AUSTRIAH FAIL ITO
SMASH THROUGH
Troops To Be Sent
Overseas Rapidly
THREE MILLIONS IN SERVICE
BY AUGUST 1ST, 1T is
PLANNED.

Washington, June 15.-The Am
erican program contemplates 3,0OO,,
900 men under arms by August 1,
General Crowder, provost marshal
general, told the Senate military af-
fairs committee this afternoon. OF
this number, approximately 2,O0O,'
900 men would be draft troops,
while the remaining million would
be volunteers.
General Crowder also Informed
the committee that Class 1 of the
draft would be exhausted next year,
and that it would be necessary to
take men from Class 2 unless the
draft age limit was extended.
The situation on the western
front is more favorable to the allied
armies than at any time since the
great German offensive was launch
ed in March. This statement was
made by General March to members
of the Senate military affairs COM
mittee at their weekly conference
with the war council.
Allies Gaining Strength.
The Allies are gradually gaining
substantial numerical superiority
over the Teutonic forces in France.
This is due to the rapidity in which
American troops are being sent
across the Atlantic. ...
General March told the commit
tee that already the United States
has sent sufficient troops to make
good the wastage of man power on
the allied side since the German Of
fensive began in March. Meanwhile,
the Germans, having drained their
man power to the utmost, have been
unable to replenish their losses.
The American troop movement
improved during the past week and
there is every indication that the
rapid pace set in May will be dupli-
Gated in June. Additional Ameri-
can troops are being thrown into
the front-line trenches every day
and gradual additions are being
made to the sectors being held by
the Americans.
There are more than 100000 Am
erican soldiers overseas.

Heroic Italians and Al
lies Repel Austrian
Attack.
BATTLE ON 100-MILE FRONl
Italians Take 5000 Prisoners-Vi
emma Claims to Have Taken 1O,-
600 Prisoners and Many Big
Guns.

The Italian and Allied armies are
bravely sustaining the weight OF the
Austrian forces which are attacking
I along the front of the Italian thea
ter, from the northwest of the Ash
ago plateau eastward to the Piave
river and thence along that stream
to, where it joins the head waters OF
the Adriatic sea, front of nearly
I 100 miles.
The Austrians, having made ex-
I tensiye preparations for the drive by
I bringing up strong reinforcements
;sin men and guns, are using them
WITHOUT stint in the effort to de-
{ boucfi from the mountain passes and
.,cross, the Piave river and gain the
Venetian plains.
Extremely Sanguinary.
Everywhere the fighting is of an
extremely sanguinary character, es-
peciallY in the Brenta valley and on
Monte Grappa. In the initial strug-
gle the enemy succeeded in captur-
ing sessral front line positions in
the mountain region from the Brit
ish and also in crossing the Piave.
..sCountets attacks, however, have re-
stored ali the positions in the noun
:tains.
Holding the Enemy.
At last accounts the Allied troops
everywhere were strongly holding
the enemy and were gallantly striv-
ing to throw back the invaders
across the Piave. The Italians have
taken more than 5000 Austrian
prisoners, among them 80 officers.
Americans Beat Huns.
In the famous st. Mihiel sector,
where the Americans took over their
first sector of the battle front, the
Germans have delivered stroke
and were rewarded by being able to
gain the village. Soon afterward,
however, they were expelled and the
position regained. Prisoners were
taken from the Germans.
Probably having in mind Presi-
dent Wilson's promise that the war
should not be ended until the
wrongs of Alsace-Lorraine are right
ed, forces of American troops now
are occupying sectors in the pic
turesque territory of Alsace. They
have been there since May 21.
In Macedonia the operations daily
increase in Importance. Along the
greater part of the front there have
been heavy reciprocal lombard
ments and Bulgarian troops several
times have endeavored to pentrate
the Allied lines. All their efforts,
however, were unsuccessful.
