Surprise Explosion Under Ital-

clared Failure

LONDON, March 16.-No damage
was done to the Italian positions on
Monte Pasubo by the great Austrian
mine recently exploded there, according
to delayed Italian official army head
quarters statement, dated Thursday
and received here to-day.
The enemy had claimed the capture
OF Italian defence works after they had
been blown to pieces by the explosives
secretly placed beneath them. 9
The Italian statement also tells of a
clever stroke at the head of the Ornia
Valley, where an ambuscade was laid
and two enemy patrolling parties were
captured.
The enemy fired with artillery on a
field hospital at Bassano clearly
marked with the Red Cross, the state
ment says.
To-day's official Italian statement
tells of artillery duels and patrol ac-
tions.

Planned to Draw Foe Into Trap
Principle of Depth With Fanking Fire and Rearmos Po

Scheme of Three Parallel Lines

of the old defence system 1t will be
seen that it no longer consists of three
parallel trenches, but of eight trenches
or portions OF successive trenches, pro-
tected by wire entanglements. And
TINS figure eight can be extended to ten,
twelve, and even more, is the impor-
tance of the position or the nature of
the ground so demand
In the new system there is no longer
a first line, second line, or third line.
The first barrier is called the 'Vorfeld-
battlezone. The German front lines
consist simply of craters or small shell
ters, where observers are stationed;
then, further back, the trenches get
deeper, more solid and better supplied
with material and men. The first zone
Is intended to furnish a permanent
view of the enemy and also, in case

Will seriously weaken the force of the
attacker
Main Battle Zone
"The second barrier is called the
'Grosskampfzone,' the main battle zone.
Here, as in the preceding case, there is
a system of works and trenches graded
in depth to great distance with strong
points and shelters. The machine guns
are distributed chessboard fashion,
some Of them crossing their fields of
fire so as to break the interval between
two works, others fianking these works
and helping to decimate the attackers
by the lines of fire formed by the COM
munlcatlon trenches running at right
angles to the general line of defence
In this second zone the weight Of the
attack will be received and must be
thrown back, however great its vio-
lcnce.

some details about the defence:
The zones must be far enough
away from one another to prevent the
enemy artillery from bombarding two
at The same time.
1.-The distribution of material and
men must be such that the density of
hre and resistance increases from the
front line to the back line of the zone.
The concrete structures are to be
reserved for the front zone, and the
deep shelters for the rear zone.
The communication ways connect
ing the trenches are to be organized
SO as to form lines of fanking fire.
supplementary emplacements will
be made for pieces of artillery, and
also shelters in case during the battle
the original ones become untenable.
The battle zonss will be formed
by the combatant troops under the di-
rection of the divisions and army
groups; the rear zone will be organ
lied, under the direction of special
stats, by territorial labor battalions
and pioneers.
"The trenches are to be constructed
on counter slope whenever the slope
can be overlooked by observation posts
and machine-guns can effectively sweep
the field Of attack.
