 WASHINGTON, June 24.-Aus- trian losses in the retreat across the Piave included an "appaliing mum Der" of troops killed, more than 10000 made prisoner and an enor- nous amount of war booty, said a report from General Diaz, the Italian commander which was cabled from Rome tonight to the Italian embassy.
 Yesterday we obtained a great victory" said General Diaz's mes sage. Owing to the extreme pres- sure of our troops and the contin- uous fire of the artillery and air planes, the enemy, after having desperately chung for eight days at the cost of appalling losses to the right bank of the Piave on the night of the 23rd began to retreat to the left bank under our terrific fire.
 "The retreat continued during the entire day, protected by strong ma chine gun contineents and rear guard units, which after opposing obstinate resistance were success fully overpowered by the impetus of our troops which enveioped Mon tello and swept over on the entire Piave line with the exception of short section at Musiie, where the fight continues.
 Thus far 10000 prisoners have been counted and an enormous amount of booty captured. An ap- paIling number of Austrian corpses filters the ground, bearing witness to the unfortunate bravery and of the crushing defeat of the enemy"

AMERICANS CLEAR ENEMY FROM WOOD
lRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON THE MARINE, June 24.-American troops on the Marne front last night captured the northwestern part of Bel leau wood. The Americans cleared this strategic position of all Germans. captured some prisoners and took five machine guns.
 The Americans now are in complete possession of the woods. The attack was begun with heavy barrage, after which the Americans went over almost immediately and smoked out the Ger mans. whose positions were regarded us almost impregnable.
 One machine gun found in a tree was operated by pulley.
 The operation lasted only half an hour. It is taken to 1cstlfy further to the thoroughness of American methods and of the determination of the Ameri- cans 10 succeed in any undertaking assigned to them. The whole affair was brilliantly conceived and brilliant ly carried out.

 VIENNA, June 24.-(Via London) The war office announces today the vacation of Montello and the right bank of the Pave by the Austrian troops. The statement says:
 "A position has arisen by reason of the height of the water and bad weather which has caused US to evacuate MonteIIo and some sectors of the other positions which we won on the right bank of the Piave.
 "An order given four days ago was carried out in such way, that despite the difficulties connected with changing to the other bank, our movements remained wholly unobserved, by the enemy. Many lines already evacuated were sub jected yesterday to strong Italian gunfire which increased in places to drum fire.
 "The enemy infantry also ad- vanced to attack against the trenches we had abandoned. They were driven back by our long dis tance batteries.

 The engineer was asleep at the time of the accident" Mir McFadden said. There is no doubt about it. He had been asleep for two or three miles It was the result of some sickness from which he is suffering"

 Engineer Sargent was released on bonds today at his home in Kalamazoo, Mich, where he was arrested. He promised to appear at the inquest to morrow.

WASHINGTON, June 24-A second national lottery to determine the order of call for the 744.S65 men registered last June will be held here this week, probably Thursday or Friday.
 The procedure will be similar to that of last year when nearly 10,00O.- 900 men were given their relative places in the draft. The same bowl will be used with capsules containing numbers up to the-largest number of registrants in any district in the coun- try. Last year 10,500 capsules were provided, but the number this year will be much smaller.
 Each Number Controls 4,500
 The lottery system is based on the selection of master numbers, each of which governs similar numbers lii every one of the 4,500 local districts over the country. Under the system of classifying registrants adopted since the first drawing last year. how ever, it would not necessarily follow that the men holding the first number drawn would be the first called for service.
