Fortifying Their Lines.

While the German-Austro-H Hungarian
troops have thoroughly utilized the
long spell of inaction in Russia to
fortify their lines to an unheard- of
degree. the Austro- Hungarian troops
have done likewise on the Italian front
in the face of an almost continual on
slaught by the Italian forces. When
the war with Italy broke out. the pres
ent Aus,ro- Hungarian front. contrary
to what has been said. was not pre-
pared for the position war" which has
since then obtained there. The result
of this was that owing to the rock
surface of the terrain which had to be
chosen, and because of the Italian ar
tiilery superiority, the Austro Hun
garian troops had i hard time of ii.

Say Absence of Capable Commission

Correspondence of the Associated Press
VIENNA, February Ito what ex-
tent does technical superiority discount
inferiority in numbers" To this ques-
ton a large number of AuStro-Hun-
garian and German officers with long
experience at the various fronts have
replied that technical superiority, de-
pending upon terrain conditions. ma
ture of the work to be done and quail
ity of the troops involved, is today in
all cases the element which decides the
outcome of a military action.
Bravery in officers and men is as es-
sential as formerly, of cc-irse. it was
said, but it has value only if coupled
with a high degree of intelligence. A
brave heart governed by stupid head
ceased soon to beat nowadays, the men
asserted unanimously.
The day of brute physical courage
was over. Only troops in whom intelli-
gence. moral courage and fair
amount of pluck were inherent and had
been welded by thorough training and
discipline could be called first-clasS to-
day, because only such troops We're
able to get maximum results from the
technical methods now used in war
fare.
Technical superiority starts with the
character and ability of 4 general staff
and ends with the quality of barbed
wire; in other words. its elements and
phases are as varied and manifold as
a re the means with which modern war
is being conducted.
