Military authorities here say the

Issued from Berlin. should cause-lit-

They point out that the Italian
army. boastinr of more than 5000 900
men, can stand the loss OF $50 900 men.
Heartening news Is seen In the fact
that all the big British guns loaned
to Italy were saved. The arrival of

also means that the enemy will face
