THE AUSTRIAN DEBACLE.
After making such a great at-
tempt to continue the gains that
she made against Italy last fall
by launehing an offensive two
weeks ago, Austria now. finds
herself in the sorry plight of be-
ing forced to retreat, losing all
she had gained in the initial
blow last week and being com-
pelled to cede a portion of the
territory she had captured in her
campaign of last year. The rea-
son for such a collapse is not im-
mediately discernable to the lay-
man, although it must reveal in
a measure the true inward state
of the Austrian empire. If it
had not been for Germany, who
- had too much to lose by such a
step, Austria would have sued
for peace lung ago, but, bolster-
ed up by German money and ma-
terial, Austria has been able to
‘continue to fight. Now that
Germany is attempting to force
“+4 decision on the western front,
‘Austria perforce had to play a
lone hand in embarking on her
‘latest. drive to force Italy out-of
the war, and has shown her in-
_ ability to conduct a successful
campaign without aid from her
ally. The Italians have always
held the initiative, now they hold
the offensive, and under the
-strategical genius of Generalia-
simo Foch, may transform the
_ Austrian defeat into a disaster.
Instead of forcing Italy out of
the war, itis Austria who will be
the one to ask for peace terms,
either from. her defeat or as the
result of revolution among her
war-weary people, -
