ENGINEERING TRIUMPHS. [vom “ Tie TIMES ” aSELITARY Fa CORRESPONDENT." Itartan Army Heanquarrens, June, 1916, - JPhose whe wish to. know whit ltaly has done and is doing in the war can best be answered by “a statement of “the effort made by Austria to hold Italy in check. . The Austrian Armies of Kévess and of Dankl are fighting with the main Ltatian Army on the borders of the Tren, Facing Cadore is the famous Hth Corps of Tirol and Vorarlberg Mou taineers. Along the north-eastern slopes of the: Carnie Alps stands the 10th Aus- ‘trian Army of von Rohr. . From Tolmino on. the Lsonzo to the sea extends the Sth} Army of General Boroevic, and there are other detacliments and is with special missions. In_all>there are cer- tainly 600,000 Austrian combatants. in dine, ant an aggregate strengih of i million men. ~The total number of enemy battalions identified, including volunteers and riffe club men, approximated to 500 at the opening of the Austrian offensive, and hitherté-the Austrian strengths have been. well maintnined by thé march bat- talions, which -have reflected credit, on the Austrian organization, Add to this a formidable array of Austrian and Ger- man guns of ull. calibres, besides great quantities of machine-guns, and we must surely admit that Italy, by holding up such an important part of the, Austrian Ariny, including some. of its best elements, by beating it often, and by conquering ‘some 770 square miles “of Austrian ter tory, has done well for the cause, and far better than anyone who knew Italy before the war-could reasonably have antici pat- ed. Ttaly also condemns to uselessiness the Austrian Navy.” : - . The Allied conse owes much-to General Cadorna, who is a man of clear vision and strong character, and ‘can be counted upon to pursue the objects of the war with resolution until they are attained. To General Count Porro della Bicocea:¢ ‘Santa Maria must be ascribed the honour for. the” excellent: staff arrangements, while to the commanders af Armics ‘and Army ‘ps, and to the, Intendaut- General, the gratitude of Italy is rightly due. GENERAL CADORNA'S STRATEGY. —The Asonzo-frontis-not for-the-moment. the principal point of interest, lut-it has been in the past, and may tend to become so again, because most people thik that it is only here that large modern armies can find elhow. room for ihe use of all their means. It is in this direction also that the best. strategie resulis -can bo hieved; and General Cadorno has -had e- merit of laying dowu correct prin: eile: of strategy from the first. and of adhering to them tenaciously, 7 On the Isonzo-.front, which may be ‘taken to extend from Plezzo” on the Upper Isonzo. to the. sea, there are parts of the Austrian Army under von -Rohr besides the 7th and_isth Army Corps, and the Nabresina Division - all - tinder Boroevic. This force varies between 70 and 100-bittalions, but it is of uneven ‘composition, and there are many units only fit for the defensive. It is-well en- trenched- in many, lines of works, and is supported by a strong body ‘of Austro- German artillery posted in ‘concealed positions in rear. The Is itself is ‘nat now everywhere the dividing Jine hetween the hostile Armies. The Austrians hold the right bank at + bend of the river south of Tolming.and another con-. siderable section of the right bank .ep- posite Gorizia, But the Italians hold the Jeft bank from ~Plezzo through Monte Nero nearly to Tolmino, the bend at Plava, and all the.southerm section from the crest of the Carso opposite Gradisca through Monfalcone-to the sea. ‘ . The Austrian position’ is.a strong‘one, ‘and even the Austrian holdings on the sight) bank are: not. easy to take on account of the flanking fire ‘of artillery and machine-guns posted on the left bank. At the same time this Austrian front presents points of weakness, and, considering the progress already mae by the Tialians and the scope afforded by the ground to the action: of important ‘masses, I imagine that General Cadorna needs. nothing but a superior force of ‘guns to expect to break through. The guns will &nd a favourable theatre for their activities, and as ‘soon-as circum- stinces allow the Italian Commander to levote his whole attention to this froa. « more I think that it is only a ques- ion of paying the -price-for him to ‘succeed, 1 dao not suppose that it -is desireble. that I should give my reasons for this opinion, so I must he content to register it for what it is worth, and leave aside questiofis of tac on which an Ttalian success on the Isenzo depends. . be CAERNIA AND CADORE, The Carnia front extends from Plezzo j Monte Peralba and. is altogether. different in. character.’ The Italian front Hine runs along the crest of the Carnic Alps, which is entirely in Italian hands, and.as there are no carriageable roads across the mountains, except at -Monte. Croce Carnico. and at the eastern. ex- tremity we: are in a theatre . of Alpine warfare pure andsimple. The Austrian Commander’ in . this ~ secter, ‘General von Rohr, appears to be -apply- ing the principles laid down ‘in the little hook on mountain . warfare published many. years ago- by General von- Kiihn, the defender:of Tirol 866, and i gercral the enemy’s dispositions are of a defensive. character, the troops being echelonned in depth, with first line, sup- ports, and reserves. De theaae “The eastern extremity of the liné may ‘peome of importance’ when the opera- tions on the Tsonzo “are. vigorously re- newed,- but at present the Austrian: ‘interest appears to be concentrated upon the Pass of Monte Croce Carnico, which- the Italians hold. I” have personally little doubt, after inspecting. this front, that all here well. : oa te The command in Cadore extends from Monte Peralba all along the frontier to- 3 point north of .the Val Lugana. At many places, and notably in the Cortina d'Ampezzo district, the Italians have crossed the frontier, while at other points the Austrians hold the. crest, and: on. the whole of this front the enemy is credited ‘with having 34.090 men all told.
