northeast of Levico. which is ten
miles southeast of Trent. This
mountain, more than 6,000 feet high,
is one of the outposts of Trent.
In attempting to advance on Trent
the Italian forces found before them
a long and difficult task. From the
top of Mount Panarotta down to the
Tenna pass is a succession of forts
and entrenchments for more than
twenty miles, and connected by
underground passages built last
September.
The gigantic defenses of the Aus

Stelvio Passa, near the Swiss fron
tier, down to Lake Garda and up to
the Carnlo Alps. They form a bar
rier more than 200 miles long, in
which nature herself has built the
most formidable bulwarks.
