BLOW
AGAINST ITALY
BELIEVED NEAR
Favorable Opportunity Now Only
Need, Military Critics
Say
TO ATTACK MOUNTAIN LINE

Washington, D. c.. April j.--lndi
cations that the Austrians are waiting
only for favorable weather to launch
another attack upon the Italian front
were reported today in an official dis.
patch from Rome.
Some military critics" says tho
dispatch. ARE OF the opinion that
Austria intends to await the results
of the offensive in France before un-
dertaking to deliver the blow against
Italy, but great preparations are car.
ried on by the Austrians without in
terruption, and all the forces form
erly operating in Rumania under Mac
kensen have now been placed at our
front.
Italian aviators repoct that the
Austrians are transferring large bod
les of men from the Piave line to the
mountain zones. Evidently the Aus.
trian command has realized the i'm.
possibility of breaking through the
Italian resistance along the Piave and
regards the mountain line more suit
ed for the invasion of Italy.
New Fortifications.
Lately. the Austrians have under
taken the construction OF new fOrtl-
fications along the Livenza and the
Taglamento rivers, adopting new
system consisting OF points OF sup
port with several bridgeheads employ
ing in this work Italian prisoners and
the civilian population of the invaded
Italian Provinces
Renewal Of the German assaults
against the British and French lines
in picardy today indicated to military
observers here that the Germans,
having gathered strength during the
lull of the past few days, might now
be ready to launch their greatest ef-
fort. Some officers think the allied
commanders realize that only the first
phase of the gigantic battle has pas
sed, and that this pr0bab bly, accounts
for the fact that no extensive counter
movement has been undertaken.
Huns Hope DoseedIy.
1t is pointed out that the previous
record of the German high command
argues against any possibility that it
would be content with the minor
strategic advantages already gained
Wv thoir costly enterprise, or with the
abandonment of its plans without fur
1ner attempts to force apart the
French and British armies. The bat.
tie of Verdun continued for months
their object was unattainable. Prepar,
atoms for the present drive were so
much greater and the object sought
of so much Importance that officers
here are confident the German gen.
eral staff knew 1t was entering on
a long, bitter struggle when the as
sault was planned.
Under the new publicity policy, the
war department had nothing to add
to reports from abroad as to the sit.
uation at the front. II General Bliss
and Pershing sent in any advices,
they were not made public and casu-
atty lists from France again were
withheld. Major General March, act
ing chief of staff. said he had cabled
Secretary Baker for specific instruc
tons in this regard.

Washington, D. G., April 5.--Italy,
like the other allies, regards the rec
ent speech of Count Czernin. the Aus
tro- Hungarian foreign minister, as
merely another phase OF the Teuton.
ic peace offensive. An official dispatch
from Rome today says g.. t.. .
italian political circles consider
the speech of Count CZernin AS the
cleverest manifestation Of the Austro.
German pro-peace propaganda. In
spite. however, of the. apparently
graceful tone of the Czernin polemic
with President Wilson in order to as.
sure him that Austria recognizes his
sympathies for her. The Italian press
finds that the Austrian premier's &C
ceptance of the four fundamental prin-
ciples of President Wilson's second
message is fatty contradicted by the
very recent actions OF Austria. III
fact tremendous concentration OF
forces is being made against Italy and
Count Czernin declared in his speech,
that the French and Italian aspira-
tons are foolish Utopias.'
Occupy Russian Territory.
The Austro- German ministers, at
ter theoretically admitting some OF
the Maximalist points at Brest-Litovsk
have Immediately occupied a large
section of Russian territory, thus
showing once more that there is new
er correspondence between words
and deeds on the part of Germany and
Austria. The Austrian press at the
same time discusses the colonial prob.
lem in way as to put Austria in the
same line with Germany in regard to
the imperialistic aims of the central
powers. ..,..
The Italian press finds that the al.
legged respect for the integrity Of other
nations on the part of Austria can.
not be reconciled with the repeated
assertion that Italian provinces must
be occupied and kept. At Kratz Ger
man commission has passed resolu-
ton to the effect that Triest must be
assured to the central empires by a
further rectification Of the. Italian
frontier. The same motion advocates
the immigration to the Adriatic shores
OF .Germanic populations to replace
the Italian and Slavic elements living
there. The irreducible contradiction
between words and actions or projects
is thus emphasized"

Meeting
AMERICANS NOT CUTTERS

Fargo, n. d. April 5.-Men, money
and spirit, the latter being the most
important of the three, will win the
war, Federal Judge Martin Wade OF
Des MOines, Ia, declared here tonight
before large audience attending a
patriotic meeting held under the
auspices Of the Cass county Liberty
loan committee.
The man who way down in his
heart hopes that the Kaiser will win
the war, Judge Wade asserted has no
place on American soil. These men
working for the Kaiser, in this cOun-
try are devoting their efforts to kill
the spirit of the people in this country
as it is the spirit that is the most I'M
portant of all if the war is to be won.

tiers" Judge Wade declared, land will
never compromise for they are right
and if we are right in the war no pow
err on earth can compel us to trade
this right for wrong"
"Win the War;"
ANY man which tries to take one
foot off of the American soil'' he con-
tinued " will do so only over the dead
bodies of every American man, wom-
an and child. There is only one thing
in the charts OF the American people
at this time and that is to win the
war"
Judge Wade asserted that while he
was a firm believer in reform move
ments this was not the time for ad-
vocating reforms on economic ques.
tons as this could be taken care OF
after the war was over.

ing up guns, ammunition and supplies
to the front. The battle field over
which the allies have retreated was
left in a devastated condition, the
roads and bridges being mined by
the retreating forces. The lull IN the
battle for the last few days, probably
was caused by the inability Of the
Tautons to move their heavy supply
trains over these roads, together with
the necessity of reorganizing the shat
tered divisions which bore the brunt
of the fighting after they had passed
the first field Of fire. -
British Still on Defensive.
The British, since retaking Ayettf.
south of Arras, have not resumed
their offensive operations, so far as
reported by London, but the German
official statement says that four az
tacks by the entente forces against
the heights southwest of MOreuil were
repulsed with heavy losses. There
are no reports of fighting except out
post encounters along the French

There have been heavy artillery

is nothing to foreshadow German at

French Raids Successful
On the French front before Rheims

been carried out by the French, which
have been successful. The French

wh;ch base witnessed savage fighting
and where the Germans have been
foiled in their efforts to advance to-
ward the Paris-Amiens railroad.

Italian front and it is not likely that
an attacks has been launched there
by the Austrians, who have gathered
an enormous army for possible drive
