reserves Of victory"
The review points out that the fight
ing morale Of Italy may he relied upon,
no matter how intensive the German
peace campaign becomes and says:
The italian theatre once again Is
the scene Of important military activ-
itE. The enemy, impatient at the de-
lays which have occurred in bringing
about the successful penetration Of the
italian plain ana the overthrow OF the
Italian armies. has dispatched further
forces TO the Italian front with a view
to achieving a decisive result.
