gary is still rampant and there has
been little alleviation of the food
conditions. Failure of the Austrian
offensive probably will have an ap-
preciable effect on the situation in
the dual monarchy.
The Austrian cabinet is reported
to have decided to present collec-
tive resignation to the emperor.
Except for raids at night and in
the early morning hours there is no
activity on the front in France and
Flanders.
The American sectors are quiet.
The Germans show no intention of
again taking up q forward movement
but the next effort, like previous
ones, probably will begin unheralded
except by several hours of intense
bombardment.

Thursday, June 20

Austrian pressure on the front
from Lake Garda to the Adriatic is
growing weaker, although the fight
ING is still strenuous along the Piave
from Montello to the. sea.
Since Sunday the enemy has been
held in check on the Piave line and
has made no gains on the mountain
front while his loss in prisoners
alone has risen to 5000. Repeated
efforts to debouch from the west
bank of the river between Montello
and Sandona di Piave have been re-
pulsed and only around Capo Sile
have the Austrians made any prog
ress. .5
From Capo Sile the Austrians have
advanced to the Fossetta canal which
parallels the lowlands along the sea-
coast to Mestre, suburb of Venice.
Vienna claims the canal has been
crossed at some points southeast of
Meolo, but Rome reports that the
enemy advances have been repulsed.
Heavy fighting continues around
the Montello Plateau. The Austrians
have not yet gained control of this
dominating height nor have they ap-
parently had any success in attempt
ing to debouch on to the lower ground
at Sovilla, south of Nervesa.
River Has Risen
The waters of the Piave have come
to the aid of the strongly resisting
Italians and the British official state
ment on the fighting says the river
has risen suddenly. The rise has
been sufficient to carry away many
of the bridges Austrians ha dthrown
across the stream.
International conditions in Aus
tria: specially as regards food, are
causing trouble. The city council of
Vienna has protested against reduc-
ton of the bread ration and the la
Dor organizations in the Austrian cap
ital call for the "speediest general
peace"
The food supplies in Austria are
reported at the lowest ebb since 1914.
The German Crown Prince has not
repeated his attacks against Rheims
before which 10000 of his troops
were repulsed with heavy loss in a
night attack Tuesday. The front
there is again quiet and the French
maintain their positions.
East of Chateau Thierry, Amer
ican patrols have crossed the Marne.
in boats and bested enemy patrols
in encounters. In addition to killing
a large number of Germans, the
raiders brought back prisoners.
American bombing airplanes again
have bombarded Contains, railroad

The situation is apparently growing
beyond control Of the civil authori-
ties and martial law in the Austrian
capital is not unlikely. The workmen
continue to demand more bread and
the agitation is spreading. !Advices
received in neutral countries are to
the effect that the present trouble is
the most serious the Austrian gov
ernment has faced and. is causing
grave apprehension through the coun-
try. Germany appears unable to help
because it is faced with serious food
situation itself.
Subnormal fighting activity contin-
ues generally on the front in France
and Belgium. The American troops
appear to be the only ones who are
busy and the actions which have oc-
cupied them have not been extensive.
West of Montdidier American
troops in a short and desperate en-
gagement have cleaned out German
trenches and machine gun nests at
Cantigny. Most Of the Germans who
remained to fight the Americans were
killed while number were made
prisoners. Berlin officially claims that
German troops have penetrated the
American trenches at Seicheprey. Inc
falsity of this report is shown by a
dispatch from the American front
which says that the penetration
was only an attempted raid by ~
Germans.

Monday, June p

Shattered on the rock of Italian re-
sistance, the Austrian offensive has
turned into a retreat and from Mon
tello to the sea the enemy is hurry
ing back across the Piave before the
closely pursuing Italians.
Austria's defeat is being hailed
throughout Italy and allied countries,
not so much because of the Italian
victory but because of the awaken
ing of the Italian morale which was
shaken severely last fall by the
Austro- German offensive. Holding
the final barriers for the Venetian
plain and Lombardy, the Italians by
their steadfast resistance during eight
days of heavy fighting turned the
great enemy onslaught into disor-
derly repulse.
Whether the several enemy divis-
ions on the western bank of the Piave
will be able to escape capture or de-
struction in attempting to get across
the Piave to the opposite bank will
be the most interesting development
of the next few hours. The river is
swollen and Vienna in its latest COM

Austrian Losses HEAVY

Austrian losses have been heavy
and an Italian newspaper estimates
them at 100000. More than forty
Austrian divisions have been engaged
on the battle line and thirty of these
have suffered heavily. A report re-
ceived in London is to the effect that
twelve German divisions are to be
sent to Italy to take the place of an
equal number of Austrian divisions
to be transported to France.
Behind the fighting front the dual
monarchy is seething with discon-
tent over the food situation which
apparently shows no signs Of i'm
provement. DR.. Won Seydler, the
Austrian premier, who has attempt
ed to resign several times in the past
year, is reported on the way to Aus
trian headquarters to place his resig-
nation in the hands of Emperor
Charles.
Much anti-German feeling is being
manifested in Vienna and in Hun
gary. In the Austrian capital the
police have prevented an attempted
attack on the German embassy.
On the front in France, and Flan-
ders there has been no break in the
lull since the German repulse at
Rheims. Small raids are being car
ried out here and there but no gen.
eral engagements appear to be in the
making.
Berlin, in it's official statement re-
fers to allied raids as attacks and
mentions the repulse of local Amer
lean attack northwest of Chateau
Thierry. There has been no fighting
on that sector since Thursday, when
the Americans advanced their lines
in Belleau wood a half mile against
weak German resistance.
