an opportunity today to see Goriris

which Gorria is the s,ragetc center.
The visit was made at All opportune
moment. Just as the Austrians and Ger
mans were inauguraing their heavy
offensive from the north IN the effort
to redeem their recent heavy losses.
Such an offensive had been expected
for several days, as information reach
ing headquarters showed that the en-
emy was preparing for the supreme
move OF the year Austrian forces in
the north, where they were no longer
required against the inactive Russian
armies, had been sent to this front
Germans Rushed TO Aid.
At the same time the German staff
had awakened to the possibilities OF the
Italian front, and for the first time
Brandenburg troops were identified
along this nearby front, and shells
from large osllbcr German guns were
falling for the first time from the en-
emy position on Monte San Gabrielle
and around Monte Rosso
This with the fury Of the German
fire, made II evident that the enemy
would seek to regain the vast Bainsirza
plateau which the Italians recently took
with 10000 prisoners as the Italian
strip on the plateau opened the way
