LONDON. June s@.-An italian
military authority said to
THE SUN correspondent to-day:
"The Austrian retreat was due
to the intense pressure exerted
against the Austrian lines since
the beginning Of the offensive.
Therefore it is great military
victory for the Allies, for the
pressure was so unrelenting that
after the enemy crossed the Piave
he did not have a moment to
draw his breath and he was held
where he crossed by our counter
attacks.
"At the same time it must be
remembered that the geographi-
cal situation Of the Italian line
to-day is such that it would be
mistake to expect the Italian
troops to follow up their success
and develop it into a strategic
offensive. To do this it would
mean that in order to hold any
new gains the Italians might
make on the plains they would
have to extend enormously their
mountain front, which is their
flank. 1t must be remembered
also that the Austrians have ap-
proximately twenty divisions
which are fresh and have not
been employed in the offensive
movement.
ut is probable that unless the
!Austrians have suffered dis
astrous defeat they will resume
the offensive on the Asiago
Plateau or the Trentino 'front.'"
