much blood came as the result of a
drive" of the Won Mackensen order
the same kind that overwhelmed
Serbia and Roumania. 1t will not
overwhelm Italy, of course; but it will
serve to demonstrate anew the woeful
lack of coordination among the Allies
which permits three nations in success
sion to be thus smitten. There was
ample. warning of the contemplated
assault. Cadorna knew of it and made
such dispositions as he could. Yet
German troops-said to number AGO.
000-were transported tothe Austrian
front and hurled against the Italians,
while, so far as it known, no effective
effort was made to strengthen the
Italian line with English soldiers.
There are thousands of Allied troops
at Saloniki-English and French pre-
dominating-and some of them could
have been spared, as layman would
think to succor the Italians in their
endeavor to hold their hard won gains
along the Isonzo. 1t is not an encour-
aging sign for the Americans who are
about to enter the trenches; and the
forthcoming war conference at Paris,
or wherever it is to meet, should form
