Rome, May 21st.-After a protracted
Council meeting attended by Cabinet Minis
tiers, General Paolo Morrone, Mini ter of War,
issued a statement concerning the military
situation in connection with the Austrian
offensive, which will leave the italian Su-
preme Command perfectly tranquil. The
plans of the Italian military authorities can
not be divulged nor discussed, but it can be
stated hat measures have been adopted to
cope with any possible situation In
addition to direct action on the Italian front
it is expected that a general offensive
movement against the Austrians will be
made on other irons, especially in the Bal
kans and in Russia, and in addition q con-
temporaneous attack is to be sprung by
Italy's Allies in France. Meanwhile military
critics, including General Morrone, advise
restricting the Italian front by abandon
ing the far advanced positions in order to
be better able to repulse the Austrians,
whose forward move along the Trentino front
already has lasted a week. This action is n
repetition of what Austrian Generals did
more than o century ago, when Napoleon
attacked Austria from the Isonzo river. The
Austrian Staff. it is believed, hopes to invade
Italy along the Adige river valley, thus fore
ing the Italians to abandon their offensive
on the eastern front for fear of having their
main army trken in the rear. For this at
tack Austria, which had 80 divisions on the
italian front, augmented them by II, six Of
which were drawn from Russia, aud six
from the Russian front.
