FIRST MONTH OP WAR
SUCCESSFUL, SAY ITALIANS
More Than 600 Miles of Border Wrest
ed From Foes.
ROME, Juno 21.
One of the chief generals In the Italian
War Office summarizes tho first month
of the campaign about as follows!
"One month ago the Italians Invaded
Austrian territory, uprooted the yellow
and black poles bearing the Austrian
eagle, and ocupled the enemy positions
along a front of (CO miles. An Austrian
squadron bombarded tho Italian coast on
tlu- Adrlatlo and Austrian aeroplanes
dropped 11 bombs on Venice.
"During this month the Italians over
ran the whole of Frlull. Tho capture of
Tolmlno nnd Oorltz, the two Austrian
strongholds, Is considered Imminent,
which would open tho way to Trieste;
while In tho Alpine region In tho province
of Trent they have Conquered peaks and
passes from which the picked Austro-
Hungarian troops have been unnblo to
dislodge them.
"Austrian activity has been chiefly dis
played In bomburdlng the Italian Adri
atic towns."

According to Mr. Olhbons. the English
