. order of the day AUSTRIANS IN RETREAT CHASED BY CAVALRY AND INFANTRY gotrent across the river at Falze, after the enemy had been swept from Montelio. American aviators played a prominent role in this work Thousands of Austrians have been captured. Other thousar ave been wiped out by artillery, machine gun and rifle fire, by air raids and by drowning. RETREAT DISORDERLY, GENEVA REPORTS. GENEVA, Monday, June 24.— Austrian retreat agross (he Piave Continues in the greatest disorder under the immediate fire of the Allied artillery, according to news received here this morning. British gunners, especially, are doing heavy execution in this sector. The Austrians are rushing up new reserves to fil! the breach betwee the Montello Plateau and the Adriatic in order to avert g disaster. In spite of the official announcement from Vienna that thé retreat was due entirel to the flood in the Piave River, the report states that the Italian armies caused the breaking of the offensive by their continuous pressure against — enemy. —-——--24-— “REPORT OF 45,000 PRISONERS IS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED Cable From Rome Says From 12,000 to 15,000) Were Taken Before Offensive Was Turned Into Rout. WASHINGTON, June 25.—A despatch to the Italian Emba from Rome to-day confirmed the announcement yesterday that pri taken by the Italians in the fighting the Piave numbered 45,000, This included some twelve or filleen thousand captured during the last week before the Austrian offensive was turned into a rout [Doubt had been cast on the accuracy of these figures because a report issued in Rome mentioned only 4,000 prigoners, although the Italian Embassies in Washington and London had announced 45,000. It is now believed the apparent discrepancy was due to the fact that the wireless reports from Rome are frequently delayed The one mentioning 4,000 may have been one of these delayed wire- less reports and have referred to a previous operation.) ; Complete readjustment of the plans of the German High Com- mand, in view of the disaster which has overtaken the armies of Em. peror Charles, is regarded as certain by observers here. Upon the ex tent of the defeat, it was said, will depend the course of events in France. 7 ae VIENNA ADMITS PIAVE DISASTER; LAYS RETREAT TO HEAVY RAINS Tries to Dupe People Into Believing Retirement | Was Not Known to the Pursuing Italians. | ners [AUSTRIAN REPORT] | VIENNA, June 25.—The following official communication was issued | fast night: | “A position has arisen by reason of the height of the water and bad | weather which has caused us to evacuate the Montello and some sectors | of the other positions which we had won on the west bank of the Piave. “An order given four days ago was carried out in such a way that, | despite the difficulties connected with changing to the other bank, our} movements remained wholly unobserved by the enemy.
