AUSTRIAN DEFENCES. The Austrian fortifications of this froutier have hitherto correspondel with the characteristics of the two frontier sectors, In the first, all routes leading fron Lombardy and Venetia are barred by strong works. In the second, there were practically no fortifications when war broke out, but it is probably the case that this situation is altered now, for the Austrian Army is no longer free to conduct offensive operations on a large scale on this front.

The western front of the Trentino is so strong that very little is required to aid nature, bot Stelvio, fonale, and Giudicaria have certain works to aid the garrisons in their tasks.
