ammunition now.

Not only was the italian offensive
seemingly planned to receive Austria 's
military slump, but there is every evi.
dence that the Germans hope to deepen
Italian political difficulties. Every
dispatch from Rome today emphasized
that the drive was likely to have ex-
actly the opposite effect.
The British press today admitted the
German campaign was fraught with
grave issues, but every confidence was
expressed in General Cadorna 3 ability
to withstand the drive. Official dis,
patches indicated that the withdrawal
from the Bainsizza plateau was being
effected in orderly fashion. The Ital
ians in at least one place are now
fighting on their own soil endeavoring
to stem the invader.
