upon the enemy along the Piave river, official cab
les from Rome declared today.
Gen. Diaz is cautiously pursuing the battered
Austrian armies, because the advance of the Ital
ians leaves the left flank open to attack by the Aas-
tro-German reserves in tht laminating hiDs on the
upper Piave river.
The west bank of the Piave river ia completely cleared el
Austrian! on the Italian front, the last of the rear guard sur
rendering after it haji been nearly annihilated.
The Itklian drive northward is believed to he a defensive
move to make the expected Austrian offensive in the mountain
region more difficult. The enemy is reported to have coacos-
; i trated all of its available reserves there.
The Austrian lasses are estimated at 250,000 and it is rs» _
ported to include 20,000 drowned in the retreat across the Piave
river.
London, June 26.—The Italians have scored an important
ess in the northern counter offensive, was learned today.
In the Grappa sector, southwest of Monte Aaolonr, they advan
ced a mile.
The Italians have also extended their gain at Cape Sale, an
