Austria's Desperate Play.

Austria's Desperate Play.
The kaiser has given the signal and
his imperial pappet in Vienna has re-
sponded with alacrity. Emperor
Charles of Austria has lifted the flood
gates Of warfare over the entire Ital-
ian front. Everywhere from the Adige
to the lower Piave the legions of Aus
tria are assailing Italian, British and
French lines. The impetus of
their first assaults won them some po-
sitions, but in the main they have
~Ssled in their efforts to penetrate al
lied lines. Where they succeeded in
crossing the Piave in the regions of
Nervesa, Fagare and Musile- they have
been hurled back.
For the moment at least the allies
have won tremendous victory. II
sixty divisions Of Austrians are un-
able to progress farther than they have
in the first days of battle, when ini-
tiative favors an attacking army, then
they are doomed to complete failure.
Statements that the allied armies were
prepared for any exigency are borne
out. The Italians, with their character
istic elan, and reborn in spirit, are
fighting as they never have fought be-
fore.~ The French and British units
Gil the Italian front, courageous to
the last word and experienced in all
the wiles of Teutonic warfare, form
a support for Italian endeavor which
insures success, no matter what the
odds.
The battle now raging in Italy is
young. Anything may happen. But
the confidence which prevails in Rome,
Paris and London that the Austrians
are doomed is not based on idle opti-
mism, but upon concrete military
facts.
Though the battle may be extremely
important to the central powers from
a military standpoint, it is infinitely
more important as deciding the future
of the present Austrian government
and continued unity Of the various
racial elements of the nation. I'm
questionably Emperor Charles, while
endeavoring to crush the allied armies
in, Italy, also is seeking by such VIC
tory again to lull his peoples into a
degree of complacency and remove the
many menacing internal issues, which,
born of wars hardships, at the present
moment threaten disintegration of the
dual monarchy.
When peace with the Russians was
signed the Austrian people were prom
ised general peace in the immediate
future. Apparently they were more
content to continue the war, believing
Teutonic aspirations after all were to
be achieved. When Rumania was
forced out of the struggle tho govern
ment again utilized this in its ma
tional propaganda Of hopefulness. 1t
then exploited economic successes in
Russia and the gains of German armies
on the western front to keep the peo-
pie together. But this did not have
the desired results.
During the past three months under
hunger's goad and the extremely ar
bitrary dictation of Berlin, antipathies
Of the people toward the government
have increased. The internal unrest
is greater than at any period during
the war. With victory on the Italian
front the Austrian government might
again instill into the hearts and minds
Of the people the desire to hold on
Without victory and with Austria suf.
fering definite and striking defeat
such as appears imminent, the ele,
ments antagonistic to the government
are certain to make headway.

held in Portland, Ore, August 10
to "a. 1t will be the first encamp-
ment ever held in the Pacific North

the old soldiers of 1876 will ever
come to the Pacific Coast. Portland
expects thousands of people from
Washington, Idaho and Oregon to be

sires and grandsires of the boys of
today who are fighting in France for
the same eternal principles.

PATRIOTIC PICTURE PLEASES

The picture showed up in it's full

German war lords for world conquest
and the terrible atrocities of the Ger
