ROME, October 28
War correspondents are unanitinously of the opinion that the Austro-German o^ensive means a fight to a finish, because Germany is determined to seek a political victory over Italy's stubborn desistance to German pacifist activities. Germany, aiming at the disruption of the Entente, has planned an offensive on a tremendous scale. Troops and transports for weeks have been pouring from the Balkans and Russia, which frdnts are now almost stripped. The armies include some of the finest German troops. All are well equipped with artillery and machine-guns.
3#e latest bulletins indicate that the Italians have not yet * stemmed the assaults.
