ITALY AND GERMANY RESPECT PRIVATE PROPERTY.

AUSTRIAN CENTRE PIERCED. ROME, June 11. Italy has signed a convention with Germany to respect private property despite the fact that Germany's property in Italy is estimated at some millions of francs, while Italian interests in Germany are small. Italians traversing the Ansa Valley towards Rover, discovered that the Austrian s had wrecked and abandoned the Pozzaechio Fort, a great stronghold, wheron four years of labour had been bestowed. The heavy guns had been conveyed to Galieia. The capture of Morifalcone drives a wedge in the Austrian centre just below Canale, threatening their complete envelopment.

The invaders reached Monfalcone through flooded marshes. The Archduke Eugene 's headquarters are at Laibanes.

Official. — The enemy left two hundred dead and four hundred wounded at Preikofel, and we- took 220 prisoners.

The enemy's counter-attacks were repulsed with" heavy losses.
