NO REALLY GREAT BATTLE
None Expected For Many Weeks Yet
italian Army is Coming
to the Front.

Vienna, June 3O.-By G. Shepherd,
United Press Correspondent. No real
ly great battle along the Austro-Ital-
ian front is expected for many weeks.
There has been no delay in the coming
of the Italian army to the front Mo-
bilization went forward with clocklike
precision.
The hospitals and red cross stations
in Venice and elsewhere along the
firing line are practically empty.
The Italian officers are elated over
the brilliant performance of their
troops to date. At Monfalcome, for
instance, large guns hurled shelly over
a pea6 mile high with wonderful
effectiveness, crashing upon the Aus
trian forces, every shot counting.
The Italian general is a master of
details The man who lines the Ital-
ian army has the satisfaction of know
ing that the. men behind him know
what is going on at the front.
King Victor Emanuel and Premier
Salandra are showing the greatest in.
terest in the conduct of the camp.
The Italian army quarter here is
composed of the biggest men physic-
ally Il have ever seen in any army.
One of the men waved his hand at me
and yelled: ooh, you kid" Cores
pondents are absolutely barred from
headquarters.
