By special ncrr spondent to The Washington Herald.
London. June 1.-THE situation Of the
great campaign still turns at this mo-
ment upon the continuation of the Aus
tro German effort In Galicia.
The Austro- German forces still are con-
centrating there to their best effect.
Every man is being given to that often
sive and the smallest possible number is
being left upon all the remaining sections
of the line. barely sufficient to hold them
against breaking. 1t is also for this effort
in Galicia that the Austro-Germans are
concentrating all shells accumulated by
the excess of production over expenditure
during the winter.
In a word. the Galician front is for the
moment. the determining theatcr of war.
That it cannot long so remain is evident
apart from policy
Italy issued her mobilization orders
about three weeks ago. The new period
of mobilization is from twelve to four
teen days. In practice, concentration of
troops. especially with the comparative
restriction in rolling stock from which
Italy suffers, makes the full preparatory
period something more than three weeks
even with the full preparation which the
German empire enjoyed and the peculiar
facilities of communication on her north
western frontier.
Pressure to BE Felt Soon.
The main masses were not concen-
trated in Belgium until fully eighteen
days after the declaration of war. This
means that the pressure of Italian num-
bers will begin to be felt very shortly
now.
We must not exaggerate the effects of
this pressure. The Austro-Italian from
tier is, save upon a section of about
twenty-five miles, very difficult mountain
Gus country. in which A comparatively
small force upon the defensive can hold
a very strong offensive force.
1t remains true that the Italian first
line strength of 10000 men. backed by
heavy artillery which has been accumu-
lating its ammunition for five months and
excellent railway system, so far as inter
communication lines are concerned. will

He Denies Reports-Doing All that Could
Be Done, Legitimately.

Washington, d. G., June 6.Reports
that the United States had declined to
become party to efforts in various
neutral countries to make peace in Eu-

thing that could be legitimately done to
encourage any movement that might lead
to peace or an accommodation of inter-
ests in Europe. The president said Col
House, who recently investigated the
peace prospects in Europe, had not been
sent for by him, but he expected to see
the colonel here very soon At pres

daughters in Massachusetts.
