Importance and extent. General Ca
dorna apparently is making a supreme
effort for a decision and the brilliant
successes he has already won have
aroused high hopes.
The Italian commander seems to be
following the Anglo-French tactics of
striking mighty alternative blows at
the ensmy's fanks. The roar Of his
guns can already be heard in Triest
but the wilderness of volcanic rock
and caves which lie between him and
his goal makes a rapid advance under
the most favorable circumstances al
most impossible. The most advanced
italian posts are scarcely more than
10 miles from the great Austrian naval
base, but this distance is not to be
