Blocked in their advance across the

forces, anu with their line of communi-
cations threatened by the rising wat
els OF that stream, austro-Hungarians
apparently have closed the first phase
oi their offensive against Italy.
Viewed after weeks of lighting. the
offensive has been little more than a
demonstration in force over battle
line of more than ninety miles In
length. Ii gained none of its detectives,
and cost the Austrians dearly.
The second phase of the offensive Is
expected to begin at any time, probably
m the mountain sectors, where large
bodies of men have been assembled.
The serious food shortage in Austria
Hungary has given rise to sensational
rumors. One, from Amsterdam. says
IN attempt had been made on the life
If Emperor Charles, but this lacks con-
firmation. There is little doubt, how
ever, that conditions in Austria are near
Il crisis. In a clash between police and

are reported killed or wounded.
