Recedino Hope Of the Teutons.

The news from the Italian front is
almost too good to he true, and yet
1t has seemed probable since "a hours
after the Austriansdrive began The
Austrian attack with all the forces
and guns that could be mustered
along a hundred mile front, was a
failure from the start. The enemy
had failed utterly to estimate allied
strength in Italy or the morale of the
italian army defeated last fall by
treachery and deceit rather than by
strength Of arms.
Today the Italian army is a better
fed, better munitioned, better cour-
aged force than Austria has before
encountered. Italy has powerful
friends now. that are to stay with
her to the end. All Italy is aware of
1t and is heartened by the knowl-
edge.
And today Austria knows it, too.
Austria is whipped, and the army
knows it, even if the people at home
are yet in ignorance. What the Ct
feet of the present retreat will be
upon the people is cur highest hope,
for the retreat comes at an hour
when Austria needed a great tr-
umph as sorely as at any moment Of
he.' history

say that Il great Austrian retreat be-

When all the facts are at hand it
will, probably, be learned that Aus
tria had sent a greater force across
the mountains than she could main

stand before n confident. determined
and well fed foe Underfed Austrian
troops soon lost their pep" They
struck hard but soon shot their

munitions were as soon startlingly
low as the food supply.
But back of 1t all the real cause is
the war weariness, the heart hunger.
the utter hopelessness of it all, in the
homes of Austria-the full realiza-
ton that Austria has lost all. what
ever the outcome; that Austria has
won nothing, even in victory: that
she has been made the dupe and the
tool, the catspaw and the willing
fool, of Prussianism: that after all
she (Austria) has done she may
starve, il by that process the
Hohenzollern ends may be served.
Behind the door of every poor

have not yet awakened to the whole
truth, but enlightened Austrians now
know that their only hope Of national
independence and recognition by the
world as a unit in the family of ma
lions, lies in the complete overthrow
of the Hohenzollerns and Prussian-
ism. Perhaps the seed has been
sown in the army. as it has been
sprouting in Poland, the Ukraine and
elsewhere.
Undoubtedly Germany will make
Herculean efforts to stem the Aus
trian break toward disorganization.
That may be possible, for we must
remember the sudden Teuton drive
into Russia and then into Italy, last
year, to halt the world apparent dis
aster then threatening in the dual
monarchy. Has Germany another
card to play to hold her chief ally?
II not Austria is near The end Of her
usefulness to the Kaiser unless he
defeats the allies and continues to
dominate central Europe.
1t is too much to hope that Austria
is out Of the war--only internal up
heaval joined by the soldiery can cf-
feet that-but certain it is that she
is on the brink of national disaster
Rome denies the Austrian claim of
10000 Italian prisoners. 1t is de-
clared that Austrian officers sent out
this lie to hide their failure. Italian
officias say that 10000 covers all
their losses in the drive-killed,
wounded and missing; while the
Austrian losses are from 10000 to
20coo
Let US not hope too much from
these things, or from the tales
brought home from Germany by
Americans who have just reached
this country after long residence in
Teuton lands and adjacent neutral
countries. They say that the Ger
man people never talk OF victory now.

man major told an American girl:

private said to another American:
Some day we are all going 10 put
down our arms. Why should we
fight? Our officers now, instead of
leading US, go behind us with their
guns at our backs"
On the day that German, or even
Austrian, soldiers lay down their
arms, the end will be in sight but we
must not expect it yet. The war

The city Of Saco has another real
estate mystery. which calls to mind
the famous Yorkville land secret of
some years ago. when the York Man
ufacturing CO. bought over 1000 acres
Of land in the Ferry district at q cost
Of over 100000. The parishioners of
the Baptist church we're seen last
week by Fred c. Bradbury, who
bought the land for the York. and
asked if they would sell the parson-
age and church at the corner of Main
and Cross streets.
He said that the party for which
he was acting as agent would spend
some $4,000 in building plant for
educational purposes for young peo
pic if they could buy the property.
He would not give the name Of the
party who was after the church pos
sessions. Wednesday evening at a
special meeting the church people
voted not to sell. This means that
the city will lose the school, as no
other property will answer the pur-
pose.
