This plateau was practically the only
point on the mountainous frontier in
hts section which presented II possible
road for an Italian inVadlnc army to
cross into the Trentino. To guard
against this he Austriaus have built
there seven new forts. which have been
completed only since the great war
started. Ia addition. three new forts
were ~ ojected. and have by his time,

depression ave have been added to the

and one more has been constructed for
the protection of the Stelvio Pass, while
several new forts strengthen still fur
tnor the positions at Riva and Trent.
In q word Austria planned and has
completed the Transformation Of the dis
t'ict coveted by Italy INTO a formidable
military bulwark. designed not only as a
barrier against an invader, but as a
basis for offensive action. The aim OF
the Austrian strategists has been not
