They also captured the Corno di Campo Verde to the east of Grigno, on the Italian border and occupied Chiesa on the Vallarsa Plateau, southwest of Pasubio. By May 26, 1916, the center of the Austro-Hungarian army was sweeping down toward Arsiero, while another strong force further west was within ten miles of the Italian city of Schio.
As an Hungarian was mixed up in it, and an Hungarian of the rank and standing of Count Menko, the Austro-Hungarian authorities had immediately been advised of the whole proceeding.

I saw wild scenes of panic and flight that were both grotesque and revolting, and the cruel sport lasted for days.
And listen to this: 'Delegates of the Austro-Hungarian Government will take part in the investigation relating thereto. Austrian lawyers and probably judges investigating Servian subjects in Servia?
