ROME CONFIDENT
ALLIES CAN END
WAR THIS YEAR
Germans Thoroughly Awake
to Critical Conditions in
Starving Austria

Washington. June 24.-Confidence
at Rome that the war may be
brought to a victorious close this
year, If the allies give the Italians a
full measure of support in the often
sive which has been launched
against the Austrians is reflected in
official wireless dispatches received
to-day from the Italian capital.
The Germans are said to be thor
ouShly awake to the probability of
complete collapse of the Austro-
Hungarian government, already
struggling with half-starved and
riotous people in the event of COM
plete Austrian rout at the hands of
the Italians. Realization of this fact,
Rome believes, has caused the Ger
man general staff virtually to sus-
pend If not to abandon its great of
fensive in France, as has been evil
denced by the comparatively quiet
for the past week.
Rushing Help From France
German soldiers are being rushed
by rail to the northern end of the
Austrian Hungarian battle lines for
the purpose of restoring the Austrian
morale and not only checking the
Italian counterattacks by force of
mum bers. breaking through the
mountain passes into the plains OF
Nenetia.
With such help as the entente
armies can give Immediately. supple
mented as rapidly MS transportation
can be had by troops directly from
America and. even more important,
by ample military supplies ana food
for the army, the Italian general
staff is reported to be convinced that
the victorious sweep of the Italian
4, s..
sizza plateau-the scene of the great
battles of last fall-and will not stop
until the Italians have reclaimed all
of the country up to the right bank
of the Isonzo. which marked the ex-
treme of General Cadorna's advance.
Hope is expressed here that a sub
stantial part of the Austrian army
will be destroyed and that the force
which escapes will he so greatly de-
moraliZed as o be useless for often
sive purposes for months to come.
Officers here feel that the Italians
should content themselves with in
flicting all possible damage upon the
letreating enemy and should not now
seek to extend their lines to the
other side of the Piave.
They think the situation would be
satisfactory if the Piave line is
al my Al llle SdIIlt
time there are many military offic-
ials both American and Italian,
who have always contended that the
road to victory lay through Italy.
These officials have been hopeful
for the launching of counter Of
fensive by General Foch in Italy for
that reason.
There is speculation here as to
how General Foch may deal with
this situation. Unitey of command is
counted upon to prevent another
such catastrophe as that which fol-
lowed the first great Austrian often
sive, and. as the Germans move
southwark to aid their tottering al
lies allied soldiers may be on their
fay to further strengthen the re-
iuVenated Italians.

Augmenting
Ones Income

In addition to the improved war
aspect, there are sound economic
reasons at home why stocks
should be purchased. TO begin
with, we are in days of great in
flation in our monetary system
whereas the supplies of stocks
have not been increasing. We
further have between twenty to
twenty five millions of people i'm
this country who have been intro
duced to Wall Street through the
finest kind of investment-The
Liberty Bonds.
The first three Liberty Bonds
have already totaled in excess of
$12,O00,00 900, and as these Lib
erty Bonds are practically the
same rs money in market commit
ments, ii is reasonable to presume
that present market prices for
seasonable securities are about as
low as they can be expected to go.
1t would seem advisable, then.
that non dividend paying active
securities should be put to work
to pay their way. The service of

gestions along these lines will be
