AUSTRIAN ATTACK
ON ITALY FAILURE
Hundreds of Thousands Vast
ed in Vain Attempt to
Break Defenses.
INVADING FORCES EXHAUSTED
Plight of Enemy Increased by
Serious Lack of Water
and Provisions.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-Romc
dispatches today confirming earlier re-
ports of "A lull, after the fierce fight .
ling in which the Teutons failed TO
break thru the Italian lines. say the
Austro- German commander sacrificed
hundreds of thousands of his best men
without improving his position.
The fierce fighting of the last few
days has subsidized into a period OF
comparative calm. according to these
dispatches. The superhuman resist
ance of the italian soldiers prevented
the Austro Germans from attaining
the strategical advantages of their OBJ
iectlve, altho they succeeded in OBJ
tanning gains of purely tactical char
acter. The failure of the enemy at
tacks is indicated by the inactivity on
the entire front for three consecutive
days.
Invaders Exhausted.
The invaders have desisted from at
tacking the positions in the direction
of the Brenta canal on account of the
complete exhaustion of the forces en-
gagged.
This result Is so much more i'm
portant because of the German sys-
TEN of employing large bodies of
troops and of repeating the effort with
always increasing violence in order to
reach the goal. One must also con-
slider the fact that in mountain war;
fare victory will not produce the
desired effect unless il is Immediately
exploited with relentless action.
General Conrad has sacrificed hun
dreds of thousands OF his best soldiers
in successive assaults preceded by un-
precedented artillery preparation.
Wastage More Than Useless.
Today the position of the Austro-
Germans, while not improved by the
progress made, is in fact more unfa-
vcrable to them than at the beginning
of the offensive, because of the.diffl-
cultles Of revictualing the troops, 1t
being necessary for the iiavunsps 70
transport all the water to their posi-
tions. The heavy snowfalls of the sea-
son will also aggravate the hardship of
the enemy and threaten the lines of
communication.
1t may be stated, therefore, that the
central powers have failed to obtain
thei general objective. namely. to
break thru the Italian lines and lead
the victrious armies into the plains
OF Italy, where they expected to find
comfortable shelter during the win
ter months. Such failure is due to
staggering losses which the Italian SOL
diers were able to inflict upon the in
vaders.

From the Baltic sea to the mouth

An official dispatch from Jassy, the
Rumanian capital, says the armistice
is to continue for three months any
that the Teutons have agreed to all
the proposals made by the Rumanians,
except that providing that troops shall
not be removed to other fronts. This
proposal is still under discussion.
That the Austro Germans are re-
leving men from duty on the eastern
front and throwing them into the lines
in France and Italy daily becomes
more apparent by reason of the al
most continuous augmentation of their
forces in these regions. The belief
prevails that with the fighting ended

at least, the enemy is preparing for a
great offensive on the western front

CAVALRY DIVISION
TO BE ORGANIZED
First for Uncle Sam Since the
Civil War Days : Pershing
Likes Horsemen.
NOT NEEDED UNTIL SUMMER
These and Others Will Come
in Handy When American
[ Offensive Starts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-A di-
vision of regular cavalry. the first the
American army has had since Civil
war days. is being formed at El Paso,
Texas, officials said today. The step
was in preparation for eventualities
abroad and had no significance so far
as the Mexican border patrol was con-
cerned.
The division is to be organized un-
der the old army plan, with about
1900 men.
The project is part of the regular
plan OF the department. it Is under
stood, for the tactical organization of
the expanded regular army. The third
infantry division has already been
formed and modified at Charlotte. n.
c., and additional infantry divisions
are in process Of organization. 80.
Pershing Likes Cavalry.
There Is no present intention Of en-
ploying mounted troops with General
Pershing's forces. altho the general
officer is reported to have recommend
ed the creation of from three to five
cavalry divisions.
Employment by General Byng,
leader of the recent great British sur
prise attack, Of mounted troops, points
the way to the conclusion that 1t may
he advisable later. when the transpor-
tation situation is easier, to send over
cavalry in such numbers as the Ameri-
can staff may think wise. Should the
German line be broken by drive in
which American troops participated.
1t is not to be doubted that General
Pershing would need mounted forces
to drive home his attack in the open
country beyond.
Not Needed Abroad Now.
1t is argued that 1t would be mad
visable to send cavalrymen until there
Is prospect of need for them, which
hardly will be this winter. Besides the
transportation problem furnished by
the horses, another would nave to be
met to keep them supplied with feed.
Z 1t was emphasized that formation Of
the cavalry division at FL Paso re-
Elected no uneasness as to the border
situation. Winter has required the
withdrawal of the mounted troops
from the northern expansion camps.
