TRIBUTE PAID To VALOR
OF THE ITALIAN TROOPS

The Italian embassy today received
cable advices that the Partisan press
gives full praise to the valor of the
Italian troops on the firing line, al
though German propaganda has
sought to underestimate the effect of
participation of the Italians in the
important fighting of the period. The
Fernch papers pay tribute to the
heroism of the Italians and speak in
glowing terms of their magnificent
conduct under fire.
According to reports received by
the embassy today the Austrians are
Strengthening their lines on the AL
bania1i front.
In the past two days Italian cavalry
attacked the enemy's flank south of
Kuci and drove back the enemy's in
| fantry. which had profited by the
attack. The Austrian Gen. Phanzer
had ordered the location of machine
guns on the heights north of Kuci to
prevent his own troops, which were
held under the Italian fire, from pass
| ing.
| From Zurich came reports that the
! best Austrian troops are massing
themselves behind Trentino. while ali
elements that are not German were
removed. There is a continual and
| intense massing Of artillery by the
Austrians.
The Italian press commends the ac-
| tion of the allies in supporting the

HUNS HOPE FOR INITIATIVE.
Claim Armies in Fight Used Only
Their Own Reserves.

AMSTERDAM. August THE Ger
mans are not likely to remain on the
defensive long, according to Gen. Won
Ardenne, the military critic of the
Berlin Tageblatt.
ut is clear that the defensive battle
fought by our retreating troops will
not continue indefinitely" says Gen.
Won Ardenne, in that newspaper. The
German offensive has suffered an un-
pleasant interruption, but it will GER
tainly revive, and what will contribute
to it's revival is the. fact that the
armies between the Aisne and the
Marine were able to carry out their
operations with their own reserves.
without being obliged to draw upon
the other reserves, the unrest ricted

Attack Had Been Expected.
This new attack. launched just three
weeks after Field Marshal Foch's
mastery counter offensive against
the western side of the Soissons-
Rheims salient, has been expected
since The Germans were driven back
to the Aisne and the Vesle. II was
not believed that the allied COM
manders would permit the initiative
to pass to the enemy after the stun

offensive fighter and it has been pre-
dicted that a new blow would fall on
the German lines before they had
tkEle to reorganiZe their shattered di-
visions behind the Vesle and the
Aisne.
The Germans seem to have had
knowledge of the plans of the allied
commander-in-chie for during the
last ten days they have carried out
three local retirementS in the north
ern sectors of their line-two of these
Withdrawals being in the Picardy sa-
lient, one on each side OF Albert. along
