Paris, June 1S.-Ninety-two
Austrian divisions, consisting of
eighty divisions of infantry and
twelve of cavalry, have been
hurled into the greatest battle
that Italy has yet fought, ac-
cording to an official announce

through the Havas Agency.
seventy-one of these divisions have

The forces engaged comprise
three-fourths of the whole Austrian
army and the choicest troops under
the command of Field Marshal
Boroevic. (The number of men in
an Austrian div ision is not exactly
known, but the number of divisions
engaged would indicate that ap-
proXimately 100000 Austrian SOL

battle.)

Bitter Fighting Marks
Engagements Along Pave
on Hunger Offensive

Italian Army Headquarters, June
1s.-Bitter fighting is in progress
along the Piave river. The Austrians
are sustaining large losses from the
concentrated fire of Italian batteries.
Repeated counterattacks are being
made by Italian infantry, inflicting
heavy casualties on the enemy.
The hunger offensive" as the
Austrian prisoners describe IL, is be-
ing carried on with the greatest Sc
verify on the Piave front, where IL
is apparent the Austrians have
massed large bodies of troops. In
the mountain regions TO the north
the lighting for the present is limited
to local attacks and counterattacks
The enemy is making desperate eff
forts to retain the positions he OBJ
tanned during the initial stage of the
offensive on the western bank of the
Piave at the points where he still
has footing across the river These
operations are costing him heavily.
Fierce lighting is taking place in the
Nervesa zone, where the river

and in the region of Fagare. midway
between the Alps and the sea.
There is no question that the spirit
of the Italian troops is excellent.
the general situation is
regarded as serious. in view of the
fact that the Austrians. so it is stat
ed. have brought into action all their
available forces in the hope of
breaking through the Italian lines
and scoring such a decisive victory
as to put Italy out OF the war
On Austrian prisoners have been
found copies of speech delivered by
Emperor Charles shortly before the
offensive was begun.

Emperor. There glory awaits Won.

HUNS DASHING
In VAIN AGAINST
IRON DEFENSE
Frightful Losses Suffered by
Soldiers in Big Army of
Emperor Charles
LITTLE GROUND GAINED
Furious Counterattack Wins
Back Positions For
Allied Troops
BY Associated Press

Holding their lines intact along
virtually all the ninety miles of bat
tie front from the Adriatic to the
Asiago plateau, the Italian and al
lied armies appear to have given the
Austrian armies a serious setback
Approximately one million Austrians
have been hurled against the Italian
front but have gained little except
along the Piave river, where their
progress is seemingly too slow to be
threatening to the allied positions.
Losses described as frightful have
been inflicted upon the Austrians.
In the mountainous country. where
the British have been holding their
positions solidly, thousands of the
enemy have perished. while they
havep aid heavily for every foot they
have paid heavily for every foot they
front.
Austrians Gain But Little
In the Montello area. on the up
per Plave, the Austrians seem to
have gained foothold on the west
bank of the river. North of Zenson
Loop and at Capo SiIe. lower down,
they have also moved westward, but
their greatest gain does not exceed
two or three miles. 1t seems that,
thus far in the battle, the Austrians
have gained the most ground at
| Capo Sile, village west of the Piave
| river and surrounded by low, marshy
land. which in itself does not lend
itself readily to rapid advance.
The vital mountain sector, along
! the upper reaches of the Brenta, has
| not been broken. On the contrary,
the British claim to have defeated
the foe. AS long as this front holds
firmly, according to military eX-
perts, the stability of the Italian line
should be made along the Piave
! river east of Treviso and Montebel-
| luna.
Italy May Strike Back
There are hints of a counter of
| fensive in reports from Italy. The
| success of the Italians two weeks
ago in the mountainous country
west of Lake Garda, and the evil
dent concern of the Austrian COM
mand over an advance there may in
dicate that, if the Italians strike
back, it may be along this part of
| the front. A success there would iso-
rate tne austrian forceS hghtlng east
| OF Lake Garda and turn the right
flank of the enemy armies.
While the gigantic Austrian at
tempt TO break through to the
plains of Italy has occupied the CEN
ter of the stage, events of import
ance may be taking shape in the
Somme battlefield. Heavy firing by
the German artillery in the Ancre
valley northward to Cerre is report
ed by the British. 1t is in this part
of the front that a German attack
has been expected by the allies, and
the German bombardment may be
the prelude of a resumption of the
enemy's offensive in France.

The idea OF duty thus set before

duty toward which all of the rest Of
US here in America, in our turn, like
wise strive. We must brace ourselves
for effort and for endurance through
a hard and dangerous war.
High OF heart and with unfalter-
ing soul. we must do our part In the
grim work, toiling and fighting to
bring a little nearer the day when
there shall be orderly liberty
throughout the world and when JUS
tice and mercy and brotherly love
shall obtain between man and man,
and among all the nations Of man
kind. We must show our faith by
our works. We must prove our truth
by our endeavor. We must scorn
the baseness which uses high-sound-
ing speech to cloak ignoble action
and which seems to betray suffering
right with the Judas Kiss of the
treacherous peace.
