people with only a moderate desire
for adventure.
Haggerty was assistant foreman Il

At Arditi furiously repeated assaults
were reported. which wiped out great bod

Further to the north, in the mountains,
the operations are masked in terrible
weather. II has been raining and showing
IN a continuous gale for several days.
Julius Price, official correspondent for
the British press with the Italian army,
now in London, said today that instant aid
must be rendered to Italy

said. ."At all hazards the invasion of Italy
must be stopped.
Italy has never been sufficiently strong

Overwhelming odds
'However, provided British reinforce

q poor chance of success.
There is not a moment to lose. At

situation is handled with Cadorna's STRAIT
