London. ? Discussing with Tho
World correspondent today the
general results of the abortive Austrian
offensive a high authority explained:

reserves in the mountains, but their
troops were so discuoraged by the defeat
that thp Austrian high command
|
concluded that no fresh attack could
be made with any prospect of success.
Extricated From Peril.
"Up to today the Italians have captured
sixty guns and about 20,000
prisoners, exclusive of seventy-two |
Italian guns recaptured. Hut on the I
whole, the Austrians have succeeded
in extricating themselves from a posi
tion of great peril, and now in the
delta dividing the Piave they have
been strongly reinforced and are offering
determined resistance.
"Certain Austrian divisions being
entrained at Budapest for the Balkans
June 18 were suddenly diverted
and sent to the Italian front, showing i
that the Italian success completely
upset all the Austrian plans.
"The reasons for the Austrian failure
were several. First, the attempts
to attack on too broad a front, with
the result that they were strong nowhere,
their idea being to. attack
everywhere in the hope of breaking
through somewhere. That plan might
have been justified if the Austrians
were overwhelmingly superior in
numbers, morale and training, but as ;
they had none of these advantages
they were held everywhere with ease
by the Italian reserves.
Poor Gunnery,
"Another cause was the ineffective
shooting of the Austrian artillery,
which never dominated the defense.
"Then there was their inferior
training and low morale, which was
betrayed by their becoming disorganized
and demoralized by the Italian
defense.
"Finally, there was no olcmont of
surprise, the Italians knowing before
hand the place and the time of the
offensive. The Austrains tried the
German system without the German
methods.
"It will be a long time before the
Austrians regain the offensive power,
if they ever should be able to do so
without German help, which means a
corresponding incrcase in the Italian
morale, which never before was so
high as it is now after their great
trium ph.
"The Italians were prevented from
exploiting their victory by the great ;
difficulties of the Piave, so the relative
positions of th0 two armies remain
the same as before the offensive.
We must not look for any startling
changes or any Italian counter
attack because immense difficulties
have to be faced and any advance between
Lake Garda and the Pivae
must be slow and methodical. An advance
on the Italian right would only
lengthen their line and make the left
flank still more vulnerable.
A glance at the map will show that
a slight Austrian advance in the
Tront mwtui- it.rvnl.1 4 4i-- ?i?1 _

Italian line in the plain."
Turning to the west front, The
World's authoritative informant said:
Guessing at Ludcndorff's Plan.
"It is still doubtful where the enemy
offensive will come next. There ,
is reason to believe that an attack
will shortly take place on the northern
British front, but a successful attack
between Amiens and Paris would
offer the enemy the biggest strategic
results. Another alternative not to
he overlooked would be an attack between
Rheims and the Meuse with
the object of cutting the French army
in tv/o. The bulk of the German reserves
are on the front between the
Oise and the sea, and such an attack,
if successful, would offer great results.
An enemy attempt at a surprise
prehaps is more likely in that
ouarter than in any other.
"There is no reason to believe that
his next blow will be his final, supreme
effort in a direction which
probably Ludendcrff has not yet decided
upon."

SAYS ALLIES FACE
SUPREME CRISIS
Vernier Hughes of Australia
Thinks Germany
is Desperate.
London, Thursday. ? William RI.
iughes, premier oi' Australia, speakng
at a luncheon of the London
Chamber of Commerce today, said
hat the Allies were facing the su>reme
crisis of the war. The next I
ow weeks were pregnant with trenendous
possibilities. The German
militarists fully recognized that they
nust either achieve a decisive victory
>r continue a hopelses struggle
igcinst daily increasing odds.
The speech of Dr. von Kuehlmann,
he German foreign secretary, he deilared,
was a clear admission that the
eccnt enemy offensive had been bar en
in its gains and that military
success, if not impossible, was farher
off than ever, and unless victory
vas gained politically Germany must
prepare for a long war.
The change in the German tone, in
he opinion of Premier Hughes, was
lue to a realization of America's
rreat effort. The Germans also
enow that the Anglo-French armies j
vere confidently awaiting the next
mslaught, while the much vaunted
Austrian offensive had spent itself
ind any day might see the Austrian
irmies in headlong rout and the
:ivilian population in open rebellion.

AMERICA PLAYS PART 1
FATAL TO GERMANY,
Atlantic City, N. J.?The vital part
which America is playing in the
world war has at last begun to dawn
upon the people of Germany despite
he efforts of the Gorivum ivr?v??r?_
r>" ' 11
ment to control it declared Lord
Heading, British Ambassador in a
speech tonight before the Maryland
State Bar Association. "I observe
in the rciehstag and throughout Germany,"
he said, <4it is known that a
now, vital dominant force has not
only entered into this war, but is determined
to throw all it possesses in
to the scalc for the ideals upon which
its political system is based.
"Germany may well reel with
amazement at the results. Just now
1.000,000 American men must be in
fiance, acccording to Secretary Baker.
You have not only continued the
supply of munitions and enormously
increased your productions but have
supplied the allies with the food so
necessary not only for the armies
but also for the civilian population.
It is no small wonder that voices are
lifted in Germany against those like
Dr. Holfferich and Admiral von Capello
and others who predicted so
falsely that America would never
play an important part in the war."
