ITALIAN ARMIES DESTROYED IN BALKANS!

The top news story of the latest campaigns in Europe is of the crushing defeats faced by Italy this Spring. As the Turkish and Austrian armies combined and lashed back viciously. Trapped in both Serbia and Trieste unable to retreat the Italian forces broke. Many were slaughtered while the remaining soldiers scattered into the war-torn country side. Yet all has not gone well for Austria. In focusing on the Italian invaders they had to turn their back on Russia who used the opening to slip into Vienna.

To the north this reporter has little to say about the complex dance being played between Russia, England and Germany. It is clear to say there is any rhyme or reason to the troop motions there, or if there is unclear to all but the leaders of those nations. France, however, seems rather confident as her armies continue to march forward facing no major defeats to date. But what will come next in this vicious and thus far bloodied campaign?
