yesterday"
Heavy Smelling" at number Of
localities was reported.
East Of Epheny he said the enemy
attempted to raid one post under
cover of heavy bonn bardment but
were repulsed. At other points on
the Cambria front there were patrol
encounters in which British forces
dispersed enemy workers and took
prisoners
The report was in line with the
general belief here of Germany's
preparations for grand offensive.
The aerial activity indicated ener-
getic attempts TO seek out British
positions and disposition of forces,
the artillery showed preliminary
hunting out of weak spots and the
raids were of the sort which one
side employs constantly prior to an
attack to ascertain exactly what
forces oppose them.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
ITALY, Dec. 11.-.British and French
troops today are duplicating on the
Italian front the impregnable British
and French trench lines On the west
front, while Germany and Austria pre-
pare their greatest OF all assaults to
break through y
The geographic advantages are with
the enemy. The Austro-G Germans now
occupy the crest and the southern
slopes of the Alps Their positions
completely dominate the entire We
netian and Iornbardy plains Every
movement OF the Italian. French and
British armies on the flat ground is
plainly visible to the enemy.
The Brenta, Piave, Adige and other
valleys traverse the Alps and furnish
doo-wavs fcr an invasion which are
exceedingly difficult OF defense.
Behind the enemy's lines the Alps
are traversed east and west BY road
ways permitting rapid transfer of
troops and materials for sudden chang
ing attacks, They furnish great ar
terfes of communication from east to
west OF the Piaye-or even from west
of Lake Garda.
Any success to an attack like the
present one on the Asiaeo plateau
would force immediate abandonment
of the Piave line. 1t would mean a
retreat by the Italians either to the
Adige or the Pc lines.
Not only does the actual battle line
contour thus favor the enemy. but
Germany and Austria both have ac-
cess TO the easiest and most direct
Alpine passes for the lines OF com
nunications back home. One of these
is the historic Bremen path-between
Innsbruck and Trent
1t was over this highway that the
German armies crossed and invaded
the Venetian plains during the middle
age conflicts between Germany and
the Dapacy.

have taken over vulnerable sectors of

made themselves almost at home.
