Shattered on the rock Of Italian re-
sistance. the Austrian offensive has
turned into a retreat and from Mon
tello to the sea the enemy is hurry

victory but because of the, awakening

shaken severely last fall by the AUS
tro-German offensive. Holding the,
final barriers to- the Venetian plains
and Lombardy, the Italians by their
Of heavy fighting turned the great
enemy onslaught into q disorderly re-
pulse.
Whether the several enemy divis-
ions on the western bank of the Piave
will be able to escape capture or de-.
struction in attempting to get across
the Piave to the opposite bank will
be the most interesting development
OF the next few hours. The river is
swollen and Vienna in its latest COM
munication, seems to be preparing
the way for unwelcome news. 1t di-
lates at length" on the burdens placed
on the troops by the heavy rains and
the torrential Piave. Most of tho
Austrian bridges are gone and the
Italian heavy artillery is still within
range at points where the Austrians
crossed and near the river bank
where the Italian line has held fast.
Undoubtedly General Diaz' men
realize the .predfcament Of the enemy
and their pursuit OF the fleeing Aus
trians will be pressed with ardor. In
withdrawing from Montello the en-
emy probably will meet with as much
difficulty as in getting out Of the
soaked lowlands along the lower
reaches Of the Piave. To add to the
troubles Of the Austrian command,
their advances across the Piave have
been on unconnected sectors with the
Italians holding the sectors in be-
tween. %
Previous to the beginning Of the
enemy retreat there had been little
infantry lighting along the Piave for
4s hours. The Italians had occupied
the time in shelling the enemy lines
and communications heavily. In the
mountains the situation is unchanged
although the allied artillery has been
very active In some sectors.
! Austrian ofhcial claims of the cap
ture Of 100000 prisoners and on allied
air losses are declared to be falsifi-
cations in q semi Official note issued
in Rome. 1t is asserted that the
Italian losses in killed. wounded and
missing, aggregate forty thousand.
Austrian losses are placed at $50, 900
by Italian: newspapers.
Civil unrest in Austria Hungary is
still rampant and there has been little
ialleviation OF the food conditions.
Failure Of, the Austrian offensive
probably will have an appreciable
effect on tho, situation in the dual
monarchy. f

to have decided to present collect
