and Consternation Reigns as Result
(By Review Leased wire)

CHICAGO. June 24.-Federal Judge Landis dealt a hard blow to the de fense in the I. W. W. trial today. counsel admitted. when he barred from evidence the eleven volume re- port of the federal industrial relations commission of which Frank P Walsh was chairman.
 The commissions report is known as the "I ". w. bible' according to George w. Vanderveer, chief counsel for the defense, and on it's findings the l. w. W. based its entire course of dealing with the industrial situation according to Mir. Vanderveer.
 The attorney in making his open ing statement of the case for the de- fendants who are charged with sedi- tious conspiracy denied that the l. ". w. had attempted to attack the gov ernment. He declared it the purpose of the l. W. w. to destroy the existing industrial situation. It was to lay foundation of his case that the lawyer sought to submit in evidence the |. w. w. bible published in 1915. He declared the Walsh report was ihe guiding light" of the l. w. W. mem bers in all that they did
 Judge Landis refused to allow the defense to go into a general inquiry on industrial conditions. The jury was out of the court room much of the time while the attorneys argued over the admission of evidence. The fudge refused even to allow a digest of the Walsh report as prepared by James p. Thompson. one of the defend- ants. to be introduced.
 Attorney Vanderveer said the in- dictments charged the defendants with conspiring to start strikes 10 oOstruct the governments war work. He de- clared it would be necessary to prove the intent Of the defendants to inter fere with production of copper, lumber and other supplies for government work
