Austrian Offensive Impends,
Observers Believe; En-
peror Charles Visits
Front.

Washington, D c.. April 16.-An
Austrian offensive against Italy is i'm
minent and will be started on large
scale, in the opinion of Italian observ-
ers as expressed in official messages
today to the Italian embassy here. The
recent visit of Emperor Charles to the
Austrian front and inspired articles in
the Austrian and German newspapers,
the usual forerunners Of an offensive,
are taken as an indication.
THE Vossiches Zeitung of Berlin, in
an article full Of mysterious illusions,
says this spring will put Switzerland's
neutrality under the severest test as
the Austrc-German troops in the
course of their operations will prob
ably encircle the little republic" the
dispatch says. 1.-THE Manneihemer An.
zeiger urges that the German often.
sive in France be complemented with
a similarly irresistible drive against
the Italians and against the British in
Palestine, which would prevent the
transfer of the allied reserves from
one front to another"

Trawlers Are Destroyed In
Cattegat Raid By Grand
Fleet Under Vice Admiral
Sir David Beatty, Com
mander In Chief.
ACTION MAY PORTEND
GREAT SEA BATTLE

London, April 16.-Ten German
trawlers have been sunk by gunfire in
the Cattegat between Sweden and
Denmark, the admiralty announces.
Their crews were saved by British
ships There were no British casual
ties.
The operations in the CatteRat, the
statement says, were undertaken by
the commander in chief Of the grand
fleet.
MAY FORECAST BATTLE
In view Of the recent rumors of pos
sible naval activities by the Germans
to accompany their land offensive the
news that British naval forces have
tegat is significant.
Still more significant seems the form
of the British announcement, which
comes in report from Vice Admiral
Sid David Beatty, commander in chief
of the grand fleet This would appear
to indicate that the grand fleet is out,
and possibly presages most important
naval developments.
TO REMOVE MINES
The operation was undertaken yes
terday for the purpose Of sweeping the
Cattegat Of mines, the report shows,
and may still be in progress. What
further effort If any. the operation I'M
plies, cannot we'll be forecast. It is
Indicative Of intensified British naval
activities, at any rate, If not prelim-
mary to far more important operations
on the part Of the British naval forces.

STRIKERS SENT TO WAR
STRIKERS and such persons as had
caused offense politically are put into
the army as punishment.
THE soldiers in general complain Of

commissioned officers employed in the
canteens continually take food home,
enrichIng themselves by taking what
eat as much as they like while the SOL
diers receive bad meat. There are
troops which have been named hunger

Those undesirable politically get no

that soldiers 4S years of age still are
in the trenches.
Soldiers at home were often EN-.
