We went to the station with him, and he asked me to meet him after my mother left me that he wasn't going back to Norfolk. This I refused to do, and he left us at the Union Sta tion.

TA1ANS "6tun by the smashing defeat of their plans In France, the Teutons ar believed about to-strike back In Italy. Among those foreseeing the possi bility of such a retrlevement attempt Is Mai. Gen. Emlllo Gugllelmotti, before tip Austrian Plava drive he predicted it.' The general holds It entirely possi ble that Ludendorff will rush German reserves to Italy as soon as he realizes the Impossibility of victory on the west line. When he comes to that point. Gugllelmotti believes. Luden dorff wtl lose no-time trying to smash the Italian defenses. T. Cver Flac. The general believes the boche will try this means qf stopping Italians from going to the wf it front, and will also .try-thus to cover up at home the fiasco of the Hhelras smash. General Gugllelmotti asserts that the blow 4s most likely to come In the mountain front because the Aus trian forces In this section were the least affected by the rout along the Plave and because occupation of the Trentlno regions, offers the tactical advantages for future operations. Simultaneous offensive In the Trentlno, on the Aslago Plateau and also against the Montejlo heights are declared to be a-possibility. W.uld be Hard Pressed. The Italians frankly admit that Simultaneous offensives in the face of the full Austrian strength. -re-enforced with and probably leu by picked. German divisions. How ever.. It is declared. the Italian morale Is strong, and Italy Is fully confident that General Foctt can meet any sit uation and that Oeneral Diaz's men will stand valjantly. London reports of a possible Aus trian 'offensive In Albania are be lieved to be unfounded. Rumors of a coming Austrian naval sally In the Adriatic are current. Italian naval authorities are inclined to believe that such a sally would be forced with the fall of Durazzo, threatened by the advances of the Italian and the allied troops north of Berat. AND DR.
