THE Failure of German
Il Propaganda

AS in the case Of the United States, a
vast German propaganda was operated
in Italy. Biilow, the most astute of Ger
man diplomatists, conducted the diplo-
matte battle; newspapers and politicians
were purchased. Giolitti, the most pow
erful single politician in Italy, was a
champion of that neutralist policy which
sefved the German ends. Yet the cam
paign failed. A great outburst Of ma

I ooking Backward at
IL the Caporetto Disaster

1t was worse last year, when Italy,
after magnificent effort and colossal sac
rifce, had mounted the Bainsizza Pla-
teau, was blasting a passage toward
Laibach. Then Germany came to the
aid of Austria, using the troops freed by
Russian collapse, and exactly year ago
the disaster of Caporetto marked the be-
ginning of a series of German victories
which led them almost within range of
Paris in July of the present year. At
the time Caporetto seemed an inexplic-
able disaster. 1t was due mainly to the
collapse of the home front. The Italian
people were temporarily yielding under
the strain of three years of war, with
victory still postponed. They felt them
selves neglected, abandoned by their
greater allies. Every sort of poison
worked to the disarray of an Italian
army, which at the moment of victory
seemed suddenly to melt away in su-
preme disaster.
Yet, looking backward at Caporetto, it
seems less inexplicable in the light of
later military events The tactics en-
ployed there were successful a few
months later against the British and
brought about the wreck of Coughs Fifth
British Army. They were successful
against the French two months later at
the Chemin des Danes and produced the
most complete French defeat of the whole

the strain of the war the army, like the
nation. has steadily deteriorated. Had
the war been between Austria and Rus
sia, Austria would have fallen in the
autumn of 1914, after the defeats about
Lemberg. Without German aid Austria
would have fallen to Italy last autumn
after the Italian victories on the Balm
sizza Plateau.

And the defeats of the present war
are merely a new edition of Austrian
military history. Napoleon began his
career by his triumphs over Austria in
Italy. Ulm, Austerlitz and Wagram in
the days of the Empire were victories
over Austrians. Napoleon III defeated
the Austrians at Solferino and Magenta.
