CAPORETTO DISASTER
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITALY'S DEFEAT
ROYAL COMMISSION BLAMES
CADORNA
By Telegraph—Press Association—GoDyrteht (Rec. August 17, 5.5 p.m.) * ' Rome, August 14. The Italian Royal Commission which inquired, into the Caporefcto disaster says it was due above all .to . General Cadoraa's infallible absolutism and selfsufficiency. He was keenly jealous of possible rivals and intolerant of other people's views, thus stifling initiative and truth speaking. General Cadorna became fatally isolated and his vision blurred. He treated Ms. colleagues unjustly, deposed 217 generals, and condemned fifty thousand of the finest Alpine Bersaglieri to needless butchery. He used his strength to depose the Salandra Ministry, which had criticised him.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
