CHARLES DECIDES TO HOLD CABINET
 FOR THE PRESENT
In Meantime Entrusts Won Seydler With Management
 ' of Austrian Affairs.
VON TWARDOWSKI
 WILL PROBABLY GO
Dr. Yertel, Democrat Elect ed Chairman of Polish
 Club, Report Says.

Amsterdam, June 24-Emperor Charles, says a Vienna dispatch, has reserved his decision regarding the resignation of the Austrian cabinet. In the meantime, he entrusts Premier von Seydler with the further direction of affairs.
 ''As it is my intention while firmly adhering to the confident relations of the parties which hitherto have al- ways stood up internationally for the interests of the state, to first examine all the possibilities as to how an ar rangement of public affairs could be observed, I reserve decision respect ing the request of resignation, and meanwhile entrust you with the fur ther direction of affairs
 A Vienna dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin, says the Emperor undoubtedly will refuse to accept the resignation of the Won Seydler cab inet, which will remain as constituted, except probably for the Polish minis try, Herr Won Twardowski, who will retire. It is problematc, however, whether Commerce Minister Von Weiser and Minister of Agriculture Tronca will be able to reconcile their differences and work in harmony un- til autumn. Dr. Tertal, democrat, the dispatch adds, has been elected chairman of the Polish club.
 Discussing events which led up co the resignation of the Austrian cab inet a Vienna dispatch to the Vos- sische zeitung Of Berlin says that Baron Burian, the Austro- -Hungar- ian foreign minister took the posi- tion that he was unable to make a declaration against the cession ot East Galicia, as the Poles demanded because it was a purely internal af- fair. Premier Won Seydler was ready to declare that the partition ot Galicia should come only by consti- tutional methods, namely, a two thirds majority in the reichsrath. The Poles, however, demanded ar expressed declaration that partition was out of the question and also de- manded binding promise from the German parties regarding an Austro- Polish solution.

DARING Of U. $. AIRMEN PLAY BIG PART IN DEFEAT
Work of Americans Notable Feature in Disorganizing
 Forces of Foe on Piave. HEROIC DEEDS OF
 ITALIANS RECORDED Behind Lines Cities Are Un- disturbed, Venice Being Called Sleeping Beauty

Italian Army Headquarters, Sunday, June 23-The work of the American aviators who ap- peared on the front last week for the first time contributed notably to the disorganization of the Austrian forces which had crossed the Piave, accord ing to Raffaele Garinei, cor respondent of the Milan Sec olo.
 Cruelty harassed by steady and ac- curate artillery fire. compelled to face bayonet attacks by the Italians and being constantly bombed by allied avi- ators, flying low in defiance of ma chine gun and anti-aircraft fire, the Austrians have been fighting recently with the courage of desperation. Local counter attacks have been launched without regard for losses against the Allied trenches on the Montello pla- teau but have been everywhere broken by the granite resistence interposed by the foes progress. N-
 
 passed yesterday, but the falling waters came too late to relieve the positions of the Austrians.
 The inundation was 16 feet above the low water mark.
 Along the lower Piave Italian press ure has been constant. The tired enemy has been given no rest, al. ! though the fighting has been inter- | mittent, owing to the >fact thai 1 neither side has been able to see more than 50 yards through the heavy i bushes and tall swamp grasses grow. l ing in the lowlands.
 The heroic deeds of the Italians in the fighting upon the Carso plateau, east of the Izonso are recalled by the repeated examples of valor and en- durance shown in the present strug- gle With the Italian armies along the front there is only stern inten- tion to do or die.
 There is no effervescent boasting; no victory shouts, but a realization that harder fighting may yet come.
 '"The word Piave' is being written in blood-red letters on Austrian hearts," said a dust-colored, sweat stained Italian officer, who has been fighting every day for a week with scarcely any rest save for Friday an6 Saturdays lull in the mighty contest | for the banks of the river.
 "We are saving the shouting until Austria's plunder expedition is de- feated," said 70-year old Deputy Banchette, who is spending his time as an AIpini officer tramping to anG from among the soldiers, telling them victory is the one way to secure peace. Behind the lines the civilian population is being undisturbed there being only a few refugees. The cities are calm, Venice appearing like a sleeping beauty. The American colony there as been reduced to 2 handful, consisting of the American consul and the Red Cross and Y. M c. A. workers.

JOY IN LONDON
 OVER NEWS OF
 AUSTRIAN ROU7
Reports From italian Com mander- in Chief Regarded
 As Heartening to Allies.

London, June 24-The laconic bull letin from General Diaz announcing that the defeated Austrians are re- treating in disorder. with the Italians imp ursuit is the most heartening news received in Allied countries in many months. Although nothing is yet known as to the exact extent of the Austrian defeat or how far the Italians and the Allies may be in a position to take full advantage of it, the statement of the Italian com mander in chief is hailed with enthu- siasm by the morning newspapers.
 Public opinion here had been pre- pared by the progress of the opera tions since the first days of the fight ing, to hope that Italy was destined to redeem tn grievious disaster suffered last October and as each day of the battle passed hope began to grow into confidence.
 Austrian claims in the meantime did little or nothing to lessen this confi- dence and when the Austrian com munique of Sunday was received with its lament regarding floods in the Piave, observers here saw in it an in- tention to prepare the people of the Central powers for painful news.
 Comment in some quarters here as- sumes that the defeat on the Piave will have an important influence on operations on the western front, it being supposed that the aim of the Central powers in the offensive was to destroy the Italian power of re- sistance so that the Austrian army might be transferred to France as a counterpoise to the Americans.
