It is pointed out that the new Italian front, although the enforced, retirement to it was marked by heavy losses in men and material, affords the strategic advantage of being straighter and shorter than the old line, and therefore theoretically is casier to defend.

Flanking Thrust
Possible Menace.

With the known strong concentration of Austrian and German forces against the Italians, however, there exists the menace to this line of a flanking thrust from the north. Close attention, therefore, is being paid to the Trentino front, whence a heavy low is not an unlikely development, provided the Teutonic intention is to pursue the campaign in Italy beyond the stage already reached.

Berlin announces the completion by the Germans of the withdrawal of their line from the Chemin-des-Dames plateau. The Paris account of the movement shows the German retirement to have extended along a 13 mile front from the Oise-Aisne canal to Corbeny. The crown prince withdrew his lines a maximum distance of a mile to the north [[?]]the Ailette, commanding .... proaches to the fort...?keystone of the ........................? region.
