DEFENSES
HIGHLY ORGANIZED

Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy,
Tuesday, Dec. S.-(By the Associated
Pressl.-A general commanding an army
corps on the Piave front took the cor
respondent along the line occupied by his
corps today and pointed out the Austro-
German nest on the west bank Of the
river, which is the only foothoid he has
succeeded in maintaining.
AS the party moved forward it was not
ed that the defcnses had been highly or
ganized so that any sudden rush 81 the
enemy would meet tremendous resistance.
Entering the first line trenches the gen
eral led the way. The ground in front
was covered with low bushes and scrubby
vines running down to the waters edge.
Behind this ran a high earthen embank-
ment originally erected as a dyke but now
serving the nemy as a refuge against
petty Smelling. The general stated that
the enemy force in the ZeZnson curve was
about three battalions, or 200 men. with
a.. exceptionally large supply Of machine
guns. Their communications were princi-
pally operated in the night hou.s.
The enemy's foothold on the west bank
OF the Piave here was not regarded by
the general as q serious menace to the
Italians as it was not a base which could
be augmented by an increase of the
forces. 1t could be cleared out at any
time. he said, but the effort was not worth
the sacrifice il would require in the face
of the machine guns. The bend was COM
pleteiy controlled and hemmed in and il
was better, he thought. to let the enemv
sacrifice his men in holding q position
useless 10 him.
