according to Budapest dispatch
received here to-day. The Premier
said that during the last few days
exciting rumors were being circu-
lated regarding the losses. These
rumors. he declared. were much ex-
sggerated, The Austro- Hungarian n
armies were withdrawn on the Piaye
front in order to spare lives. he de-
clared. since they must have sus-
tanned very great losses had they
held that line.
But. how great are our losses -
interrupted Deputy Zlinsky.
The number OF prisoners taken
was recently stated to be $4,000"
the Premier replied. II must. how
ever correct that statement. The
truth is that the Italians have taken
IL. .O00. while $4,000 Italians fell in
10 our hands. In the case OF an Of
tensive and a retreat this figure
cannot be termed excessively high
Much sadder is the loss we suffered
in dead. wounded and sick: mostly

sick. In the tenth and eleventh
Italian offensive we lost $4,000 to
100000 men. Now, however our
losses are similar-about 100000
men"
Hungarians i'm Rage
Great excitement in the chamber
marked this declaration. The
Premier continued;
IT am obliged to record this re-
grettable circumstance. II is true
that of three bridges thrown across
the Piave the uppermost unfor-
tunately collapsed and then both OF
the others were carried away with
it. This figure includes the fallen
the slightly wounded and those
brought back as ineffectives."
A great uproar interrupted the
Premier. and there were cries OF
"they were all Hungarians," When
quiet was restored Premier Wekerle
continued:
II mention these figures in order
to describe the situation with perfect

claring that "our army never was SO
we'll provided with ammunition as
during the middle OF June.
1T is true" the Premier an
nounced. that of three bridges
thrown across the Piave, the upper
most unfortunately collapsed and
both of the others were carried
away with il. Thus. unsurmount-
able difficulties arose in bringing
such provisions during the sensa-
tional retreat, which was followed
according 10 the regular plan, and
only a few troops who remained be-
hind who covered the retreat fell
into Italian hands. The entire re-
treat was carried out in such an
orderly and unobserved manner that
the Italians continued their attacks
on our former positions.
IF. despite these regrettable
events, I draw deductions from the
whole II is not to be doubted that
we inflicted important losses on the
Italians and prevented them from
