AUSTRIAN FAILURE
BREAK GERMANY
Washington Thinks Breakdown
Of Austrian Drive Will Be
Felt on the Western Front.
Military Critics Speculate on
Moves Germany Will Make
To Bolster Up Its Allies

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Ger-
manys entire offensive program may
have been upset, in the opinion of
some officers here, by the crushing
defeat of the Austrians along the
Piave river.
Official reports reaching Washing
ton bear out the picture of the Aus
trian disaster given in press accounts
from Italy, although the full extent
OF the Italian success IS not yet ap.
parent. 1t is regarded as certain,
however, that the central powers
have been dealt blow that will fur.
ther shake the morale of their people
and probably will compel the German
nigh command 10 make a complete re-
adjustment of its plans in France.
Baker Cables Italy
Secretary Baker showed the sig.
niticance attached here to the defeat
OF the Austrians when he despatched
a telegram today to the American
ambassador at Rome for transmission
to the Italian minister of war.
Mr.. Bakers message was sent be.
fore the secretary had received ad.
ditional reports from the Italian front
showing the increasing scope OF the
Austrian disaster. 1t was prompted
by the fact that the enemy was in
| retreat across the Piave and before
the news came that the Italians had
smashed up the retreating foe, max.
ing the retirement a disorganized
rout. There is no doubt here now that
the victory will prove to be one of the
most decisive in character of the
whole war.
Will Improve situation
Army officers agreed with the view
expressed by Mr.. Baker that the de-
feat could not help but influence
greatly the course OF events in France
It is regarded as vital from the Ger
man point of view that the Italian
front be made secure before German
designs in France can be prosecuted
to their fullest development. While
there Is nc imminent danger that the
Austro.Hungarian government may
collapse Germany may not devote her.
self wholly to the task she has under
taken OF forcing victory in the west
before American man power can
swing the scales finally against her.
Speculate on Moves
For this reason, both at the war
department and in diplomatic circles,
there was much speculation as to the
moves to support Austria already
taken by the German high command.
There is little doubt that reports Of
large German troop movements to
| Italy are well founded, as IL is be.
| licvCd the situation must be restored
there at all costs unless the whole
great offensive in France Is to fall of
its own weight
German Problem Heavy
Tho German problem in rushing
troops TO Italy Is a difficult one. Not
only will tho withdrawal OF men from
France weaken tho whole offensive
effort there at a time when American
aid, tho arrival OF Italian divisions
and other measures are beginning TO
place at General FoChs disposal

force to offset the Italian victory
