CITY IS SAFE

Arizona republican., 1918-05-06

The decision to launch an offensive of grand proportions in Italy was doubtless forced by political and econ- omic conditions prevailing in Austria. An offensive campaign that yields gains of ground might serve 10 still the clements which are seething throughout the dual empire and would postpone the day of reckoning that seems in store for the rulers of Austria.
 German domination of Austria is be- coming more complete as time goes on. Tyrol and Bohemia have been an- neXed for food arbitration purposes to Germany but this move in the great game of state craft has served only to deepen the Chasm between the racial factions of Austria. Bohemian troops have deserted from the Austrian armies and have joined the Italians, and, if an offensive is not launched, demoral- izatiOn of the Austrian forces may come sooner than the outside world expects.
 In France and Flanders
 In the meantime the situation on Inc front in France and Flanders has remained fairly quiet There have been local attacks by the Germans here and there along the line, but nothing approaching a general battle has been reported. The allies are improving their lines and arc waiting for the Ger mans to make the next move.
 Pope Benedict has served notice on the world that the vatican will not be a party to any peace offensive at the present time. It is believed that Berlin will seek to bring about a Ger man peace" and. if it's advances are repulsed. to nerve the German people to a new bath of blood by pointing out that the entente allies desire to crush Germany. Pope Benedict has let it be known that he is desirous of taking any step which may tend to shorten the war; but he does not see at the present moment any reason to believe that an appeal would bring about tho desired result.
 The situation in the Ukraine and the ruthless methods being followed by the Germans in completing the subjugation of the people have been reflected in an address by Vice Chancellor von Payer before the main committee of the German reichstag. After detail- ing the measures adopted for securing supplies of grain from Ukraine, and the discontent and unrest among the people there. the vice chancellor. in referring to leaders of the Ukrainians, made the significant statement that the Germans took steps to render them harmless
