In the mountainous country, where the British have been holding their postions solidly, thousands of the enemy havi perished, while they have paid heavily for every foot they haye ad vanced along the Piave river front. i i In the Montello area, on the upper Piave, the Austrians seer to I}a\'c gained a foothold on the west bank of the river. Nort of Zenson loop and at Capo Sile, lower down, they have als moved westward, but their greatest gain does not exceed two of three miles. It seems that, thus far in the battle, the Austriang hall\'e gained the most ground at Capo Sile, a village west of thd Piave river and surrounded by low, marshy land, which in itsel does not lend itself readily to rapid advance. The mountain sector, along the upper reaches of the Brenta has not been broken. On the contrary, the British claim to havd defeated the foe. As long as this front holds firmly, according tq military experts, the stability of the Italian line i sured unlesd a serious breach should be made along the Piave river east o Treviso and Montebelluna. There are hints of a counter-offensive in reports from Ttal the success of the Italans two weeks ago in the mountainou country west of Lake Garda, and the evident concern of the Aus trian command over an advance there may indicate that, if thi Italians strike back, it may be along this part of the front. A sud] cess there would isolate the Austrian forces fighting east of Lak Garda and turn the right flank of the enemy armies.

Officers of the vessel claimed to have been told the story of the sub- marine combat by members of the American undersea boat’s crew. The American liner had put into the mouth of Chesapeake Bay for shelter in response to submarine warnings and there anchored near an American sub- marine tender alongside which was moored the undersea craft which was taking on provisions and fuel, officers of the vessel stated. An interchange of wireless messages followed in which the submarine crew is reported to have told of its victory. The U-boat was sighted while the American craft was patrolling with only her periscope visible, according to the story the American skipper is alleged to have told. When within range a torpedo was released and 20 seconds later microphones recorded terrific explosion, he was quoted as saying. Rising to the surface, tho American submarine circled about on the lookout for survivors, but oil com- ing to the surface was the only t found of the vanquished raider, nar- rators of the story said they had been told. No Infantry Attacks in Mountaln Rome, Monday, June 17.—In th attacks between Zenson and Fossall along the Piave, the Austrians ha been stopped everywhere, says an of cial statement issued tonight by 4 Itallan war offic In the mountg region and around Montello there ha been no infantry attacks by the emy. The Allied troops have tald several hundred additional prison: and some machine guns. The “hunger offensive,” as the Al trian prisone describe it, is bel carried on with the greatest sevel on the Piave front, where it ig parent the Austrians have ma large bodies of troops. In the mo tain regions to the north the fight for the present is limited to local tacks and counter-attacks. The enemy is making desperate forts to retain the positions he d tained during the initial stage of offensive on the western bank of Piave. At the Piave at the pol where he still has a footing across river, these operations are costing heavily. Fierce fighting is tak place in the Nervesa zone, where river emerges from the Alps to plain and in the region of Fagare, way between the Alps and the sea here is no question that the sp| of the TItalian troops is excellq Nevertheless, the gencral situ regarded as ous, in view of that the Austrians, so it is stated, h: brought into action all their availa farces in the hope of breaking thro the Ttalian lines and scoring suc! decisive victory to put Italy ouf the war.
