staff to prevent the Italians crossing
| the lSonZo river between Tolmino
and Corr. The capture Of PLAYA by
| Italian troops, however, upset the
| Austrian plans for maintaining an in
surmountable barrier in that part Of
the front through the cooperation Of
the towns of TolminO and Gradisca.
The arsenal at the Austro-Hunga-
