When Italy decided a month ago to
tier by force of arms instead of accept
ing the Austrian proposals her first step
showed that she had utilized the nine
months of waiting to put her army on a
full war footing and in such positions
near the frontier that a quick offensive
could be taken a. soon as hostilities
were declared.
The first official report OF the General
Stan. issued on May 26. said
Our troops. taking the offensive every
where. occupied the following points !:
F'orcells iii Montozzo, Tonale, Ponte
caffaro. in Val @iudicaria ground TO
the north ot Ferrara di Monte Baldo,
Monte Corno. Monte %ruppiano, on the
northern slope OF the Lessini Mouvi-
tains Pasublo. Monte Baffelan, at the
head Of the Agno and Leogra valleys.
and other passes of the Brenta Valley"
The same report told OF the first adj
vances over the Carinthia frontier and
the movement for the occupation of the
lsonzo valley o the eastern frontier.
The Importance OF these initial opera
lions IL apparent when 1t IL stated that
they represented the occupation of every
pass through the mountains which form
a natural defence against invasion Oh "a

Pass. where Austria. Italy and Switz-r-
land meet, to the head OF the Gulf Of

Having finished the punishment" as
he termed 1t, Mr.. Bryan then went on to
describe what var means. lie said the
worst thing about the present situation
- not the lives that might be lost in
n war between this country and one OF
the belligerents, not the money that
would be squandered, but the "surren-
dering OF the greatest opportunity that
ever came to any country in tho his
tory of the world
After "A further discussion about the
horrors OF war he said, and yet these
subsidized newspapers would drag us

there was confusion. hut the turbulent

Mr., Bryan ARGUED that this country
could afford to consider the actual CON

the belligerents desires war with the
United States. ITS an unattended
harm they may have done us. Coz for

Mr.. Bryan then referred to his arbl-

OF the Austrians. but Is evidently pre-
pairing for a counter attack when thu
garrisons OF Tyrol are reinforced py
troops from Galicia.
In Tyrol and Trentino the Italians
are accomplishing on a vastly larger
scale what the French are doing in the
district bordering on the Saint-Mihiel
salient. They are eXerting pressure at
the point OF the salient and at the same
time driving inward from both sides. in

district N fall back into Trent and
Bozen.
Two Doors Opened.
Through the tremendous natural barrier
Of the Carnic Alps. forming the north
eastern frontier OF Italy. the Italians
have opened two doors into Austria, one
at Monte Croce (called Kreuzberg by
the Austrlans). and one at Pontebba, up
the Fella Valley. The capture of Monte
Croce. accomplished after severe noun
tain fighting. with heavy losses to both
sides, is part OF the Tyrol-Trentino cam
paign. having for its objective the rail-
road running almost parallel TO the Ca
mic frontier, from which IL Is distant only
i've to eight miles. This railroad runs
into the single road running down
through Tyrol and Trentlno.
The operations around Pontera must
be considered In connection with the
great Italian offensive on the Isonzo.
Al the extreme north OF the Isonzo
front is the town of Malborghetto. on
the road to Villach and Vienna. From
Malborghetto down to the Gulf Of
Trieste. a distance of about fifty miles,
the Italian and Austrian armies are In

been fought.
Starting from Cdine on May "a the
Italians crossed the frontier in three
places, reaching Caportetto. Cormons
