The success of the great German offensive against Italy in the autumn of 1917 was largely ascribed to the German use of gas of such types and in such amounts that the Italian protective appliances were outmanoeuvred.

With great labour the defenders threw up intrenchments facing the north side of the island.

I would have thought Captain Wilson was old enough to know better."

There, she is recoverin'." She did soon recover; but weak and broken down as she was, no persuasion nor even authority could prevail upon her to remain at home.
