10 The Star
LONDON, June 25.-The
Italians have started a coun-
ter offensive in the mountain
region, it was learned from
an authoritative source this
afternoon. The Austrians are
making a strong resistance
but the Italians have gained.
WASHINGTON, June 25.
Italian forces are prepar-
ing for a great drive against
the Austrians in the Trentino
and expect to repeat the dis
aster inflicted on the enemy
along the Piave, official Rome
cables declared today.

-tNight.)-Thc Austrian retreat
The Importance and scope Of
the Italian success grows hourly.
II is now reported that the
troops Of Archduke Joseph and
Gen. Won Wurm must surrender
or be annihilated.
The Austrians have been swept
across the Piave on the whole front
from Montello to the sea, except for
a three-mile sector between Musile
and Caposile, where covering
force is still holding out. it was semi
officially announced tonight.
The Italians have occupied enemy
trenches on Mont Nalberlla and
Mont Asolove. and have captured
Hin 1873.
The Piave is choked with enemy
dead and the debris OF their equip
ment. The attempt OF the Austrian
war office to represent the retire
ment as voluntary is false. In only
few scattered places could the river
be forded and those were under con-
slant fire by the Italian army and
allied air men. The few bridges also
were pelted with shells and air
bombs
1t is positively established that the
enemy's losses are even greater in
the retreat than as direct result OF
the Italian counter offensive.
Swept From Montello
Allied air forces were particularly
active in harassing the Austrian re
treat across the river at Falsee, after
the enemy had been swept from Mon-
