Archduke in Command of Beaten Army Left With Stock of Victory Medals.

(New York Times- -Chicaro Tribune- El Paso Times Cable Service. Copyright 1918.) Milan, July The latest Austrian and German papers received here afford truly delicious reading about the defeat. The Bayerische Kurrier brands Field Marshal Hoetzendort as a rash, stuck-up ignoramus, who has never shown any mark of military ability and expresses the hope that Emperor Karl will have the good sense 10 place him on the shelf forthwith. Even Generalissimo Boroevic failed to give any of unusual capacity, says the German organ, and after miserably poor showing made by the other Austrian commanders, the kaiser has no option but force Austria to accept the German general staff lest to, the whole Teutonic alliance become Involved in military disaster. Austrian Marshals Scored.

The Liepziger Tageblatt defines the worst fault of the Austrian marshals as their having missed to secure even the initial success of a general surprise, on the other hand, the Dresden Neueste Nachrichten seems to console German disappointment at "the slight want of success of the Austrian arms," by the assurances that Austrian reinforcements al'e already on the march to give a terrific battie elsewhere, and that much sooner than might be expected, Italy will learn how inferior she is and how untenable are her positions. Archduke Has Medal on His Hands. The Wiener Tageblatt, in holding out 1 the same hope, tries to disarm the bitter, German criticism by showing the thwarted Austrian plans had the explicit approval of the German staff. The most comic side of the pieture is found in the fact that the supreme commander, the Archduke Eugene, in anticipating an overWhelming Austrian victory, has struck off a special medal bearing his own effigy on one side and the Austrian eagle with wings outspread over the Dolomit to the sea ch the reverse, with the inscription "Indivisibilitor Ac Inseparabiliter." In view of impossibility of distributing it among the routed armies, this pretty medal has been put on the market at the price of seven kronin. Blame Weather for Disaster.

war correspondent of the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna on the Plave front, describing the Austrian defeat, which he attributed to the fury of the elements, says that "not the Italians, but the rain, triumphed." He adds: "South of Nervessa in the plain near San Dona and Capo Site, General Wurm's storm battalions are over the river and canal. From Treviso, General Diaz sends against them the Thirtieth and Twenty-seventh corps, and Lieutenant General Groe's corps newly formed from 18- year-old youths. The most important objective is attained. "The summit of the Italian hinge position is thrust through by the storming of Montello. The rolling up of the whole of the Piave front from here appears possible indeed.

"Nature then pronounces its inexorable and cruel veto. Heaven opens and a deluge descended. The mountains from crevasses made in them by time, overflow as if weeping, and all the waters empty themselves Into the Plave, which rises rapidly. "The upper bridge is torn away by the irresistible pressure of the water, and the pontoons, loosened by the force of the waters, are driven against the lower bridge and pushed through it. "The Italian artillery has In the bridges targets which cannot be missed.

For a long time, fountains like the spouting of whales ascend from the river in ever quicker suecession. "Suddenly airmen also appear. They came down silently from a great height in far-reaching volplanes. Now their motors hum again and their machine guns rattle. A rain of steel pelts down on the pontoons, which sink, riddled.

"The guns of the defense bark from the bank, and fragments of their shrapnel endanger the lives of their own men, men whom they wish to protect, one, two, three, of the Capront bombarding planes descend, shot down, one In the mud of Montello. A Nieuport comes down like a torch hurled from heaven. famous airman. Major Barracca, is a heap of ashes. His list of victories is the same as that of his victorious adversary, Captain Brumowicy, who conquered thirtyfour opponents; Lieutenant von Hoffmann, in peace time a ministerial official In Vienna, and his band dashed against the biplane.

"Like raging bulldogs, the English now advance on their furiously swift against our airmen. Engineers, artillery and infantry, nothing, absolutely nothing, avails. The enemy airmen are too numerous, the enemy's shells too many, dredfold, bridge builders work "Like Sizyphus, multiplied a hunincessantly. They fall and disappear in the flood without 8 cry, They launch new pontoons, they think out new methods of transport from bank to bank. Nothing helps, absolutely nothing avails.

Six times are bridges and footways completed, six times are they destroyed. "The divisions yonder on the green tortoise of Montello, which resembles so completely in situation and importance the Podgera heights on the other side of the Isonz0, right with uncovered rear, with heavy artillery, without reinforcements in men, muniLions or provisions. foot bridge is repaired. At last, the weather clears up, but renewed tempests of rain tear the bridge away again. And then the army command took the resolution, a hard but necessary one, to withdraw behind the Plave again." FOURTH AT CAMP KEARNY.

Camp Kearny, San Diego, July Independence Day activity here centered today around a celebration at the detention camp, where six thousand draft recruits, the June quota from California, are undergoing training. Baseball games supplanted drill for the draft men, with some boxing and wrestling matches tonight, as an added feature. The 158th (Arizona) infantry band furnished music for the occasion.

8. G. A. HAMMEL. Here are photographs of some American prisoners in Germany, and of what gives them that well well-fed look.

The top picture shows the contents of one of the 20pound packages of American Meats' which are sent, one each week, to every American in a German prison camp from the Red Cross warehouses at Berne. It includes meat, fish, beans, tomatoes, prunes, hard bread, suit, pepper and sugar and cigarettes The lower photograph shows four American naval prisoners at Brandenburg. It bore back the words: "James Delaney, Chairman, American Help Committee," and the Brandenburg postmark. The fact that the men look so well-fed, well-clothed and contented probably explains why the German censor passed the photo. Ideals of Freedom and Justice Stronger Than All Batteries of Krupp By Associated Press.

Daniels, "but all is not staked on a single battle and neither reverses off land nor sinkings of merchant vessels (a species of piracy on a par with that which Jefferson stamped lout when he was president) will avail, because the Americans and their brave associates with immortal of 'despicable deeds' have the "unconquerable will' and never to submit or "11 may take weeks, it may take months, it may take years.
