Of High Command

IStof Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The change
in the Austrian high command on the
Italian front foreshadows an Austro-
German effort to break through the
Italian dcfcnces, reach the plains via
Bassanos and hurl back General Daz's
army to the Adigc, if not put Italy en-
tircly out Of the war, according to
Italian military officers here.
An Italian authority said to-day:
"Marshal Conrad Won Hoctzcndorf
retains command of the section Of the
Italian front which is really dangerous
to us, the mountain front. The enemy
has not abandoned his idea that the
Italian front is fundamental and the
one which promises him speedy
military decision that would be vital

will attempt to come down to Bassano

for this, concentrating back of their

ing to secure a military success which
would put italy out Of the war. It
would be wise on the part Of the AL
lies TO keep their eyes open and to pre-
vent any such thing happening. The
fact that Conrad remains in command
Of the mountain front proves that the
enemy is fully aware that the field
marshal is a competent leader for an
offensive movement on this front.
ut was Conrad who prepared the
plans for an invasion of Italy, even
while Italy was member Of the Triple
Alliance 1t was he who led the Aus
tran offensive along the Trentno
front in 1916, and his plans then failed
only because the Italians possessed
sufficient reserves and material to
Illustrate them.
Meaning Of Changed Command
"The change in the Austrian COM
mand is rather a readiustment. which
has proved most dangerous to the Al
lies. The Italian front-s the front on
which the Austro-G Germans have placed
their hopes OF ultimate success.
"Germanv is probably not in po-
sition to obtain the necessary superb
GRITTY on the West front, and it is
likely she will try to hold her present
lines there. But Italy, although sup

equipped TO withstand the whole
