 The Austrian losses on the Monte1lo and at San Dona Di Piave were par ticularly heavy after the first two days of the offensive, owing to the fierce ness of the attacks at these two points

 Along the Piave, especially on the Montello plateau. the gateway to the Venetian plains from the northwest and at several points farther south, where the Austrians succeeded in crossing the river, the Italians everywhere imposed such strength against the enemy that he was unable to enlarge his gains and then, with redoubled efforts, forced him to commence the retrOgrade movement which has developed into disordered flight.
 Large numbers of the enemy have been reported as coming up behind the northern line in the mountain region and 1t Ia not inn probable that shortly the second phase of the battle will bexin.
