Austrian Hopes Revived.

Zurich. Oct. 2s.--Austrian hopes Of
a speedy and honorable peace" have
been raised by the Austro- German
successes on the italian front, the
president Of the Feichstat said in an
address to the deputies as quoted in
Vienna dispatches. He admitted there
had been great anxiety In regard to
Trieste which had not been removed.
The report Of the proceedings in
parliament adds that the German and
Polish deputies arose and cheered the
emperor and the army, implying that
the Gzeehs did not join ii the lemon
; 'stration.
The safety OF Trieste seems to be the
chief cause of rejoicing in Austria, The
Neue Freie Presse Of Vienna says that
ever sice Italy declared war the mon
archyS has not ceased to be anxious for
that city. It speculates as to whether
British and French influence Will prove
strong enough to prevent the collapse
Of Italy's war policy or whether the
mass Of the population. recognizing the
seriousness Of the situation will be-
come convinced peace is necessary.

Goritz, the capture of which was
the greatest feat Of the Italian often
sive in 1915, has been retaken by the
enemy.
The whole Of the Italian second and
third armies are in full fight and the
whole fruit Of their offensive which
threatened Trieste has been wiped out
Quit Without Fighting.
It was worse than a defeat Cow
ardice or treachery has played its part
The official statement issued in Rome
says that certain units Of the Italian
army retreated or surrendered without
a fight, permitting the Germans to
crumple up the Italian left wing on the
Julian front.
The extent Of the disaster is shown
by the official report issued in Berlin.
This tells of the capture Of more than
100000 men and 700 guns.
Exaggerated the Troops.
According to well informed circles
in London the number Of Austro Ger
man .reinforcements reported recently
to have arrived on the italian front
has been grossly exaggerated. So far
as is known here. only five German di-
visions are on the Isonzo front.
OF these, only three have been iden-
titled definitely by the Italians
as having participated in the attack.
It Is said to be possible that one other
German division may have arrived.
Two Of the five divisions identified
were sent from the western front,
where they were replaced by two dt-
visions from the Russian front Not
only has there been no diminution in
the number Of Germans on the west
ern front, but there has been actually
an increase Of two divisions since
Sept. 1.
Austrians Sent From East.
The other German reinforcements
have been transferred to the Italian
front from the Russian and Rouman-
ian fronts.
Regarding Austrian reinforcements
last month, only two Austrian divis-
ions are known to have arrived on the
Italian front from the east. Possibly
two others may have arrived recent
ly although they have not yet been
identified.
The total reinforcements, therefore,
which are known to have arrived on
the Italian front are seven. divisions,
and the Austro- German success is en-
tirely due to the presence Of from
three to FIVE German divisions who
attacked along the Plezzo- -Tomlin
line
Unfair TO Eastern Allies.
Exaggeration of the strength Of the
enemy on the Italian front is viewed
as unfair to the Russians and Rou-
manians, who. in spite of the Russian
collapse. were still retaining as many
divisions on their front as when the
Russian offensive began last July
It also is said to be an exaggeration
that the Italians were left to bear the
brunt OF numerically superior ene-
my whereas that is not the case
The Italians were fully prepared for
an attack, they were confident of sue
cess without the help of their allies and
is is asserted here. they now have a
considerable numerical superiority to
the enemy on the whole front.
