Colonel Repington on the Italian Invasion.

London; November 3.--Lient Col Repingtor, the Times military

rt, writee:-

euming that we can count on tl recovery of the Italian armise upon one or other of the very defensible lines upon which they

CAR fall back, there little silver lining to the I alian eload. The approsaben when operations in France and Flanders penally die own me they died down in the Alpe, lat on the Italian plains ibere is nothing to prevent fight- ing all through the winter. It is to the adraufâge of the ride with the greatest military resources, both notasl and potential, to con- tinue the war of attrition through the winter.

Not only Italy, hat Switzerland as well falls within the western front, and in the greater contest of Italy more important becomes tha Swina theatre. We must keep our eyes open, as it will

surpriaaa. Од the whole westerd front the Allies can aid one snother without involving the transport of men and met rials by sea, and there is nothing simpler than for them to afford one spatlier" ach aid. Bach ec-2 operation can, if necessary, extend to the sea front, an Austria ia vulnerable on the Adriatic if a naval campaign is waged there with vigor. The Allies will need to force the pace this wigter by waging war on ees and land, not by little packets of Allied troops and ships, but by important fo cAR which will carry ca the war with high-banded vigor, -

Frevery German division with. -drawn from Frarcam 1-5y n and our gold friends, the French and the Americans, caaffo de to Bend more thao every & rm 10- Austrian división taken from the Russo Ramanian front, which makes, the task of cons es«lera allion easier. We have good positions now in France and Flanders, gcd superiority in msn, gune, and these re while

winter temporarily suspends the Flanders fighting, we can, with ont sandne risk, make things: lively in Italy.

The temporary relexstion of the Austro-German attack upon General Cadorna's armies is due to influences which must have understood that there is fairly good railway communication behind the armies of Von Balow at Borcevio, but westward to Tolmine there is none. To ex tract all the marobing columna. from the mountains, to resort them to build bridges and repair railways, to bring frech supplies sad food-those who displayed Roch remarkable dach and endur. ance can have made a present to the Austro-Germice of some of the strongest positions on the Jalian Osrajc front only unless some maleficent propagandiem Ead been worked among them. Sach propagands we know there has been, and we know it from! German and other sources, whence it springa.

We must not ran away with the ides that we propose to abandon the plan of campaign in the west. Tuo Ialian sector on the western front must remain sabordinate and secondary, for only a few German divisions are there, and one reason why they are there is to tempt us to relax our deadly grip on Flanders.
