TOE ENEMY'S ONE CHANCE.
LONDON, October 26
The "Daily News" correspondent, wlio was recently on the Italian front, says : —" The mam blows of the AustroGerman attack fell in the neighbourhood of Plezzo and Tolmino, where the Italian adance "was the least marked of a.ny since the Isonzo campaign commenced. This is the shortest cut for a raid into Italian territory for the purpose of impressing German public opinion. Unfortunately, a point south of Tolmino is strategically important, because if the enemy push down the right bank of the river on heights at the water's edge, the recent Italian gains on the Barnsizza Plateau must be peopardised. A strip of country shirting the river lends itself to defence, and Cadorna. will not be surprised. So there are good reasons for hoping that lie will rooii bring the attackers to a standstill." —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
German .communique.— We are making rapid progress on the Itai:an front, securing prisoners and booty hourly.
