In the meantime, Italy will keep plug- ging away at the Austrian lines, thereby compelling the Kaiser to stretch out his force to such an extent that it will be imposible for him to concentrate for al real drive against the allies on the French

It is quite apparent that the Allies at presunt are unable to make any offensive movements against the Germans and Austrians. A victory at one spot means nothing. Places count for almost nothing in the present struggle. The only movement that will ever have a real effect apon the situation will be when one set of Allies break through the lines of the other and destroys a great part of an
