AUSTRO-HUNGARl ATTACK RE. SUITED IN FORMATION OF A
 CURvING FRONT.
TYR0L GAINS BIG MOMENTUM
Success Was Especially Notable in FoIearia Plateau, Which Had Been Pivot in Defensive System
 About Trent.

Berlin.-"The fighting in the South ern Tyrol has evolved into mobile campaign. says a correspondent at the front with the Austro-H Hungarian forces.
 The successes won during the first few days of the Austro-Hungarian offensive are of incomparably more significance than all those obtained by the Italians during the entire previous year. The Italians at no time succeed ed in turning the warfare to another form than frontal attacks, in which success are without effect upon neigh. boring sectors. The stro-Hungarian attack, however. resulted in the for nation of a curving front, an advance along which provided an increasing number of sectors which could be me- naced by outflanking movements and taken under cross-fre. For this req son the Austrians were enabled to make the relatively large gains they have scored.
 "In the course of few days the Austro-Hungarians regained large part of the terrain, which they had given up voluntarily at the beginning of the war. and, in addition, crossed the enemy's frontier at several points. The success was especially notable in the Folgaria Plateau, which had been a pivot in the defensive system about Trent, but has now become base for attack. From the Folgaria Plateau the crown princess troops began an irresistible advance toward the south. after the left wing in the Sugana Val ley had insured it's safety by the storming of Armentara Ridge and af- ter the right wing had likewise se- cured itself in the Adige Valley by the storming of Lugna Torta."
