VOLUME : THE LATEST NEWS Ig*WIRE With the Italian Armies Afield, Jane 20.— The elements are aiding the Italians. ** Heavy rains in the mountain regions have changed the Piave river from a sluggish stream to a rushing flood, destroying bridges flung across the Piave by the enemy and cutting off the Austrian forces on this side from their source of supplies and reinforcements. Trapped on the west bank the Austrian de tachment is subject to almost constant mauling by the Italian artillery, and bombs dropped 4>y the Allied airmen, with no avenue of escape. The enemy’s loss on all parts of the front for the first three days of the offensive is now estimated at 150,000. London, June 20.—The Italian forces are now counter-at tacking at various points along the whole Piave river line, was authoritatively learned today.

While the Teuton attacks appear lo have lost their punch. It is Dot by any. means assured that the fighting spirit has been takeiv-out of them. This may be the case, or the Austrian drive at Italy may be only a demonstration to draw the attention of the Allied.command while the Germans prepare for another smashing flow in Flanders or Picardy. Certainly they must jrtri^e there s oon or withdraw from the dangerous salient thev -apr- If the Italians have the foroe to s trike back, the Austrians » have crossed the Piave are in a dangerous position unless able to fight their way on to the Venetian plains, ’s account accorded them a slight gain in ground, ufits of rioting in Germany should be read with reser- luch stories are often sent out under direction of the 'ar Staff with the object of deceiving the Allies, flly disquieting news on this front is the Austrian 1,000 prisoners and 120 guns.
