The Austrians here had been occu- pying a narrow strip along the river bank. The Italians drove in the Aus- trian line and established themselves on the bank of the Piave helow Salet- to, (about 1 miles from the Ardiatic). Throug hthe reaching of the river here the positions occupied by the Austrians have been divided. During his tour the correspondent talked with an Austrian prisoner, a| memoer of a manufacturing firm with offices in all the great world centers, including New York. “[ have been fighting for 40 months” said this man, “first on the Russian front, where 1 had an easy time ‘and now here, where the Italians ing things too hot for us. no food for the people of Austri next to none for the army.” A sample of the compardtive de structive, ness of the allied and Aus- trian fire Was observed by the corres- pondent in the Asiago region where the French troops had fired more than 100,09 Oshells, while the Austrians had discharged a larger number, The Aus- trian outpost swere covered with bod- ies, where the French had. suffered hardlyvany damaga = « ad A remark was made by one prisoner j regarding the Americans. T“We are not influenced by the idea of America’s help,” said this man. “We think that the American troops cannot ever get over, but the allies do not need the Americans to whip up. The German food conditions like- wise,” he added, j appear tot be as bad as ours.” The new avance was made with the ajd of infantry divisions under Gen- eral Baron Schariczer. The Italians attacked again south- eas tof Asiago on the mountain front, the statement adds, but met with the sam@ poor success as on previous oc: casions. ALLIES GROWING STRONGER.

Amsterdam, Wednesday, June 19.— The Berlin Vorwaerts, the German so- cialist organ, in announcing the in- crease in the price of bread to five pfennigs per. pound, says this price will bring: the land owners 1,000,000,000 marks surplus profits and necessarily will be followed by increases in the cost of milk, butter and beef. The socialist party, says the news- paper has formally protested to the government on the ground that the increases would be.sure to create the greatest of ill-feeling. FRENCH CONFIDENT. Paris, June 20,—Talking to the par- "limentary army commission today on the military situation, Premier Clem- enceau alluded to the American mili- tary effort, which he said, was being constantly sustaYned and which was resulting in the steady and safe ar- rival in France of large numbers of American reinforcements. Me spoke also of new decisions made by the British government regarding meas- ures to be taken during the next. en- emy offensive and upon the situation as it regarded the defense of Paris. . Leon Abrami, under secretary for effectives, of the war department, gave details of the military, strength of the entente and his revefations, to- gether with the statements made by the premier, had a most reassuring ef- fect upon the commissioners~ The members of the commission, says L’Homme Libre, were particular- ly. impressed by the figures given of the numbers of American troops, which it predices, will shortly bring about numerical equality with the en- emy.

Think of your family. Think of the white bread you may win for all.” The correspondent has visited groups of hundreds of prisoners, all of whom are thin and weak. They said they had had little food for the past month and spoke_with horror of the winteremonths they had passed. A sample of their black bread showed that, it was made of ry straw and po- tatdes. Austrian army hag little food. Some of the prisoners have not eaten for 48 hours. Humorous Stories. The Italian soldiers tell humorous stories of captures effected by per- cuading the Austrians that they. will be well fed. One Italian officer who had been wounded and picked up by a group of Austrians, who intended to make him prisoner explained how fool- ish they were. He said: “Come: with me and you will get meat, wine and real bread.” Thereupon the whole party went over to the Italian lines. Jt is said also that at the beginning of the offensive the Austrians in the front \ine.each received three rations Rags for Shirts. Many of the-prisoners have strong, well spiked shoes, !but these’ they Their clothes, however, are falling apart, having been patched frequent- ly. Most of them have mere rags for shirts. The majority of the prisoners have money but it is either in’paper bills or iron coin. The most of them wear medals for valor, some of them having two. or three of them, but these decorations are of base metal and none are of gold or silver. One is stamped with a likeness of Empress Zita and encircled with laurel wreaths and is made of a zinc composition. The prisoners part readily with these medals, saying they have.no pride in them, for a few pennies of . Italian money, Most of the prisoners are young and light. haired and generally have bad teeth. The Italians have won complete con- trol of the air along the Piave line, where the most determined fighting of the present Austrian offensive is in progress. This afternoon not a single Austrian machine was aloft on this front. In general the situation of the ‘Aus- ng the Piave appears far as from satisfactory to them.
