defenses of the new camp, establishing
these in positions nearly impregnable
but equally disadvantageous for the
health of the defenders and possible
assailants. In April. 1916. Gen. Piacen-
TIM expected an attack by the Aus

Greeks, who without permission from
any one had begun to occupy southern
Albania, as early as 1913. or rather had
never carried out their treaty obliga-
tions to abandon the lands to the north
west of the frontier.
