USED HALF A MILLION
Italians Accounted for One-Fourth
Enemy in Offensive.

London, June 22.-Austria has al
ready employed nearly half a million
men in the Italian offensive, of whom
practically fourth have been so Sc
verely punished that they were with
drawn from the battle, 1t was learned
from an authoritative source here
this afternoon.
The situation is regarded very hope
fully here.
So far the enemy has not gained his
expected detectives. These objectives
which he has achieved have been dis
proportionate in military value to the
heavy losses sustained.

Ukrainia, near KieE. The former
Uhainian government to escape
the Bolsheyiks, threw themselves
into the arms of the Germans and
called for German help. When the
German and Austrian armies began
their advance into Ukrainia, the
position of our army was almost
desperate We were in a state
which had concluded peace, into
which, however, the Germans were
advancing and occupying large ter
Iitories without resistance. The
Red Guards of the Sogiets did not
represent any real, military power
1.-The Germans advanced against
US in overwhelming numbers and
there was danger that~we would be
surrounded. Our rear was not COW
cred and the Germans were liable
to attack US there. We had no lines
of communication behind US, no
stores of materials and no re-
serves; everywhere was disorgan-
ization and anarchy, and the Boil
sheviki Red Guards seized the 10
comotiyes and were fleeing east in
panic.
Under these circumstances En-
peror Charles sent us a special en-
voy with the promise, that if we
would disarm, we would be amnes-
tied and our lands would receive
autonomy. We answered that we
would not negotiate with the Aus
trian emperor.
"As we could not hold a front,
we began a retreat to the-east. Al

TOLD BY OFFICER

Washington. = Captain Vladimir
s. Hurban, an officer in thesCZecho-
Slovak army, which Japan and the
United States have decided to aid in
Siberia. has come to Washington
from VIadivostok to make report
to Professor Masaryk, commander
in-chief of the CZecho-Slovak army
and president of the national coun-
ell. Captain Hurban has given to
the Associated Press his story OF
the experiences of the Czecho-SlO-
vaks from the time the army OF
escaped prisoners fought their way
eastward from Ukrainia-
"The history of the origin OF our
army, of its operations on the Rus
sian front, and its march around
the world to the French front will
some day read like a fantastic ro-
nance, before which the magma
ton fades into the prosaic," he said.
Our army in Russia was organ
lied from Czecho and Slovak pris-
cners of war under almost insur-
mountable difficulties We were CO
operating with the Russian army,
and since, the summer of 1917 were
practically the only army on the
Russian front capable of any mill
tary action in the proper sense OF
the word. In July, 1917, during the
first revolutionary offensive under
KerensIy it was only our army that
really attacked and advanced.
when the Bolshevik Soviet gov
eminent signed the peace treaty at
the beginning of March, our army
of about $4,000 men, was in
