He insists Russia began fighting and remains in the war, while the new republic argues others should shoulder the burden. German successes near Riga spur the question of British aid. Cadorna's forces hold positions behind the Tagliamento as Austro German advances reach riverbanks and bridgeheads along a 30 mile front. The Italian army retreats to the east bank of the river, destroying stores and ammunition.
