Meanwhile operations in this sector
of Europe's gigantic battlefield are Of
local Importance only. The recapture

Austrian prisoners are matters of

cording to them the enemy count upon
the withdrawal of French and British
troops and guns from the Italian front
in consequence of a terrifcally strong
German offensive in Flanders and
against Verdun. This would leave the
Italians too weak in men and heavy
artillery to resist the overwhelming
onslaught Of the Germans and Magyars
Thus-always according to the talk of
prlSoners-the Germans and AustrianS

they would penetrate into Lombardy

| ROME. February 25.-The relative
mean that the central powers have re-
nounced their plans Of forcing Italy to a
separate peace by depriving her of her
wealthiest provinces and cutting off aid
| from France. The rigors of winter
have imposed this lull, which is tempo
rary. While oranges ripen in Roman
gardens, snow still lies thick in the
Trentino and on the upper Piave. Since
the invaders cannot possibly renew

a thaw. they have postponed big con-

But to the rear. east of Tdine. toward
innsbruck, the great clearing house for
Austro-German legions destined for the

large numbers of fresh men are being
massed on the plains by means of the
three railroads of Val Sugana, Porde-
none and Portogruaro. which were held
by the Italians until last October. These
men can be pushed up to the fighting
line in few hours when King Frost
retires. Even now they are sufficiently
numerous, at least. to maintain enemy
pressure on this front. Taking into con-

and with redoubled vigor.

Counter Propaganda.

The Italian aeroplanes do counter
propaganda IN recently invaded dis
tricts. Counter propaganda has also
been started among the Italian troops
since Caporette. 1t is a strange fact
that men at the helm in Italy did not
encourage pro-war propaganda before.
However, after caporette, when the
third army and the fourth army Were
fighting their hardest to hold the Piave
line, groups of mutilated officers and
men finally gained long-requested
permission to proceed to the trenches
and both by words and example incits
the men to hold out. telling them why
they should go on with the war. what
the war is about. and what would hap
pen to their families if the invaders
broke through into the interior of the
country.
The problem that most concerns tho
allies today is: Are there guns enough
and men enough on the Italian front
to withstand that overwhelming Ger
man offensive which some German and
Austrian prisoners declare Germany is
planning and Austria seconding""

May Be German Dream.

This is the extreme program. 1t may
be a German dream that will never come
true; nevertheless it should make the
allies realize that the Italian front must
be considered, not an isolated unit,
but part and parcel OF the French
front; that defeat in the Trentine and on
the Piave means defeat i'll Flanders and
the Nosges: that the contribution of
Italian troops to the common cause would
be reduced to "a minimum. almost to
nothing, were Italy's present free and
rapid communication with her allies by
means of France cut off. This catas-
trophic supposition should not be consider
ed altogether impossible.
The enemy's minimum program is
credited with being content to push the
forces now fighting on the Piave back to
the line of the Pc, which is protected by

MADE IMMORTAL BY GOETHE
Leipzig Tavern in Which Poet Located
Scene In "Faust," Was Well
known Gathering Place.

A%uerbach's cellar was n tavern at
Leipzig which disappeared in 1912, 1t
owed Its chief fame to Goethe, who in
this place located the scene in "Faust'
wherein Mephistopheles, standing up
on q wine cask, takes his flight into
space with Doctor Faust, to the stupe-
faction of the guests drinking at the
tables. The old building to which the
cellar belonged was built by Doctor
Stromer d'Auerbach at about 1926, the
worthy doctor there storing the wine
intended for his own use. Later, as
the wine was good, he conceived the
idea of selling it. In this way was es-
tablished the tavern to which his
name has been attached ever since.
From the earliest years of the seven
teenth century legend has placed in
this cellar the famous adventure of
Faust and Mephistopheles. Goethe,
studying at Leipzig university from
1865 to 176S, fr%equented that cellar al
most nightly and there talked With
his friends of art, literature and pol
itics, and thus he heard of that le-
gend which he turned to such excellent
account, at the same time SO very
greatly enriching the literature of his
country.
