Summary Of
War Events

rThe l.332nd day of the war: ssth
day OF the big offensive)
ITALIAN FRONT-The greatest
military defeat suffered by Austria
in this war appears to be in the
making.
Semi-official reports are that the
retreat across the Piave has become
an utter rout Both the military and
political effects OF this retirement
are expected to be more far reach
ing than in earlier retreats from
Galicia and Serbia. when Austrian
food and reserves were plentiful.
Italian cavalry and infantry have
crossed the Piave. in the Caposiio
region. at the point where the Aus.
TRANS made their greatest advance
in this drive. Only few Austrian
detachments remain on the west
bank between that point and ZEN
son. five miles TO the north.
The Montello crest. which at one
time was almost wholly in the
hands of the enemy. has been en-
tirely reclaimed.
Thousands OF Austrians are being
slain in their precipitate flight
other thousands probably are being
captured. Enormous quantities of
materials are being abandoned. The
Italians have recovered all the guns
they lost in the initial stages OF the
Austrian drive.
Emperor Karl. who evidently had
returned to Vienna because of the
political and economic situation, Is
reported TO have hurried back to the
front yesterday.
PICARDY FRONTING allies took
prisoners and inflicted casualties in
raids and patrol encounters.
OISE FRONT-A German raid
was frustrated near Antheuil.
