Another Blow Not improbable.

But in any event We see now that
the Austrian defeat can hardly be
transformed into Jena; the Austrian
retreat does not recall in extent or
naste the retreat of the Germans
from the Marine. The Italians do not
seem to have undertaken any very
serious attempt to press the Austri-
ans far beyond the east bank of the
Piave, and the situation seems to be
stabiltzing itself on approximately
the lines of the two armies before the
Austrians launched their attack. If
this condition prevails, then our estf-
mate Of the italian victory at the
Pave Will have to be that it was a
magnificent defensive battle. followed
by prudent refraining from any
dangerous offensive until the inevita-
pie second enemy blow had been par
ried. This does not diminish the
brilliance of the Italian achievement:
this does not lessen it's value at this
time. but 1t should lead to caution in
predicting an immediate collapse Of
Austrian armies.

Evening star., 1918-06-29
BY FRANK H. sIMONDs.

The decisive turn Of the Piave contest
came last Saturday and such immediate
consequences as were to be expected by
reason of Italian victory may fairly be
estimated to have been developed by the
present time. Therefore. 1t is Of utmost
interest and significance to note that,
having pushed a beaten foe across the
Piave, Italy has declined to venture upon
an offensive of her own at this time,
and in measure. at least, has resumed
the defensive.
Such a surprising course must require
explanations which have not yet been
made. Given the extent Of the victory
and the degree -,of 'disarray, however
temporary, resulting in Austrian ranks,
Diaz's troops might have been expected
to go at least as far as the Tagl!amento
and clear the Austrians out of half Of
occupied Venetia. Moreover, we are
pretty well informed that Austria, so far
back as last winter, prepared her main
line Of resistance to any Italian offensive
behind the Tagliamento.
Meaning Of italian Strategy.
What. then. is the meaning of the
Italian strategy? A great offensive
has been repulsed with terrific losses
and it has manifestIy resulted In
further weakening the morale of the
army of a nation whose civilian mo-
rale is notoriously low. Such reports
of the battle of the Piaye as we have
show that at the end the Austrians
retired in a disorder which at GER
tain points approximated rout, leav-
ing guns, prisoners and material be-
hind them. Why were they not pur-
sued east of the Piave and at all haz-
ards?
Probably because the italian high
command recognized that there was
gathering new thrust in the Tren-
tine mountains, probably because it
learned of a hasty concentration of
German divisions on the north of
Asiago and in the upper Brenta val
ley. AS it looks now, only one-half
Of the Austrian blow was delivered.
In the mountains the fighting never
reached the severity or the extent
which 1t had in the plain. From many
different sources comes the sugges-
ton that the enemy troops in the
mountains were awaiting a certain
measure Of progress in the plain be-
fore they struck, and that progress
never came.
But this would leave the threat still
standing and 1t would make a wide
swinging pursuit of the Austrians in
the plain perilous while there was still
concentrated upon the exposed and
dangerous flank of italian armies
the masses of troops in the Trentino
and the upper Piave valley.
