Capo Sile Is Taken
In Counter Attack
BY Italian Troops

LONDON, June 2o.-News reached
London this afternoon that the Italians
have regained Capo Silc. on the lagoon
to the west of the Piave River, near
it's mouth, which was captured by the
Austro- -Hungarians.
1t is also reported that the Italians
have regained all the territory between
Zenson and the Fossetta Canal. The
Austro- -Hungariaus, it IS declared, have
been confined TO the ground between
the Fossetta Canal and the Sile Canal,
on the west bank OF the Piave River.
BY counter attacking all along the
Piave, the Italians have gained further
ground on the Mcntello, in the north
ern sector Of the river front, and have
also made Roadway southeast Of this
ridge, says "The Evening Standard" to-
day.
The Ausarians here had been occupy
ing a narrow strip along the river
bank. The Italians drove in the Aus
trian line and established themselves
on the bank of the Piave below Saletto
about eighteen miles from the Adri-
atic). Through the reaching Of the
river here the positions occupied by
the Austrians have been divided.

Italian Aiypla,1e
Forces Ausfria,as on
Float to Surrende,
fBy The Associated Press)

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS,
June 19.-As thousands Of Italian and
Austrian soldiers looked on to-day an
Italian airplane brought about the sur
render of the crew of an Austrian ma
chine gun float after Italian infantry
and artillery had failed to subjugate it.
The Austrians brought the float up
on the swollen Piuve River to point
on the south hank occupied by the
Italians. From this vantage point the
Austrians poured harassing fire into
the Italians, who tried in vain to de-
stroy the float. 1t was impossible to
use light artillery to any great extent
because Of the proximity of the float
to the Italian lines. Finally an
Italian airplane swooped down upon
the river and forced the occupants Of
the float to swim to the right bank and
surrender
The arrival of Allied air fighters to
assist the Italians hes heartened the
Italian air force, which is much wearied
after six days of heroic work.
Italian aviators have spent days at
time in the sir, thereby virtually se-
curing control Of the air and also pre-
venting bombardment of cities behind
the lines. "''Ai"

Underestimated Foe
"From the beginning of the U-host
war it was a mistake, often com nitted
among us, to underestimate The r.
sources of our enemies"
A new and fragrant example Of Cts
man submarine barbarity is reports
by the newspapers.
A U-boat first torpedoed withou
warning and then shelled a Britisf
steamer. When the officers snd eEeu
Of the damaged vessel took to the boat
they were ordered alongside the sub
marine and forced to go ON its deck
the captain being taken below as l
prisoner.
AS the steamer had not yet sunk, h,
captain ordered some of the Britisi
to row one of their two boats back t.
her with q German prize crew, which
rified the steamer systematically aai
then sank her with three bombs.
Prisoners Cast Adrift
After having been employed fsl
nearly Ave hours in this work III
British were given some provisienl
and cast adrift. The same treatmeu'
was dealt out to the others Of tht
crew. numbering twenty-eight.
OF the twenty-eig men in the ~
ond boat only five survived until she
was picked up four days later. The
occupants of the first boat were picked
up in very critical condition on The
fifth day by an American steamer.
