Attack In Mountain Region and
Make Gains Despite Strong
Austrian Resistance.
FOE IN FULL RETREAT
Enemy Forces Are Reported Surround
ed and Facing Final Destruction
Allies Await Expected Blow on
Western Front.

London, June 26.-The Italians have
started a counteroffensive in the
mountain region, it is learned from an
authoritative source. The Austrians
are making a strong resistance, but
the Italians have gained.
In Full Retreat.
Washington, June 26.-An official
dispatch from Rome says the, Austri-
ans are in full retreat, and that papers
taken from prisoners show that Aus
tria had not contemplated the posi-
bility of defeat and was promising her
soldiers this offenrive would be the
last stroke to put Italy out of the war.
Troops Surrounded.
Rome, June 26.-The Giornale d.
Italia says the troops of Archduke
Joseph and General Wurm are vir-
tually surrounded and must surrender
or be annihilated.
"The Italians have occupied enemy
trenches on Monte Valbelia and Monte
Asolone and have captured Hill 1873
Prisoners are still coming in." said
statement by the Italian war office.
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 Capo Sile whore covering forces
is still holdirg out, 1t was added.
Austrians Pursued.
London, June 26.-Austria's armies
again are beyond the Piave and the
river line once more bars the enemy
from the Venetian plain. The crushed
Austrian forces not only are pursued
to the river but the Italians at points
have occupied strong bridgeheads on
the eastern bank.
How thorough the Italian victory
has been is not yet clear, as every
hour brings reports of increasing Aus
trian losses. Many thousands of the
invaders were killed in their attempt
to regain the eastern bank of the river
and the latest ann nouncement from
General Diaz places the number OF
prisoners alone at 100000 One report
places the Austrian casualties at 200,-
900 men. In addition the enemy lost
large stores of munitions and supplies
and many guns.
Piave Flood Ended.
Apparently the sudden torrent in
the Piave. which played havoc with
Austrian communications, fell as
quickly as 1t rose and the river bed
was dry when the Austrian retreat
began. This enabled the enemy to
get many of their troops across, other
wise his losses would have been
measureab1y greater.
Blow in West Awaited.
Along the front from the North seq
to Switzerland the Allied armies are
awaiting another blow from the Ger
mans. Premier Lloyd George has told
the British house OF commons that
another gigantic enemy effort is COM
ing with a few days, possibly within
a few hours. The Allies are ready tr
combat 1t.

London, June 26.-Lord Robert Cecil
minister Of blockade, replying to a
question in the house of commons,
concerning the peace utterances of
Baron Burian, the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister, said there was no in
dieation at present favorable for peace
negotiations.
Baron Burian's remarks, he added,
contained no serious contribution to
any peace discussion He was the
nominee of Count Tisza, the former
Hungarian premier who was as re-
sponsible as any man In Europe for
the war.
Quite recently Lord Robert contin.
ued, Baron Burian laid emphasis on
the fact that Austria-Hungary was in.
dissolubly united to Germany and that
their aims were identical. That, he
said, showed no readiness for a peace
which would be acceptable to Great
Britain.
Burian Makes Peace Offer.
JuAC lar
tives of the Vienna municipal council,
according to advices reaching here,
called upon Baron Burian, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister. to protest
against reduction of the bread ration
and urge investigation of peace nego-
tiations. Representatives of Vienna
strikers also have presented a similar
plea to the foreign minister.
Baron Burian declared to the repre-
sentatives of the municipal council:
"Our opponents will always find us
ready to conclude mutual and honor
able peace"
The baron reiterated his assertion
that Austia-Hungary wishes an agree
nent for reduction of ornaments as q
guarantee against future wars.

Officials of the Tacoma long
shoremen' union said Wednesday
they knew nothing of Judd. He
was taken into the union July I,
1917, at a time when the long
shoremen were making an effort
to bring all non-union men back
into the organization. Judd had
come to Tacoma to work as non
union longshoreman during the
1916 strike.
When he signed his application
card for membership in the union
he gave his birthplace as Cologne,
and the longshoremen thought he
was French, they say.
Tacoma longshoremen have

would not have accepted Judd
