 Believing that under such condi- tions as the news indicates the enemy will be compelled to give up impor- tant booty, in material and prisoners to the victorious Italians, the news papers predict that the unquestion' able defeat will react seriously upor the population of the dual monarchy so sorely tried by hunger.
