AUSTRIA PREPARING
TO STRIKE AT ITALY
Forty Divisions Gathering
From Eastern Front.

WAsuISGroN, March cS,-Forty new
Austrian divisions. approximately %so,-
900 men, have been distributed along the
Italian front. the Italian Embassy wa.
advised to-day by cable from Rome.
This activity has convinced Italian mill
.ary men that the battle in France will
not prevent an offensive against Italy.
This view also is shared by the allied
leaders. the cable said.
'"rha. the battle in France will not
prevent .se Austrian offensive against
Italy" said the message, ''is the we'll
founded opinion OF competent military
men Of Italy. The Allies are also OF
Nhis opinion, so much SO that not one
single man of the Franco-British forces
In Italy has been withdrawn, This
statement disposes of the assertion OF
the German communique that the British
forces In italy had been brought to the
French front.
"In connection with the expected drive
against Italy, II 10 stated that at least
forty new Austrian divisions have beer,
distributed along the Italian front. All
available artillery has also been trans.
ferred from the Russian and RumanlAr
fronts to the Italian front. Italy there
fore must be prepared for the coming
blow, which the situation In France may
have postponed, but which must be met
in the very near future"
