A year ago, the Italian armies were within 12 miles of Trieste, and on the direct road to tho interior of Austria. Today they are holding the lino of the Piave River, over looking the rich Venetian plain, now In tho hands of the enemy. ,.. . But this picture of territorial re linquishment flndB the Italian peo. plo nearer to true victory and real ization of national aspirations than they wore tho day before the dis aster at Caporotto. That triumph of German Intrigue and propagan da, resulting in tho rout of the Ita lian army, and the retreat to the piavo, was -the first step toward the 'creation of the present national eollduiity of Italy for prosecution of the war. . : '. . The extent of Italy's rejuvenation Is illustrated by her tremendous de feat ot the Austria"n offensive,. which begin alonsr tho 100-mile. front from the .Asingo plateau to the Adratic, tho morning ot June 16. ..- : ::',. ' Unlike tne previous offensive, this effort found the Italian armies ready and waiting. British and French troops fought shoulder-to-shouldcr with the Italians In the mountain , region, and in iha last days of the offensive, Amorlcan air men rendered important co-opora-tloit . ''".' , Ausinaiis Cross l'hive. ' Tho Austrians, ' who madd this drive minus tho German aid which had characterized tholr. formor campaigns, were stopped in '. tho north-, but succeeded in crossing tho . Piavo at several points. Their greatest penetration here did not exceed, five, miles, howovor. Their buses wero stupendous. Nearly a million men wore engaged by them and their killed, wounded and mis sing were estimated at 250,000. Tho Allies took tho Initiative on the mountain front on the second day, and eventually re-establishod tho old line there. Tho tido turned on the Piave during tho fifth day. Ruins iu the mountain region flood ed the river, preventing the Aus trians bringing , up -reinforcements, ammunition or food. On - Juno 22, tho Austrian retreat began. In some places it becam a rout. They lost mnro than 25,000 prisoners. After winning back their old' lines along the t'inve. the Italians, Brit ish and French began systematic local enterprises which have been successful in winning territory, in flicting casualties and acquiring prisoners. These continue as this is written. Propaganda Offensive. The Central Powers' biggest of fensive against Italy during the past year was the attack ot tho morale of hor soldiers nnd civil ians. ' it coincided very nearly with tho various "affairs" in France. It was finally crushed and defeated by tho thorough exposure of Germany's treachery after, tho military 'defeat. Tho moral rebound which came to Italy after the stemming of the Austro-German rush on the Piave was furtlior strengthened by sever al other factors. Probably the chief - one among them was the creation vof the Allied ''single front." Long before the appoint- moirt of Gcnoial Foch as supreme commander "on the Western fronts, the Italians wero made to feel tho unity of Allied Interests which tho British and French expeditions look up their positions on the new line ot defense. That was ftor tho Italians, alone, had halted the ene my, and the best appreciation of this feat is given In tho words of a high Allied official, who said: "Italy's resistance on the line of tho Piavo will live among tho most famous deeds of battles of all ages. It Is not too much to say that the causo of the Alllanco would have been severely compromised, if not morn, had not the Italian troops stood tholr" ground and turn ed back the invaders from Italy on those celebrated defenses. I firm ly believe that that great feat of arms not only had an objective re sult of enormous importance; I be lieve It has tieen of enormous ser vice to tho Italians thmselvcs. They have come out of that trial with grouler unity, with great self-confi-deiice, and, if possible, with greater courage than they ever had before." Itnliiius Tn. France, ' Italy has shown her appreciation of the lessons and results of the I'lave action by the dispatch of an Ttallan force to France. Her con fidence In tho reality of Inter-Allied solidarity is further confirmed by the arrival of American troops. Another great event In Italy's history of tho past year Is tho Home conference of representative:', of tho subject races of Austria and tho resolution which resulted from tho proceedings there. For many months previously, practically from the time of the Russian revolution, enemy Intriguers and misled persons In the Allied countries had been do ing their utmost to. break .the tleB i Itl u-nsn Ililtf and Vr.nM lnlnnJ , MISS 0LGA MASARYK SHi ! CP Aft'. , 1,1 . Miss Olfla Garrlgue Maaaryk, who Is called the "Jean d'Arc" of the op pressed Ciecho-Slovak race, of whom there ara 260,000 under the hated rule of Austria-Hungary, declares that they will form a revolt against the Aus trian tyranny. Miss Masaryk's mother Is American and her father, Dr. Thom as Q. Masaryk, a Bohemian, is the acknowledged head of the provisional Bohemian government. paign against the former's . war alms. ' The principal attack of these per sons was based on an alleged in consistency botween tho supposed aims of Italy and her correspond ingly ; alleged unjust attitude to wards the aims of tho Austrian na tionalities. The: propaganda had a certain success' in that It lod to continual bickering In sections of the Allied press and a vague, gener al, mutual distrust of each others motives between Italy and her Al- liOS. ' ': ;' Whether any serious menace to Allied unity would huvo rosulled it is difficult to Bay, but at any rato the Italian parliament, seeing the menace of the situution, callqd a conference of representatives of the Czech, Slovak, Rumanian and Jugo slav groups now under Austrian domination. The meetings wero hold with the sanction of tho Ital ian government .-There was a full and frank discussion of all tho pro blems and of supposed -conflicting aims of Italy and tho other races represented,- and two very satisfac tory results wore achieved. First, Italy rccognizod' the jiistlco and right of the subject races of Aus tria ' to' ihdepoij'dbnce',1 'and; stJcond-: ly, she acknowledged that there was no conflict between that principle and her own war alms. These de clarations had so- further bencficlul effect In strengthening the civilian and military morale ot Italy and in dispelling tho vague cloud which had appeared to thioatcn Italian Allied relations.? : i ItcNiilt 1 Summarized.! " The 'Importance of the conference-is best summed up by tho words ot a very . prominent Allied statesman,- who snld: "Italy has shown herself i roady to extend to the Poles, to those gallant Czocho-Slovaks, to tho- Ru manians and last, but not least, to the Jugo-Slavs, the principles of which her own "Rlsorglmnnto" was founded, nnd on which she still may go further than she has ever dono in the past.
