KERENSKY TO REBUILD

Russia will not hght this winter She

from now on England and France-and
later America-must bear the lruat of the
war on the west front.
England has counted Russia out as n
factor Of military strength since the Boil

not hesitate to add that the victory which
the German propaganda service scored i'm

was greater than that which Mackensen's $

reports have claimed as the booty of the
invaders would permit the italians TO re-
tain this line. Idorna, It was realized, must
have great artillery strength IL he is to
hold the Germans back. His defeat at the
outset of the invasion was due to pre-
ponderance of Teutonic guns. And Of this
smaller store of metal the Berlin state
ments report 1900 guns taken. Loss of
men, even the enormous total of 100000
claimed by Berlin, was not considered fatal
Italy has plenty of man power.
The Germans today hold the vital bridge
heads on the eastern bank of the Taglia-
mento. 1t Is supposed that Cadorna his
army once safely over, destroyed the
bridges themselves but this is not certain.
Oficials here believe that General Ca
dorna is entertaining two plans for bat
tie. One is along the Taglamento, pro-
vded the enemy has not made too deep an
inroad from the Carnic Alps; the other, on
the Piave River, which flows westward
and which already is bristling with strong
Notifications.
Heartening news is seen in the fact that
all of the big British guns were saved. The
arrival of the Anglo French REINFORCE
ments also means that the enemy will face
the heaviest fire yet to be encountered in
an attack against the Italian forces
First description of the original Ger
man assault by which Won Mackensen
gained the initial impetus for his great
driVe-admittedly the most oVerwhelm-
ing maneuver of this kind since the war
started-was received here today. The Ger
mans tried a new trick.
They opened a deluge of shellflre. It
was the greatest concentration of artillery
the Italians had ever undergone II covered
every inch of the front-eXcept a certain
small sector. The fire did fearful execu-
tion everywhere. At the height of its in
,onsity, when Italian troops we're bent
nnder dugouts everywhere-even In Nne
small sector over which the Germans with
held their frc--the German attack came.
1t was aimed at the small gap in the Italian
line from which the German fire had been
withheld. The assaulting wave caught the
Italians there under their dugouts and
crouching in the trenches. The defenders
had no idea that an assault was coming,
because on both sides of them the usual
preparatory artillery fire was still pound
ing away, and there had been no change to
a barrage curtain.
Thus catching the Italians by surprise
the initial wave of the German advance
penetrated Cadorna's line and started the
great sweep forward The tremendous Ger
man artillery fire continued without abate-
ment as Cadorna strove to send re-enforce-
ments to repair this break. 1t must have
done terrible execution i'm the ranks of
troops sent up to head off the Germans
