AMERICA MAY
PUNISH SPAIN
ALFONS0'S GOVERNMENT MED
DIED WITH SHIPMENT FOR
u. 5. ARMY IN FRANCE.

Washington, Feb 2-Spain's inter
ference with the shipment of supplies
consigned from her frontier to the
American army in France and the allies
may meet with swift retaliation on the
part of the United States and the en-
tente nations, according to indications
here.
Although the war trade board denied
last night that sailing Of all Spanish
ships in American ports had been held
up, it is known that certain vessels fly
ing the Spanish flag and ready to de-
part had been refused clearance pend
ing an adjustment of the situation
The United States is particularly
concerned in the matter because cd
large orders placed in Spain by Gca-
eral Pershing Since Spain relies to
a great extent on the United States
for food, this government is in posi-
tion to force a lifting of any embargo
placed by Spain.
Spain's official reason for stopping
the shipment of supplies across its iron.
tiers into France is that the Spanish
railroad system has broken down, but
charges of German influence said to
be strong with a considerable element
OF the Spanish government, have been
made.
1t has been charged also that goods
from Spanish Morocco have been reach
ing Germany by way Of Switzerland
and the Swiss port of entry in France.

lively small the aggregate being con
siderably less than the number of prls-
ouers taken from the enemy But en-
emy losses were extremely heavy, as is
shown by the number of dead left on
the field and the reports of prisoners
1t is estimated that total enemy loss.
without counting prisoners taken by
the Italians, was between 5000 and
5000.
New Forces Are Aggressive.
Through Italy the army corps have
been stimulated by the success in the
Asiago; and the Italian triumph is taken
to show the really formidable and ag-
gressive spirit Of the new forces. A
considerable part of the troops were or
the classes last called to the colors, IN
cluding some l9.year.olds. Many Of the
Sassari brigade, which distinguished It,
self, are Sardinians, and the general
commanding the division before leading
the charge up the slopes of Monte di
Nalbela made a ringing appeal in Sar-
dinian dialect to his men. When the
order came to charge, the islanders
stepped forward, their bayone,s

Ausirians Get Surprise.
The result of the action is having an
effect on the morale of the enemy ac-
cording to reports Of prisoners. The
Austrian winter campaign in the noun
tams has stopped entirely, as It was
concluded that the difficulties Of snow
and ice and the interruption Of roads
and transport supplies had made oper-
ations impossible. These conditions
were exceedingly severe IN tne nghting
area, even drinking water for the
troops being transported up the noun

Having accepted these conditions as
decisive against the winter offensive,
the Austrians were taken completely by
surprise when the Italians carried out
