Paris, May 25.-An attack by Aus
trian warships on the eastern coast Of
italy, along the AdriatIc, is announced
In official communications from the
Italian war office. transmitted to Paris
by the correspondent OF the Havas
agency. 1t Is said the Austrian war
ships were forced to withdraw after a
short cannonade.
The statement follows:
TT was foreseen that on the dec
Iaration of war, offensive action would
occur against our Adriatic coast, with
the purpose of seeking moral effect
rather than attaining a military pur-
pose. But we were able to prepare for
these and render their duration short.
Small naval units OF the enemy es-
pecially destroyers and torpedo boats,
fired their guns upon our Adriatic coast
on May "a, between 4 and 6 o'clock
In the morning. At the same time,
a~eroplanes attempted to attack the ar
senal at Venice.
"The enemy's ships, after a very
short cannonade, were forced by our
torpedo boats to withdraw. The en-
emy's a%eroplanes were fired upon by
our anti aircraft artillery and at
tackled by our aeroplanes and by a
dirigible flying over the Adriatic.
The aeroplanes attacked Porto
Corsini, which replied Immediately and
Ancona, where the attack was directed
especially against the railway line, in
the intention of interrupting commu-
nication, slight damage was inflicted,
which can be repaired easily.
"At Barletta an attack was made by
a scout steamer and destroyers which
were put to flight by one of our ships,
which was escorted by torpedo boats.
Finally. at Gesi, the enemy's aero
planes attempted to throw bombs upon
the hangar, but without reaching the
mark.
"An other news Of operations last
night has no foundation"
It is apparent from the foregoing
dispatch that Austrian a~eroplanes have
swept virtually the entire eastern coast
Of Italy. From Venice at the head or
the Ariatic they have. made their way
rs far south as Barletta, a distance of
$50 miles, committing acts Of hostility
during their progress.
Rome, May "a, (via Paris).-The news
Of the aerial attacks on Italian sea-
ports and the aggression of Austrian
Rarships on the eastern coast of Italy
was received in Rome with a sense of
telief, for the reason that 1t showed
hostilities had been opened by Austria
Hungary. 1t is evident that the Italian
people are standing firm and there are
many indications Of their discipline and
high spirits. Even those. who for rea-
IONS Of principle are opposed to war,
have asked to be permitted to serve
their country in the ranks of the Red
Cross.

ANTICIPATE AN OFFENSIVE
MOVE BY AUSTRIAN ARMY

Rome, May 25.-Exceedingly strong
forces are in position all along the
Austro-Italian frontier, on the Austrian

have been going on the last few days,

possible and to clear the way for eff
eective artillery action.
About 800, 900 Bavarians and Hungari-
ans have already been concentrated
against Italy, Austrian insuring th6
commissariat service. Although Field
Marshal Baron Concrad Won HoetZen-
dorf, chief of staff OF the Austrian ar
my, had prepared for many years for
a possible outbreak OF war between
Austria and Italy, the belief is held
here that the campaign will be con-
Quoted by the German general staff,
which, II is said. has planned a strong
offensive movement against Italy, in
the hope of breaking the italian lines
and forcing their way into Italian te:-
ritory, thereby ~arousing alarm, and
strengthening the feeling favorable to
peace. Should such an attempt fail,
through the resistance of the Italian
army, the Austrians and Germans
would then have to resort to defen-
sive measures against a certain inVa-
sion. The Austrian defenses are par
ticularly strong and have been con
structed everywhere, ever along the
DdlIudlldH SOdSb, mlllSh u diiSadS piO-
tected by fixed and floating mines and
guarded by a dozen submarines, car
rying German officers n sailors.
The austrian fleet is centered at
Pola, with only a few torpedo boats
and destroyers at Cattaro and Spa
lato. other Austrian warships are in
the Dalmatia archipelago on the north
east coast Of the Adriatic sea. Naval
men here do not consider it likely that
the Austrian fleet will leave Pola, I'M
less forced by an Italian attack.
