ITALIANS Can HOLD
If Germany Sends Troops Another Re-
tirement May Follow.

Washington, June 1.-THE impor-
tance of the events of the Italian
front will be judged in Washington
by whether or not German forces are
sent there. Allied and American OH
GERS eagerly scanned the meager re-
ports of the fighting that reached
here yesterday. All declare that the
Italians can hold their own and more
against the Austrians alone. But if
large German units are sent to the
Austrian front, fear is felt, even in
Italian. quarters, that another retire
ment may be necessary.
1t is generally predicted that the
Germans will not be able to divert
forces to Austria. The frightful tot
they have paid on the west front,
while not exhausting their reserves
in France, is known to have pulled
them down to the point where few
men can be spared if Germany is 20
persist in her effort to win decision
on the west before the Americans de-
velop in full force.
Austria is considered here to be
driven to take the offensive by the
precarious conditions of her internal
affairs. 1t is regarded as an effort
to divert popular attention from the
cabinet crisis and the refusal Of Won
Seydler to call the parliament. The
move is considered a desperate one,
however.
IF Austria intends to carry on a
real campaign it will require ell o:
her troops. Among them will be
many of the Czerho-Slovak regiments
who may go over to the Italians G
masse at the first opportunity. It
will also require the withdrawal of
garrisons from the disaffected areas
of Bohemia and Slavonia. Represen-
tatives of the Czechs and Jugo-Slav,
here declare that their people will
rise in revolution the moment the o'
portunity promises hope of success
The Italian situation on the other
hand is pronounced better than at any
! time since Italy entered the war, with
the single exception Of the food sup
ply-and there the Italians are SUI
perior to their enemies, the Austrians
Italy has more men under arms
than at any other time in the war
and is using them on shorter battle.
front than ever before. The morale
of the troops is reported by all OBJ
servers who have returned here to be
above question. 1t is understood that
supplies of munitions have been ac
cumulated in satisfying quantitie:
since active fighting ended last fall.
