ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUAR
TERS, May 25.—The Italian and al
lied forces on the mountain front are
in the best of condition. The winter
months were utilized in strengthen
ing the defenses and reinforcing lines
of works until the whole region is
interlaced with powerful systems of
defense and attack. There are vast
stores of guns and ammunition, and |
the spirit of the men is one of confi- [
dence and eagerness for an approach-1
ing conflict in the mountain regions I
General Plummer, commander of
the British force, recently announced
their establishment in new positions |
in the mountain sector around Asiago,!
and General Diaz's bulletins now re-1
fer to the operations of the British
forces in that mountain region. The!
French, too, who made their brilliant |
stroke in Mount Tomba, are also in I
this mountain region.
It is here that three Austrian ar
mies under Field Marshal Conrad Von
Hertzendorf are in position—the1
Tenth army, Eleventh army, and what
is known as the Kraus army, under
General Kraus. These armies com
prise in the neighborhood of forty
divisions, besides several divisions ofi
reserves, while on the Piave front the
Austrian commander, Boroevicli, has

about fifteen divisions and some re
serves. The divisions on the north
recently have been strengthened by
fresh troops brought front Austria’s
sections of the Russian and Ruma
nian fronts, which no longer need her
attention.
This enemy concentration has been
going on steadily for months, and the
Italian and allied forces have also
made powerful preparations for the
coming campaign.
The main cause for this shifting
attention from the Piave 'to the moun
tain line Is of a strategic character.
The Italian front has two main
branches, one running northward
from the Adriatic to a point twelve
miles east of Venice; and the other
turning westward across the moun
tain regions and running irregularly
up to the Swiss frontier. When the
enemy made his rush last fall the
first pressure was felt along the Piave
as the enemy swept in from the east
But later, when the Italians threw
the enemy into the river at Kagan
and Zenson and established a soli
defense of the river line, the enemy
turned his attention to the north an
began pressing down from the moun
tains.
Most of the enemy forces first
brought to the Piave line were grade
ally withdrawn to the mountain line
Von Buelow's German divisions were
among those shifted from the Piave
to the mountains, before Von Buelow
went to the French front. The Brit
ish reinforcements, which first took
position on the upper Piave at Mon
tello, soon observed that the enemy
artillery had slackened off to almost
nothing, and that the. enemy positions
on flic east bank were apparently it11
serted. The British made many raids
across the river, but met little oppo
sition, and there was some prospet t
that this would permit an advance 1>
the Italians and their allies eastward'
into the region invaded by the enemy
but held by them with reduced lor ' ~
it was evident, however, that the
enemy's inactivity on the Piave wa
part of a strategic plan, by which his
massing of forces on the north would
not only permit him to make an of
fensive in the mountain regions, lint
would also give him a position on the
Italian left flank in ease of an Italian
advance across the Piave into the in
vailed region. He was willing, tic r<
fore, to leave the Piave with con
paratively light forces and conci n
trate most of his strength in the moun
tains.
