ITALIAN FRONT
STRONGLY HELD
Allstrians Fighting Much Better
Organization IN the One
Which Broke Down
Last Year.
ARMY IS WELL EQUIPPED
Failure to Develop Success In
Alps May Lead Foch to
Launch Counter Of
fensive There.
Bv Associated Press,

Washington, d. c., June 1.-THE.
Austrian drive On the Italian front al
ready shows marked signs Of failure,
officials here believe. Advances in the,
initial assault, necessarily the most.
powerful attack in any offensive, are,
SO limited as to indicate the Australians
virtually had been halted in their
tracks.
No details have come that will permit
officers to form conclusions as to the
strategic plan the Austrian leaders are,
following. There are indications, how
ever, that the blow was struck more in
an effort to offset internal disturb
ances in Austria-IIungary than because
a prepared plan which promised a real
military success had been worked out.
Army Very Strong.
Reports of American military OBJ
servers with the Italian armies have
been recently received. it was learned
today, rating the Italian army as
among the best equipped and prepared
of the allied forces.
The recuperation OF the Italian force
after its disastrous withdrawal before
the Austro-German attack last year has
been remarkable.
May Give Foch Chance.
Failure Of the Austrians to get their
offensive in motion may furnish an OPP
portunity for an Italian counter move
ment on that front which will result
in a diversion on the western front
shout events show the Austrians can
be held, it seems TO observers here hat
General Foch, supreme commander,
may decide to strike his first counter
blow there. The German high COM
mand would be compelled to meet such
a move If it gained n Roadway, by
x,,;tII Yn ,t,;,,er ,N;o1.a1 I;Lii1.a fNo,,1 &hA
western front to support the Austrian
front. They could not permit their ally
to be seriously menaced as n popular
uprising in Austro- Hungary might re-
suit which would upset all German call
culations.
The staunch stand OF the Italians.
and their French and British ASSOC
ciates against the Austrlans is counted
upon TO greatly strengthen the morale
of the Italian army and people.

SOUTH DAKOTA WILL
BE DEBT FREE, JULY !

Pierre, S.. D.,June 17.-South Da-
kota, beside making all the donations
and investments which the government
has called for the last year, also has
taken the time to get out or debt, and
on the first of July will not have an
outstanding warrant, the call having
been made for all which are out. This
will leave no debts except that which
the capitol building fund owes, and as
that is owed to the state general fund,
there is no hurry in the matter of pay
ment. With a crop outlook put by the
government at over 100 per cent; with
the record of the only state which has
had over 80 per cent of her soldiers ac-
cepted, and with far over 100 per cent
on Liberty loan calls, and Red Cross
donations, and no debt the state is in
pretty good shape.
