ON THE ITALIAN FRONT
SIGNS OF AN AUSTRIAN OFFENSIVE ■(Received February 27, 11 a.m.) . _ _ . LONDON, 26th February. There is evidence that Austria is preparing; an offensive on the Italian front. The enemy is broadening the roads and installing many aerial cable cars for the transport of war material in the mountains. Mr. Ward Price says that the new sector the British have taken over along the Piave is separated from the enemy by a river bed two thousand yards wide, with expanses of shingle and occasional patches of low scrub, through which streams flow amid a multitude of sandbank. The whole ground in front will be filled with •water in the spring when the snows melt.
