German Papers Tell People
America Is Terrorized. Hid.

The German people now are being
treated to mental pictures of American
cities and summer resorts on the At
lantic coast reduced to the plight of the
ruined towns of Belgium and northern
France. They are told that panic reigns
in New York, that the people every
where are beginning to realize what it
means to invoke the displeasure of the
victorious" forces of the all-highest.

the marrow of Wilson's bones turn

them.
They hear that only the censorship
of the Navy Department concealing the
great losses to shipping, prevents even
greater alarm in the United States
These things are being published in
the German papers anent the opera

American coast The State Department
received them through official channels
and they were more interesting than
many German press comments ca bled

the German press, a neutral organ. the

discouraging.
Except for lack of secrecy, the Aus
trians organized this supreme effort Of
theirs better than might have been ex-
pected It was well planned and reso-
lutely delivered. The credit due the Ital-
ians in all the greater for repulsing it
completely in many places, containing 1t
in others and nowhere allowing 1t to
break through.
The sector on which the enemy gained
most ground Is on the Piave There the
Austrians made three principal cross
ings of the river and established three
bridseheads or salients into the original
Italian line.
To make this possible. they blinded the
Italian artillery and airplanes by using
great quantities of smoke shells. which
covered the river and the Italian
trenches on its bank with a dense fog
Thus hidden. the Austrian patrols hur-
ried across the water in boats and on
RATS under no more than a random fire
from the defense.
Having reached the western bank,
they pulled pontoon bridges across and
pushed re-enforcements rapidly forward
The most notable of these crossings
has been the enemy's penetration In the
Montello sector the positions which the
British forces held all last winter
AS General Plumer pointed out in his
dispatch, Montello is Of particular I'm
portance because it Is the hinge between
the mountain and the Piave sectors OF
the Italian front. 1t stands out, in fact
at the angle where the Piave leaves the
mountains and enters the Venetian
plain.
Montello is a curious hill It is ar

AUSTRIANS REORCANIZE
BEFORE BRITISH LINE

LOnuOU. uHe 10.
An official statement on the operation
of the British with the Italians says the
Austrians are reorganizing their effec-
tives along the British line after their
severe defeat"
The statement says:
There is little change on the British
front. The artillery battle has died down
and the enemy is reorganizing after his
severe defeat.
Captured maps show that his objec-
tives were very ambitious; they included
the capture of Pau and Gina di Fonte.
We captured four mountain guns.
forty-three machine guns and seven
fammenwerfers.
considering the severity of the bCm-
bardment and the intensity of the fight
ing. our casualties were very slight
"Austro-Hungarian pressure continues
very strong along the entire Italian
front. says a semiofficial dispatch from
Rome. The enemy is concentrating his
most powerful attacks astride the River
Brenta and across the Piave
"A high British army officer inter-
viewed last night by Reuters corre-
spondent with the British army in Italy
expressed himself satisfied in every way
with the result OF the Austro- Hungarian
attack against the British forces. He
said

men to our one.

more than a few miles south of the
river by fierce Italian counter-attacks.

CLAIMED BY AUSTRIA
Vienna. June Is, via London,


An official statement says the Aus
trians have captured Capo Sile. on the
southern end of the Pave line and on
the west side of the river. and also have
gained ground to the west of San Dona
d Piave.
The statement reads:
Fighting activity on the Venetian
mountain front was considerably limited
yesterday owing to the weather. Not
withstanding violent attacks west of the
Brenta River, our Alpine regiments
maintained the mountain positions they
had taken on the previous day.
Tn the high region of Montello our
divisions advanced to the westward,
fighting their way.
"On both sides of the Oderzo-Treviso
railway strong counter-attacks broke
down.
"Our forces wrested from the enemy
more ground west of San Dona di Piave
and captured Capo Sile.
THE number of prisoners brought in
on the southwestern front has been in
creased to 1900"

The Austrians are aided by some con-

continue to pour considerable forces to-
ward Italy. according to reports re-
ceived here It Is said that trains from
Innsbruck. Botzen and Trent are crowd
ed with troops going southwark. and
that the ordinary traffic on the railroads
has been suspended.
The new Austro-German headquar-
ters, the report adds. is established Just
behind the Settle Comuni region. Fol-
lowing the example of the Germans with
the AlSatianS and Lorrainians, the Aus
trians are placing Slav irredentist regi-
ments in the first and most dangerous
lines. with Tyrolese troops behind them
in order to prevent wholesale desertions.
Vienna newspapers received here de-
vote large headlines to alleged successes
by the Austrians. They deny that the
offensive was ordered by Berlin but say
it is due entirely to the foresight and
preparations of the Austrian headquar-
ters staff.
