Washington, June 18.-- With prac- tically all official and unofficial re- ports to-day Indicating that the 'Austrian drive in Maly has been sharply checked by the reorgamized allan army and the British and French units supporting #t, offers here discussed the situation with an increasing air of optimism, In some quarters it is believed that these operations miay have a decided effect on the situation on the West- ern front. There is a strong feeling that if the IHallans will launch a counter-offensive on a large scale. In that event, officials are certain that Germany would rush divisions of its troops tol aid its ally because of the effect an ItaMan success would have upon the already turbulent internal situation in Austria. Some officers are confident that the lack of success for the Austrians now disclosed already has resulted in a shifting of the German forces on the Western front in preparation to rush divisions to the Italian front to prop up weak spots in case of a counter- THE WORLD'S NEWS IN BRIEF FORM Tidings From All Over Told in a Pithy and Pointed Way.

ENCHY HS 7500 72 ON A CERTAIN SECTION OF THE ITALIAN FRONT. Order Is To Advance Régardiess of Losses--Slanghter In Mountain Sectors And on Piave Is Terrific. London, June 18.--A despatch to The Times from the ItaMan front says: "The Austrian offensive failed completely, except in the middle and on the lower Pjave. On the former a determined battle is still going on at Montello Heights. On the latter, at Capo Sile, the enemy has also made a slight advance. It would be prema- ture| to say that the offensive is al- ready completely beaten. Seventy- one divisions have already been iden- tified out of ninety-two, the total in the Austro-Hungarian armies. The enemy has 7,500 guns on a section of the Italian front. The order is, ad- vance regardless of losses, and the (slaughter in the mountain sectors and on the Piave is terrific. A re party accompanies each Austrian battalion for the purpose of seizing food and loot. A German re- quisition battalion is also on the front for the purpose of securing Germany share of the booty. Ger- many has supplied much artillery. Except for a lack of secrecy, the Austrians organized this "supreme effort of theirs better than might have been expected. it was well planned and resolutely delivered, and the oredit due to the Italians is all the greater for repulsing it com- pletely in many places,. containing it on others, and nowhere allowing a break through to be made, BASEBALL RECORDS, MONDAY International League. re .. . .6 Toronto .. .. .2 Jersey City . .. 8 Syracuse .. .".2 Rochester Newark .. .. .1 Binghamton .- 1 (Called in 10th). a Buffalo .. . , .1 werd 2 MONTOIDIER RUBE SCOURT 3 P STMAURSEIARN TT SCALE of MILES , RESSON.

"Rheims," he writes, "is held by a very strong garrison of at least two divisions of French colored colonial troops. These troops find complete protection from German artillery fire in deep cellars miles in extent, constructed by great. champagne firms. Against gas clouds which float over the town these cellars offer complete protection. There~ fore the garrison really is behind an impregnable armored shelter so far as a German storm attack is con- cerned. '""Mcreover, such an attack is scarcely to be thought of in view of the gas clouds which are continually over the city, while, even if it were attempted, the French colonial re- giments would be able -to emerge from their defences with unthinned ranks. The fight, therefore, would be an extremely bloody one." Von Ardenne adds that the fall of Rheims would not be decisive, though it would affect the whole French Champagne front, even per- haps as far as Verdun.

The despatch did not indicate Italy's reply, but it was officially assumed here that it was promptly rejected. No indication is contained in the cable as to thé' means employed in advancing the offer, Orlando's state- ment as cabled saying merely: "The Germans even have offered an honor- able peace," The peace move was launched "recently" probably as a step in anticipation of the Austrian drive. These are the same tactics em- ployed by the Germans before their ast 'assault on Italy---designed to break the morale of thé Italian troops. That the Teutons would pur- sue such a course was forecast some time ago by the Italians, At that time, it was stated that Germany would also extend her proffer through the usual concealed ch nels to other powers fighting agai IT, That the peace offer was spurned by Maly is obvious from the battle front despatches to-day, where the If it had been taken seriously previous advices undoubtedly would have heen re- ceived in this country before the ar- rival of the cables here referring to the Premier's remarks. nm War Tidings, - Men. of 49, ho and 51 have been called up for medieal examination in Britain, All German prisoners of war re- Russia will » ICross work during the war, and for some time was stationed in-fondon.

Military authorities here believe the offéhsive has broken down. It mow appears that the Austrians made three successful attempts to cross the Plave. One was south of Montello, where the battle line leaves the Plave River and mounts to the westward into the Alps. One was between Candelu and Zenson loop where the Austrians affeoted a cross- ing last November and held a bridge head for some time. The other was at Don di Plave, about eleven miles from the mouth of the river. At least some of these forcos have been driven back across the river, while the others have not been able to develop any advantage from their early successes. In France the Germans succeeded by the method of gaining the rear, of strongly-held portions of the line, which had to be evacuated quickly by the allies. Along the Italian front, however, the foe was not able to penetrate far into the allied posi- tions and counter-attacks soon be- came effective in forcing him back to their Hnes, ¥ ; So far German troops are.reported. only in one sector on the mountain front, but it is not improbable that they. will be despatched to.
