AUSTRIAN RETREAT IN TRENTINO IN PARTS A ROUT.
. CAVALRY REQUIRED TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ENEMY. ITALIANS REGAIN GROUND CONTINUOUSLY FOR 60 HOURS. MILAN. JUNE 27. For 60 hours the Italians have continuously regained ground, while the enemy's retreat at certain points has developed into a rout. North of Asiago the retirement was so precipitate that the Italian infantry lost contact with the enemy, and the cavalry for the first time advanced through thick woods and up the steep hills to engage and hold the enemy's rearguard. Everywhere the Austrians are abandoning arms, provisions, and transport, while the line of retreat is littered with dead and wounded.
