ITALIANS SMASHING
THE AUSTRIAN LINE
HURL BACK ENEMY ON VITAL
SECTOR OF sNoWBoUND
NORTHERN 'FRONT.'.
Has Suddenly Become Menacing Foe
for War-Weary Austro-Hungarian
Masses, and Renew Confidence
Of the Allied Forces.

LOndOn.-At a moment when the
Austrian "hOme front" is on the brink
of collapse the Italians have dealt Il
staggering blow to the dual monarchys
army.
On a front of nearly ten miles be-
tween the Asiago and the Brenta river,
where a few weeks ago the Teutons
were but eight miles from the Vene-
tian plains and victory, General Diazs
northern army surged forward on jan
uary 20, through two feet of snow and
in a fierce foot-to-foot combat pressed
back their opponents, throwing them
from important dominating positions.
That airplanes aided materially in
the fighting is indicated in the Italian
official communication, which asserts
that during the progress Of the battle
the enemy lost twelve aircraft.
Fifteen hundred prisoners, among
them sixty-two officers, were taken.
Over night, Italy, which was to have
been "put out of the war" before snow
fell, has once more risen to a dOminat-
ing plane in the allied military calcu-
lations. For the Teutons she has sud
denly become the most menacing foe,
for if the success is followed up and
the Austrians suffer large-scale de-
feat the effect upon the war-weary
AustrO-H Hungarian masses will be meal
culable. Moreover, Hindenburg faces
new "ultimatum" from the Austrian
staff and may have to throw his ambi-
tious western plans overheard to save
| the ally.
Warm praise is given in General
Diaz's report for the effective co-opera-
ton of the French and British armies.

ALLIES TO FIGHT ON
UNTIL JUST PEACE
SUCH Is DECISION REACHED At
CONFERENCE OF CHIEFS
At VERSAILLES.
Finds No Approximation to the Terms

Won Hertiino and the Aus
trian Minister.

LOndOn-The supreme war council,

1.-THE council was unable to find in
Won Hertling's and Czernin's recent
'utterances any real approximation to
the moderate conditions laid down by
the allies governments. Under the cir
cumstances, the council decided that
the only task before them to meet was
the vigorous and effective prosecution
of the war until the pressure of that
effort produced change of temper in
the enemy governments, justifying the
hope Of the conclusion of peace
based on the principles Of freedom, JUS
ltice and respect for international law.
1.-THE council arrived Mt complete
'unanimity of policy on measures for
the prosecution Of the war;"
In Session Five Days.
The supreme war council was con-
ivened on Tuesday at Versailles,
France, under the craftsmanship of
Georges Celmenceau, premier of
France, and ended Saturday. 1t had
been f0recasted that the council SEES
sion would be important and that at 1t
!lnOmentOus decisions would be
reached, both as regarded the prosecu-
ton of the war and the possibilities of
peace.

ARGENTINA BREAKS
WITH THE KAISER
SINKING OF STEAMER CAUSES
WAVE OF REVOLT AGAINST
THE HUNS.
Military Attaches Recalled From Ber-
lin and Vienna and Attitude Of
Neiohboring Republics Toward
Teutons 10 Approved.

BuenOs Ayres.-The ministry Of war
has recalled Argentina's military at
taches from Berlin and Vienna. In
political circles this action is regarded
as significant and connected with the
sinking of the Argentine steamship
MinistrO Irriendo January 20.
The Argentine minister to France
has confirmed the fact that the steam
ship was flying the Argentine flag
when sunk. The government has not
announced by what authority the
ing this countryside vessel having
sailed under the French flag-but re-
ports the sinking as an unfriendly act
even though the use Of the home flag
was unauthorized. The assumption in
political circles here is that Germany
does not intend to keep her promises
in regard to Argentina's shipping.
After an unusually long lapse of
time the foreign office has replied to
the notes of Peru and Uruguay, which
notified Argentina of their rupture Of
relations with Germany, and that of
Brazil informing Argentina of her sis
ter cOuntry's state of war with the cen
trail powers.
Approves Break With Teutons.
Argentina, in the three notes sent
in reply, expressed her appreciation
and warmest sympathy with the three
other South American countries. The
note to Brazil, which was the most sig
nificant, says that the Argentine gov
eminent has followed all the phases of
the causes which led to "this just res
olutiOn," and closes with an expression
of homage to the Brazilian nation.
These notes and the simultaneous re-
call of the military attaches from Ber-
lin and Vienna are regarded as indi-
eating that the country Is verging on
a crisis in it's international relations.

Are Vacated.

to this effect have gone out from WISH
ingtOn, it is understood.
Advance supplies of equipment TOT
the new cOntingents now are Delhg as
sembled at the camps and environments
in various sections of the country. Sec
rotary of War Baker has insisted ON
the accumulation Of ample stocks OF
clothing and other necessary supplies
before the additional men reach camp
The work is being rushed. Advlccs that
clothing and supplies would be ready
in time were received before the pro-
yOSt marshal general decided on the
order recurring the induction OF the
final quotas into military service.
Call includes $4,000 Men.
An aggregate of about 10000 men
will be sent TO camp under the new
orders.
The date of the second draft call Is
dependent on the removal of troops
now in training, it was learned Sunday
There is no plan under consideration
which calls for new environments or ex-
tensive eulargements of existing camps.
The second draft apparently will not
apply to all states simultaneously.
Transfer of the men of the first ma
tiOnal army is regulated by the avail
ability Of ships. AS transports become
available, cOntingents which have COM
pleted their home training will be sent
abroad. Registrants to be called under
the second draft will be ordered into
military service as camp space becomes
available.
Steady Movement Planned.
This would provide Il period of con-
tinuOus training. Fresh troops would
be ready for service in Europe at all
times under this plan. Secretary OF
War Baker is understood to he favor
able to this scheme. Secretary Baker
has stated that there is legal author
ity to call as many as 1OOO.OOO men
under the second draft. He hardly
thought it would be necessary to call
that many, however.
Officials of the provost marshal gen.
erals office are now working out Il
scheme for the registration and classi-
ficatiOn of the men who have reached
the age of p years since June s. The
bill placing these men under the selec-
tive service regulation is expected to
be pushed with but little delay. 1t is
pending in congress now.
