By J. w. T. MASON,
United Press War expert.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Italy has
wrested the offensive from the Aus
tro Hungarians. How far the init
ative can be pressed depends upon the
condition of the heavily flooded Piave
river.
The Austro-Hungarian troops on
the western bank Of the river were
cut off from their bases of supplies
by the impossibility of transporting
materials across the torrential stream,
Italy may encounter similar diflcul-
ties in following up the present drive
against the invaders, If the Piave
suddenly returns to its normal slug
gishness, the retreat Of the Hapsburg
armies may then be turned into a dis
astrous riot, that might force the
Austro- Hungarians to abandon all the
Italian territory they now hold.

of our people moving pictures are the

Tortured Friends
Of Condemned Men
Names of Six to Die Withheld,
Kin of 19 Stood at Prison
Gates All Night in Agony.

LONDON, June 24.-The little
Belgian newspaper, Anne Beige, which
continues to be issued in spite of all
the efforts of the German authorities
to suppress it, gives an account Of Of
some recent atrocities at Charleroi.
Nineteen persons, including women,
merchants, priest and railway Off
cials, were tried for spying on the
movements Of German troops. Six
Of them were condemned to death,
but their relatives were not told the
names of the victims, and passed days
Of agonizing suspense.
Wives and children Of men who
were under arrest stood all night at
the prison gates, their feeling alter
Mating between hope and despair.
Not until the bodies Of the victims
we're brought out after the execu-
tions was it possible to know who
were killed and who Rad been spared.

Next Two Months
Crucial Period
Coming of Great Blow Predict
ed by Lloyd George-Allies
Are Prepared.

London, June 24.-Premier Lloyd
George announced today that the
next couple of months would be an
xious ones. There might be great
blow coming in the next few hours,
he said, and certainly in the next few
days, and on this blow the issue of the
campaign might depend. The entente
allies, he added, never felt better pre-
pared to meet it. Premier Lloyd
George said the Austro-Hungarian
forces were in full retreat. The ques-
ton now was, he added, whether they
will be able to effect a retreat.
The premier, who made his an
nouneement in the house OF com
mons, referred to the amazing organi-
zation which was bringing American
troops to France.
Enough Americans" he added,
"have arrived to satisfy the allies and
to disappoint and ultimately defeat
our foes"
Mr.. Lloyd George emphasized the
difficulty and almost impossibility OF
dealing with Russia, with her many
differing and changing governments.
He agreed, however, that it would be
to the interest of the British people
and also just and equitable, if Russia
wanted it, that Great Britain stand
by Russia.
It was possible that within short
time, the premier said, the allies
would be stronger than Germany. The
enemy, he declared, had no further
reserves to call upon after another Of
fensive except by a drastic eombinl
out of the essential industries whicl
he already had started.

Austro-H Hungarian Forces May Be Forced
To Abandon Italian Territory Now Held

sive of the Italians is of magnitude
the retreat of the Austro-H Hungarian
forces from their newly won positions
must certainly contribute to the spirit
of the revol at home. The adoption
of Won Hindenburg's strategy Of
slaughter by Austro-Hungarian lead
ers will now pTofoundly react against
German influences in the Dual mon
archy. The casualties suffered by the
Hapsburg forces have been very
heavy in their adventurous imitation
of Hindenburg's ruthlessness. There
can be no adequate explanation to the
Iwar-weary mohs in Austria Hungary
crying for food and for peace. Aus
tria-Hungary has not the militaristic
spirit of her arrogant northern neigh
Dor. There is good reason to believe
the population of the Dual monarchy
did not approve of the drive against
Italy from the start. Otherwise, thefe
would have been less demonstrative
attitude of protest against the food
shortage while the drive was under
way.

successor to Baron Wimborne, who
has resigned the lord lieutenantship,
while the committee appointed to draft
bill up to this time has settled
virtually nothing. except the preamble.
It's deliberations, 1t is added, are
held upon the issue Of giving the veto
to Ulster and also In considering past
ministerial promises to Ulster.

The only way out Of the difficulties,
In the opinion Of responsible labor
members Of the house of commons, Is
that the government temporarily abaE.
don both conscription and home rule.
1t is nowise improbable, adds the

It is reported in political circles that
the more extreme elements of the

against any form of home rule, and a

unionist committee in Ireland suggests
that the rumors are welf founded. Sir
Edward says in part:
I'm the present condition Of Ireland
1t seems to me little short Of insanity
for any government to reopen the
question Of home rule. This indeed is
