THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 36,00 AUSTRIANS TRAPPED ATTHE FOOT OF L MONTELLO, DANGER POINT ON PIAVE LINE (Continued From First Page.) at strategic points back of the battlefront, ready to fling into the fight- ing should the Austrian drive become seriously menacing, it was 1n- Mounced to-day. The situation is reported more favorable than it was yesterday. {The danger in the Montello sector is greatly lessened. Between the Prenta and the Astico Rivers, Austrian gains were again reduced, Three fAustrian attacks were repulsed between the Brenta and the Piave. The greatest strategic danger to the Italians lay in the assault on Their mountain defenses, as a major Austrian success there might have | compelled withdrawal of the armies along the Piave and probable evacuation of Venice and Treviso, but the combined British, French and alian forces have stopped the enemy in their tracks. The Austrians, therefore, have shifted their efforts to acquisition | of Il Montello, the crest guarding the northern end of the Piave line, gnd to the marsh land along the lower Piave. Allied troops in the mountain region occupied Razea Pizzo, the | heights southeast of Sasso and the spur of Costalunga, taking several hundred prisoners. ; In the Fosalta region, the Italians pushed the Austrians back to the Piave River and captured Capodargine, cutting off the Austrians in the | Meolo salient (four miles west of the river), But the Italians later were | torced to fall back to the Polants line, still retaining a gain of about two-thirds of a mile. The Austrians have made a further s'ight gain at Montelio. The latest Austrian claim is of 30,000 prisoners and 120 guns. Both Emperor Karl of Austria and Premier Orlando of Italy are at the front. nancial BRITISH RETAKE POSITION ON LYS SALIENT IN FLANDERS Also Make a Successful Raid North of Albert—) Capture Prisoners and Machine Guns.
