AUSTRIAN BLOW At
ITALY IS INDICATED
BIG TROOP MOVEMENTS IN TYR
Oh AND TRENTINO is
REPORTED.
EMPEROR CHARLES AT FRONT
Decision To Launch An Offensive in
Italy Was Doubtless Forced BY Po-
litical and Economic Conditions
Prevailing in Austria.

New York.-Over the battle lines
along the Piave river and in the
mountainous region in northern Italy,
where the allied forces have been
holding their positions since last No
vember, after the great Italian re-
treat from the IsonZo, there is in
creased tension and the long threat
ened blow at this front may be launch
ed by the Teutonic allies within few
days. For many weeks the Italian
War Office has been aware that Aus
trians have been assembling the le-
gions withdrawn from the Russian
and Rumanian fronts for a drive at
the Italian armies, and it is believed
that it will not be long before the CEN
trail powers will make another attempt
to reach the plains Of Ventia, break
through the allies lines and seek TO
bring about decisive combat in that
theater of the war.
Emperor Charles of Austria, accom-
panied by his chief of staff and high
German and Austrian army officers,
is reported on his way to the Italian
front, and the great movement Of
troops in Tyrol and TFentino would
seem to indicate that vast bodies of
men are being taken from other
fronts to be hurled at the Italian posi-
tons.
The blow, it is generally believed,
will fall somewhere in the mountain
Gus sections of the front, probably in
the La Garino and Astico valleys
These sectors face the north, and if
broken would permit the foe to pene-
trate into the lower foothills of the
mountains, or even reach the plains.
If this should occur the armies along
the Piave river would be compelled to
fall back, probably as far as the
Adige river. This would entail the loss
of Venice and vast expanse of coun-
try to the enemy.
The decision to launch an offensive
of grand proportions in Italy was
doubtless forced by political and eco
nomic conditions prevailing in Aus
tcia. An offensive campaign that
yields gains of ground might serve TO
still the elements which are seething
throughout the dual empire and would
postpone the day of reckoning that
seems in store for the rulers of Aus
tria.
