The Premier said that during the last few days exciting rumors were being circu lated regarding the losses. These rumors, he declared, were much ex aggerated. The Austro-Hungarian armies were withdrawn on the Piava front in order to spare lives, he de clared. since they must have sus tained very great losses had thev he !d that line. ••But. how great are our losses?" interrupted Deputy Ztinsky. "The number of prisoners taken ■! recently stated to be 18,000." the Premier replied. "I must, how ler correct that statement. The truth is that the Italians have taken 12.000. while 50.000 Italians fell in to our hands. In the case of an of fensive and a retreat this figure annot be termed excessively high Much sadder is the loss we suffered in dead wounded and sick: mostly ! sick. In tha tenth and eleventh' , Italian offensive we lost 80,000 to 'IOO,OOO men. Now. however our; ! losses are similar—about 100,000 men." Hungarians in a Rage Great excitement in the chamber! ' marked this declaration. The ' : Premier continued: "lam obliged to record this re-, !ft ret table circumstance. It is true. ; that of three bridges throw n across the Piave the uppermost unfor j tunately collapsed and then both of ! ' the others were carried away with; lit. This figure Includes the fallen j the slightly wounded and those j brought back as ineffe<jtives." A great uproar interrupted the Premier, anil there were cries of "they were all Hungarians." When quiet was- restored Premier Wekerle continued: "I mention these figures In order I to describe the situation with perfect HAHJUSBURO TELEGRAPH sincerity. Also, because our ememtesi will certainly portray these losses In I an exaggerated fashion and perhaps l also our public opinion. There are! also rumor* oirculatinu that on this occasion Hungarian troops were! called upon in excessively large numbers and that the losses ftll upon them only. Therefore 1 must point out tnat 33 Hungarian and 37 Austrian regiments participated in the entire offensive and retreat, or 4 7 percentage Hungarian and S3 Austrian "In the entire advance and re treat the Italian losses amounted to 150.000. far surpassing our losses in dead, wounded and sick. "A report also is being circulated that our u.sses were due to a lack of ammunition." l<nck of Food Taunl t A Peputy here shouted: of food!" The Premier replied to this by de- claring that "our army never was so well provided with ammunition ftaj during the middle of June. "It is true," the Premier an- j nounced, "that of three bridges' thrown across the Piave. the upper-. most unfortunately collapsed and' both of the others were carried' away with it. Thus, unsurmount able difficulties arose in bringing' such provisions during the sensa-; tiona! retreat, which was followed! according 10 the regular plan, and 1 only a few troops who remained be-' ! hind who covered the retreat fell l , lno Italian hands. The entire" re-i i treat was carried out in such an I orderly and unobserved manner that j the Italians continued their attacks I on our former positions. "If. despite these regrettable events. I draw deductions from the whole it Is not to be doubted that, we inflicted important losses on the; Italians and prevented them from | sending a considerable part of their i troops to the western front, which i in the interest of the common con- 1 duct of the war is undoubtedly the I ! objective which it was our duty to I attain. This aim, too. we attained." i SERVICE IX>R SOLDIER Columbia, Pa., July 1. —Memorial j ' services were held in Grace I'nlted j, j Kvangelical Church on Sunday morn- | ling.in honor of Paul Revere Leber, 'a member, who was killed In battle 'in France.
