Already the advance of the allied

Joined the Italians and in all proba-
bility the English and French artillery
men are now answering Mackensen's
fire and countering the flanking move
ment from the Carnic Alps, which the
Austrians under Won Krobatin has
started.
Trained Fighters Sent.
The dispatch Of these experienced
fighters. trained by three years in the
trenches. engaged in stopping Won
Hindenbsrg, was the aid extended to
Italy at the moment when the disas-
ter Of the Isonzo was at It's height.
This was the news, suppressed un-
til today, that changed the forebodings
Of the Italians to a renewed confidence
in the victory that must follow the CO.
ordination of the allied efforts against
the enemy.
Now at the Front.
At the Italian embassy it was ex.
planned that due to the excellent rail-
way communications the REINFORCE
ments could reach the front in twenty
four hours. AS they were started on
Tuesday, they must be now part Of
the force that has slowed up the Ger
man advance, and that is depended >on
to make the Tagliamento the high
water mark Of the drive on Italy.
If they do not stop Mackensen on the
Tagliamento they have the Plave to
fall back on.
These reinforcements are being
rushed overland from France, with
English and French artillerymen in
charge Of the monster guns.
Cannon Needed.
They can get men to the italian
front in twenty-four hours, but with
out the cannon the effect Of the new
comersl is moral rather than physical.
Italy has 1000, 900 men to draw on; but
she must fill the gap left by the srtil-
lery she was compelled to abandon II
she is 70 stand off the Teutonic ava
lanche.
Under the weight OF the guns an
ordinary railway car would be crushed
fiat. Under the. weight OF the special
cars that must be supplied and of these
guns the strongest railway bridge built
for peace traffic would collapse.
(, Strengthen Bridges.
So every bridge along the line from
France to Italy must be bfaced and
buttfessed before the guns go over.
The military sharps calculate that it
will take from ten to twelve days to
get the railroad in shape for the trans
portatfon Of the heavles: artillery. The
thought of what might happen in ten
or twelve days OF the sort of warfare
the German-Austrian columns have
shown in the. same period just passed
is what brought the hurry up help.
However, the Italians - and they
should know more about it than any
