ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUART-
ERS Wednesday,, June 19.-The
Italians have won complete control
of the air along the Piave line, where
the most determined fighting of the
present Austrian offensive is IN
progress. Not a single Austrian ma
chine was aloft this afternoon. Pris-
oners captured by the Italians de-
clare the Austrian army has little
food. Some of the prisoners had not,
eaten in forty-eight hours,
Austrian Major General Won Kronz-
tandt was wounded in fight single
handed against the Italian Arditi
after his Austrian staff deserted him
on the Montello plateau. He died in
hospital. 1t seems that the general
and his staff were lost In the woods,
when they encountered unit of the
Arditi. The staff ran when they saw
the Italians. The general refused to
surrender and the Arditi opened fire.
The Italians have been spurred to
desperate resistance along the Piave
by realization of the failure of the
Austrian offensive. New orders
found on Austrian prisoners have
positively proven that it is hunger

name of Archduke Charles read:

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Postal
inspectors today arrested a number
of travelling agents of the Western
Union between Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing

messages filed for transmission by
