Apparently Germany has given
up hope Of reaching a decision on
tho field of battle, If the speech of
Foreign Secretary Won kuehImann
is an indication. He held that
peace must come thru negotiations

overseas had made this necessary.
The secretary could give no idea Of
wnen the war would end. His err
forts were received coldiy by the

Tho official view in Washington
was that the speech was a peace
move and that Germany now in
vites proposals from the entente.
It 10 felt that the move 10 similar

and artillery the Austrian withdrawal
across the Piave soon became dis

trian losses total more than 100000.
1t was terrible sight as the mad
dened Austrians fled under the deluge
Of Italian bullets and shells. They
leaped into the river and grabbed
pieces of wood or anything that would

vain, for as soon as they reached the
opposite bank they were again caught
in the fire of Italian machine guns.
- Slaughter Terrific K.
On the Montello the slaughter was
terrific. Bodies Of Austrian troops were
moved down almost in their entirety.
At the crossing at Kervesa both bands
Of the river were strewn with dead and
dying, while hundreds OF bodies were
carried down in the current to the
sea.
Along the lower Piave the Austrians
found themselves, If possible, in
wcnse position and sustained heavier
losses.
A single episode shows how and why
the retreat started. On Saturday the
Austrian command sent the Ninety
first Schuetzen brigade, composed Of
two regiments. with orders to widen
the Austrian breach> at LAmpol at all
hazards. The brigade attempted to
carry out this order and fought like
wild men, but the italian pressure was
50 terrific that they were unable 10
accomplish their object, which was to
succor the Austrian divisions already
surrounded in this sector.
Brigade Wiped Out.
After six attacks there remained at
i o'clock Monday afternoon only
ninety mesf OF this brigade. The others
either were prisoners, wounded or
dead. The commanding officer then
4 committed suicide and the ninety
surrendered.
In fleeing the kustrians left behind
them much ws w:sr; n material The enemy
troops even threw away their rifles
and deserted hundreds Of machine
guns which were to have been used to
protect the retirement.
Il IS estimated that the number Of
Austrians on the western bank OF the
Piave when the retreat began was over
iO0, 900. This great number Of men.
