slowly pressed back from

points he had won in the first msh. The Austrian s early in the offensive had almost half the plateau, but now they have only about one-third. Including many of their best positions, such as the town of Nervesa, which baa been set on Are by the Italian artillery.

Mo Fear in Venlc*

No fear Is felt in Venice that the Austrlans will j?et there. The correspondent on visiting the city found an absenoe of excitement. Large stocks of bandages which the Ameri-

can Red Cross has had on hand in Venice for the last few months have proved most useful to the Italian wounded. A number of cases have been turned over to the British Red Cross at the request of Lord Monson, JBritish Red Cross commissioner.

Spurred on by- their successful resistance, Italian troops are making repeated attacks against the enemy posi1 ions west of the Piave and have gained feome ground. In the mountains around Aslago, Franco-Italian troops have retoccupled important positions. Wednesday, the bag of Austrian prisoners aggregated nearly 2,000, bringing the total Clotures to 11,000.

Vienna, In Its official statement, adfntts that Its troops are on the defensive and is content to report that all Italian attacks, especially along the tfave, have been repulsed. The fighting is now in its seventh day and the Austrian* west of the Piave probably are In a more precarious position fhan at «uiy time since last Saturday.

Enemy Is Forced Back.

s Around Montello on the northern end of the Piave line, the Austrians hare been driven back slightly. Their efforts to advance near Senaon, near the center of the line, have been checkod wfth severe losses. At San Don Di Piave and on the Fossetta canal the Italians have driven the enemy from .ground gained earlier in the week.

Heavy rains are reported in' the Mountains and these may add to the torrent in the Piave, which already has washed away many bridges. With the flooded river behind the enemy the Italian counter attacks are gaining in strength in an effort to wipe out or capture the troops which have crossed the Piave and have been unable to advanoe Into the Venetian plain.

Rioting In Vienna.

Riot* are reported la* suburbs of Vienna and 100,000 workmen in important war manufactories there are on •trike. The situation apparently is ^growing beyond control of the civil au'thorltles and martial law In the Auatrian capital Is not unlikely. The workmen continue to deipand more bread and the agitation" Is spreading.

Advices received In neutral oountrles are to the effect that the present trouble ts the most serious the Austrian government has faced and is causing grave apprehension throughout the oovntry. Germany appears unable to help beoause it is faced with serious food situation itself.

Premier Is Aeeused.

'Premier Von Seydler is accused "by the socialist Arbeiter Zeitung, of Vienna, of producing a disturbing situation by favoring the agrarians and tradera. It says the situation could harve certainly been prevented. The paper rails against Germany and Hun,gary and tells the authorities they most immediately draw the attention of those countries to the fact that food conditions In Austria are intolerable and demand necessary assistance. It adds: •Th« Atwtrfaa Cannot starve, while Germany and Hungary have tolerably adequate rations. The

Austrian government mtist be placed under tutelage even in matters relating to the food supply. It has deserved to be subjected to guardianship, but the population must not be punished with starvation for the failure of the government."*

Tells Terrible Conditions. AMSTERDAM, June 21.—The following is a picture of social conditions in Prussia as presented during debate on June 18, on the budget of the min iitry of the interior or In the house of deputies by Socialist Member Braun: *"We are face to face with a terrible condition of publio morality. We hear of numberless cases of theft* on railways and alarming Juvenile criminality. "According to statistics between Oct., 1916, and Nov, 1917, there were 487,726 convictions for infractions of the food regulations and these were only a small percentage of the actual transgressions committed. "As for that, we are all sinners. Profiteering exceeds all bounds usury is rampant among all classes. Fraudulent profiteering, like that of the Dalmlar works, is nowise exceptional Even official bodies attempt to extort Illegal profits. Poor people can only buy clothes at the official clothing department by bribing the salesmen with tips of food. "The increase of criminality demonstrates the demoralization through the Wgr which is described by fools as a Pijuvenatlng bath. Self sacrifice and patriotism, perhaps are still found in

"Everrbody cheats, steals, ^raM, from Jail bird to court chamberlain, who cheats the needy home worker out of his scanty earnings and rockets millions. And the longer the war lasts, the worst it becomes. "Added to this ts the f&tJtertsffitl party's wild war baiting propaganda and refusal of equal suffrage.

socialistic press while the fatherland party and the annexationists with impunity praised the accusation of bribery with Anglo-American money against those favoring peace by negotiation, He finally gave a number of instances of arbitrary suppression of political meetings which were unwelcome to the military commanders, all of which caused the gravest bitterness among the people.

The minister of the interior, Ir. Drews, answered vaguely that he was not responsible for the censorship or the other matters complained of, which were under the jurisdiction of the military authorities.

The socialist rPTrspaper, Vorwnerts, devotes a long editorial to the foregoing in which it bays: "Dr. Drews* unsatisfactory answer Is tantamount to a confession of the impotence of the civil government. In fact there Is no responsible civil government in Prussia tooay. It demonstrates the necessity of the abolition »f the state of siege in the country for whloh there is no legal Justification whatever. The necessity of. a responsible government Is shewn

LOW FOOD RATION.

Austrlans Now Have Only Bare Subsistence Allowed. LONDON,'June 21.—The weekly food ration in Austria, the Daily Mail correspondent at The Hague quotes the Arbeiter Zeitung of Vienna as reporting, is as follows:

Twenty-two ounces of tread one pound of potatoes of which half cannot be eaten, one ounce of black bran mash, one ounce of another mill product an ounce and a half of fat 6^4 ounces of sugar one egg seven ounces of meat ajid little jam and coffee substitutes, "The Vienna newspaper says the meat allowance is obtained "if the applicant waits all night for it."
