 The defeat of the Austrian armies
 on the western bank of the Piave is
 complete. The Austrian war office
 admits that the troops were forced
 to evacuate Montello plateau over
 which they hoped to press their way and gain the Venetian plains. In some sectors the attacks brought failure of the operation which was intended to crush the Italians and force an acceptance of a Teutonic peace like the Russians. Only small units remain on the western bank and the Italians are keeping at the heels of the retreating enemy who is fleeing in disorder. Cavalry is being used in harrassing the enemy, while machine guns and airplanes are also being used. Enemy losses are des- cribed as enormous in killed, wounded and prisoners. A Rome official dis patch to the embassy in Washington asserts the Austrians lost 45,000 pris- oners alone. The Italian official statement says 4O,OOO but the latter is believed to antedate the embassy dispatch and in all probability the number far exceeds the latter. The fact that the river was swollen out of bounds and most of the few bridges not carried away were shot to pieces by Italian guns compelled the Austrians to surrender or take a chance at swimming the stream. The Austrian retreat was so hurried in some places that they did not take time even to save their guns and stores great quantities of which were captured. It has not yet been in dicated whether the enemy purposes to renew soon his offensive in the mountain region although reports said he was bringing up large rein forcements.

WASHINGTON, June 24-Coni- dcnce at Rome that the war may be brought to a victorious conclusion this year, if tie Allies give the Ital> iaus a full measure of support in the offensive which has been launched against the Austrians. is reflected in official wireless dispatches received today from the Italian capital
 These messages say the Austrian retreat across the Piavc, in which the Italians have already taken 45,O0G prisoners, has become a veritable rout, but that information from secret sources shows that many divisions of German troops have been de- tached from the front in France and are being rushed to the aid of the Austrian army.
 Hope is felt here that a substan- tial part of the rctreating Austrian army on the Piave will be destroyed aad t,sat thc force winch at tsca-,d will be SO greatly demoralized as to be useless for offensive purposes for months to come
 Some officers here feel that the Italians should content themselves with inhicting all possible damage upon the rctrcating enemy and should not seek to extend their lines to the other side of the Piave
 They think the situation would be satisfactory ii the Piave line is firmly rc-e>tablished. At the same time there are many military off cials, both American and Italian, who have always contcndcd that the road to victory lays through Italy. These officials have been hopeful for the launching of a counter offensive

Germans Detach Many Divisions From French Front And Hurriedly Dis

by Gen. Foch in Italy for that req son.
 The Germans are said to be thor oughly awake to the probability of complete collapse of the Austrian government, already struggling with a half starved and riotous people, in the event of complete Austrian rout at the hands of the Italians.
 Realization of this fact, Rome be- licvcs. has caused the German gem cral staff practically to suspend. if not to abandon, its great offensive in France as has been evidenced by the comparative quiet there for the last week.
 German soldiers are being rushed by rail to the northern end of the Austro-Italian battle lines, with the purpose of restoring the Austrian morale and not only checking the Italian counterattack, but by force e. r,rpbers. breaking through .he mountain passes into the plains of Ncnetia.
 With such help as the Entente armies can give immediately, supple mented as rapidly as transportation can be had by troops directly from America. and even more important, by ample military supplies and food for the army, the Italian general staff is reported to be convinced that the victorious sweep of the Italian army will traverse the famous Bainsizza plateau-the scene Of the great bat ties of last fall-and will not stop until the Italians have reclaimed al' of tho country up to the right bank of the Isonzo. which marked the eN- trcmc of Gen.

 AT CAMP CODY
YAVAPAI CONTINGENT IS RELEASED FROM CAS- UAL CAMP AND ASSIGN ED TO POSTS IN DIE FERENT ORGANIZATIONS

Lamp OOuy, N- h-, Jtlc -, lSlc. Editor Journal-NIiner:
 Things arc going pretty well with the Yavapai bunch in this camp just now. and more smiles and jokes are in evidence than could be found q couple of weeks ago when about two-thirds of the Arizona boys were half dead from the effects of too much drilling in the hot sun. poor food and the shots in the arm which we had received. Good humor is now the rule instead of the exception. Several light showers have helped lay the foot-deep dust, and the wind has forgotten to blow for a couple of days. Our release in few days from the confinement camp IS looked forward to with pleasure by all of us. notwithstanding the fact that the opportunities for sightseeing here abouts are decidedly limited.
 Most of the boys have given up srscl. popular sports as badger fighting" snipe hunting, etc, and have taken up the more strenuous duties of street policing.
 Jim Kettle of Jerome, came in off a 24-hour stretch of guard duty this morning, and tells us that this job is quite different from working the S-hour shift at the Little Daisy hoist.
 Our rising time for the past week has been SIS a. m., doubtless this will be questioned by many of the folks in Navapai county who have known our personal habits in years past.
 George Pines of Jerome is get ting to be one of the best soldier "crs" we have-strong al meal time and light on drill.
 lack Shull's inability to procure sufficient food is creating a shortage of this commodity in and about Camp Cody. Jacks daily routine includes q visit to each of the six mess halls at mcal' time Speaks well for Jacks health, we believe.
 Doc Rostine has lost so much weight that he is now in the wclter- weight class-not.
 Some Is of the men from No. ] training camp were transferred to Go. 6. which some of the smart boys tell us is composed largely of Wob- plies.
 Loe Nash's lady friends are caus- ing the government mail carriers m this camp to get hump-shouldered carrying his daily mail.
 $. F. Brody and Rainbow Adams, ex-tallow pots, are making shining mark at certain kinds of police duty.
 It seems that Jerry Donley can not become reconciled to his en-l forced absence from his young wife, and his face gets longer each day. !
 Today is about the last day that the Yavapai men will all be together as tomorrow will see the beginning of the segregation of the men in the casual camps into the older es- tablished companies. The majority ot the Arizonans will go to the 54th division of infantry, and the others to some ten or twelve other branches such as the medical, re- mount. artillery. machine gun. sig nal corps. engineers, cavalry, etc. :
 Hoping that this communication may prove of interest to the people back home. I am.

 crushing defeat of the Austrians along the Piave is the opinion of some of the officers here. Official reports reaching Washington bear out the press accounts of the dis aster, although the full extent of the Italian success is as yet untold. It is regarded as certain that the Gen. tral powers were dealt blow which will further shake the morale of theil people and probably compel the Ger man high command to make a com- plete readjustment of their plans in France. It is not doubted here now that the victory will prove one of the most decisive of the whole war Army officers agreeing with view Of Secretary Baker, expressed the opin- ion that it would influence greatly the events in France.
 It is regarded as vital from the German view that the Italian front be made secure before their designs in France can be prosecuted to full development, while they devote themselves wholly to forcing vic tory in the west before American power swings the scales against her. There is little doubt but that the report of a German troop movement to Italy is well founded.
