The disputed Chaco region, as the lines stood in February, 1933. Since then the Paraguayans have twice made advances, and last week it was reported that the Bolivians had made a counter-offensive and wiped out most of those gains. To-day it is the Paraguayans who claim a notable success, with capture of seven forts. When war began, in July, 1932, each of the belligerents held fourteen, positions in the main line of forts which have since been in the fighting. Most of these forts are stockades or small groups of wooden and adobe buildings used for housing the garrisons. Only the more important ones have roofs. At the outset, it has been said, but two of these positions could by any stretch of the imagination be called forts. Munoz on the Bolivian side and Ayala, or Nanawa, on the Paraguayan side were fortified positions of real military importance.
