Realizing That the Austrian Offensive
Has Failed, They Are Resisting His
Further Efforts Desperately.

Italian Army Headquarters, Wednes'
day, June 10 tBy Associated Pressl -
Realization that the Austrian offensive
has failed is spurring the Italian troops
to desperate resistance along the Piave.
Heavy fighting continued to-day around
the Montello plateau on the north and
near San Dona di Piave on the south.
On Montello, which is hilly and wood
ed, the opposing forces frequently STUN
bled upon each other unexpectedly. Such
meetings always result in sharp encoun-
ters.
The spirit of the Italian troops is at
high pitch despite wounds, loss of sleep
and constant movements made necessary
by the conditions of the terrain at sew
eral points.

ORDER PROMPTLY REScINDED.
1t Had Forbidden Express Companies to
Increase Rates.

Washington, D. c., June 20.-The in
terstate commerce commission to-day
handed down an order refusing to grant
the express companies application for
10 per cent increase in rates, and few
minutes later withdrew the order with
out explanation.
The leading express companies applied
last fall for permission to raise their
rates ten per cent. citing decreased earn
ings and even actual deficits in the last
year as proof of their need. Shippers in
terests made little objection to the pro-
posed increase in hearings before the
commission, and it had been concluded
the commission would permit the in
creases.
Representatives of the express compa-
nies and of shippers expressed surprise
the decision to-day. A few min
utes later the commission announced that
a mistake had been made, but declined to
say whether the decision might be re-
versed on further consideration.
