Italians Await
New Offensive
BY Austria1,s
Foe Counts on Drive i'm
West to Discourage
Italy
[SAf Correspondence

WASHINGTON. March 27.-The
Italians are kecnly cxpectant of an
enemy offensive. The Austro- Germans
apparently arc counting upon the eff
fects OF the German drive against the
British front to discourage the
Italians, according to a diplomatic
cable from Rome to-day. 1t says:
"The situation at the Italian front is
becoming every dag more tense. 1t
appears that the Austro Hungarian
forces are counting upon the success
of the German drive in France to dis
courage the Italians before attempting
a new offensive.
"New divisions are daily being
brought to the Italian front from the
Rumanian front. Artillery duels are
growing in intensity ali along the
Lagarina, Giudicaria and AsticO.
THE Austrians have numerous new
pieces OF heavy artillery. Great move
ments Of Austro-Hungar!an troops are
reported by Italian avlators in Val Su-
gana. Everything points toward a new
effort on the part OF the enemy forces
to break through the mountainous
zone OF the Italian front toward the
plain"
The announcement of the Germans
that the Danish, DuCch and Swiss from
tiers would be closed to all traffic and
communication for an indefinite period
was connected here with this dispatch,
because such action on the part Of the
enemy often precedes new offensive.
Another dispatch says:

Nine Prisoners From
Ieuton Raider Arrive
U. S. Warship Brings Captives
to Pacific Port; Two
Are Women

A PACIFIC PORT. March 27.-Nine
prisoners of war, two of them women,
arrived here to-day aboard United
States warship, which had in tow the
auxiliary schooner Alexander Agassiz
outfitted by the Germans as a raider.
The Agassiz was captured week ago
off the coast of Mexico.
Government officials said they had
information that seven Germans, who
embarked on the Agassiz at Mazatlan,
Mexico, had orders from the German
consul there to seize any ship they
could and then to proceed to the South
Seas to raid commerce of the Allies
Representatives Of the government
also said they had information indicat-
ing similar raiding parties We're being
organized in west coast Mexican ports,
each designed to put to sea in a small
craft with the hope of seizing a larger
vessel to be used as privateer.
One of the women prisoners is Miss
Maude Lochren, who, according to gov
ernment agents, says she is the owner
of the Agassiz. Authorities believe she
had the vessel in Mexican waters for
legitimate purposes and that the Ger
mans imposed upon her confidence while
taking advantage of her financial neces-
sites.
The other prisoners are Cornelius
Geintz and his wife, Frank Volpert,
