ITALIAN VICTORIES, An announcement from Rome today 18 to the éffect that the Italian army has penetrated the country of its nearest enemy to points two or three miles from the Italian border. Sever- al 'points of vantage have been taken if the report is true, two points being on the railroads. Triest is but twenty miles from some of the captured towns. The attention of the American peo- ple is. centered just now on the war in that zone. The fighting will not ocoupy as many men as that on the western and eastern fronts but the entrance of a new power into the hos- tilities will be watched with interest to ascertain the effect of an unknown factor.- The. war on the other fronts has been in a deadlock for such a long period that it does not draw the its’ verdict: ~*We, the jury, find that the deceased came to his death by calling Bill Jones a liar.”—Brooklyn | Standard-Union.

Even the hundreds of thousands of motion-picture fans fail to realize the extent of the “movie” as an industry. According to the federal census bu- reau 68,000 miles of film were manu- factured for tht United States at a cost of $37,000,000 in the last eleven months of 1914. There is nothing now that the motion picture does not reproduce for the amusement and en- interest that is felt in Italy and her future.

(8pringfield Republican.) If Europk were in. a «reasonable frame of mind, the present moment would offer as good a chance for peace as there has been since Aug- ust 1, and perhaps better than there is likely to be for some time to come. The action of Italy makes more re- mote than every German’s chance of ultimate . victery, vet the honors of war are.still with German arms. It would be premature to assume that conquest will go no further, vet the territory occupied in Belgium, Franco and Russia is now large, and later 1t may shrink. If Germany should of- fer peace in good faith and with not ulterior though of revenge later, it would be enormously to the interest of Europe to make terms, and they would be better ferms than could be expected if the allies after a leng and ruinoug struggle should get the up- per hand. Unhappily what stands in the way is not only German pride but the fear of all the nations that a peace made now would be merely the pre- fude to a terrible revenge. The pack can. barely . hold the wild boar and dare. not .let -go their . grip. It is a wanderful tribute to Germany’s mili- tary power, but the outlqok for peace ds not bright. : Contributory Negligence on the Pub- lic Highways. (New York Sun.) © In the ‘thirty days of April sixty persons died in New York city as the result of street accidents, an average of two for' each day, and 1,894 were injured. From the records of the police department it appears that eighty per cent. of these misadven- tures were the result of the careless conduct of the victims themselves. Four-fifths of the accldents attributed 1o incaution on the part of those who suffered from them occurred at street crossings. % It is plain, therefore, that while recklessness on the part of motorists, drivefs and street car men persists, the public cannot escape a great share of the blame for the dangers it finds in the highways of the town. The fact that in crossing streets a person should be particularly alert seems to ignored by a large proportion of those who use the highways. TRis is con- firmed by ordinary observation, and disregard for conditions that explain many of the injuries sustained. It is apparent, therefore, that tne rigid en- forcement of intelligent traffic regu- lations must be applied not only to the well recognized agencies of danger but to those who are accustecmed to roam about with as little regard to their own safety as to that of others. No person who has observed the habits of iNew Yorkers in the streets can have failed to have impressed on manner in which vehicles are oper- ated, nor the utter indifference with which those who stand in imminent peril from them regard tne risks they take. \The first should be restrained; the second educated to ordinary pre- caution for the preservation of their lives and limbs, and if this proves in- ¢ffectual they too should be repressed for their own safety. Submarines. if Needed. (Waterbury Democrat.) The ship-building yards at Fore River, Mass., have turned out ten sub- marines for Great Britain five months. At that rate, American ship- yards, private and public, could pro: vide us with several dozen modern submarines in six months' time, in Jpan has been acting for China's ‘good, states the Japanese embassy.

We could take over those British boats, too, in.an emergency, just as th British govern- ment appropriated and paid for for- elgn-owned vessels of war that that were building or waiting for delivery in her shipyards when the war broke out. As matters stand, ;Wwe may re- gard those ten submarines ‘as a, po- tential reserve of our own navy, They couldn’t be delivered ‘to Great Brit- ain anyhow, during the war, without violating our neutrality.

But they | Italy’s Problem. (Springfield Republican.) Those who ‘look for swift and de- cisive results from Italy’s action should look at a relief map of the Italian frontier. Strategically its position is the weakest in Europe. Because of its long coast line it is peculiarly vulnerable to attack by sea; because of its long mountain barrier, the keys to which are in alien control, it is peculiarly vulner- | able to attack by land. Rome, which to guard itself had to conquer Italy, found that to guard Italy it had to control the Alps and the turbulent tribes beyond. When united Italy was created the frontler was left weak by Austria's retention of Trent and the ‘wedge running down into the very heart of northern ltaly at Lake Gar- da. outlet which passes this lake on its way to the Brenner pass, Innsbruck and Bavaria there is not a practicable route for a railroad over the Alpine Parrier which Austria controls. Ttaly’s first and/ paramount pro- blem, having accepted the hazards of war, must be to guard-its whole fron- tier, from the French border to the Adriatic. Tl that is » provided for and talk of sending one army against Vienna, another to the Dardanelles, a third through France against Alsace is futile. It s asserted that some- thing like a.million men are now under arms for the army of the first line, and when mobilization is com- pleted the number may Be doubled. Till that is accomplished, and it may take from a fortnight to a month, the initigtive will lie with the Teuetonic allles, and 'it is not to be supposed that the German general staff,” with such ample warning, has .not com- pleted, its plans. Gossip may be wrong in giving the dour “old man of the lakes” Gen. Von' Mindenburg, command of the Joint forces which are to operate against 1Italy, yet whoever com- mands it is not th~ German way to wait to be attack:d, The rich 'in- dustrial part of ‘Ttaly as of France lies within eesy reach of an invading army, and never yet at the Italian maneuvers has the army of defense been able in the judgment of the um- pirer to hold its own. If the central allies can squeeze from their long bat- tle lines enough men for a furious rald such as Hindenburg made again and agan into Poland, *he chances are that they will decide for a swift cam- paign of revenge against their former ally, and if they should succeed the fate of Belgium, whose sin was mere- ly that she blocked the road to Paris would be merieiful compared with what Italy could expect: Such a coup would certainly be made if the frontier should be weakened by the dispatch of irrelevant expeditionary forces. / How great an army the central states can at the present moment dis- p_atch against Italy can not be es- timated, and German statements as to 680,000 men on the 484 miles of the Austrian frontler may have been meant to deceive.. Germany has been making stipendous efforts this spring, and has in the field or ready for the fleld, new forces of unknown strength. On the west the army is holding. its own fairly well against the much- heralded “drive” of the allies: in ‘Flanders and France. In the east simultaneously with the joint offen- sive. which defeated the Russians in Galicia, the Germans recklessly ex- tended their Mnes still further by invading the Baltic provinces as far as Libau and Riga. If the slowness of the Russian army, now in a some- what demoralized condition, and - the possibility of temporaritly stripping the trenches in the west are con- sidered, it may be that with new troops and what Austria can recall from other flelds without immediate disaster, a force can be concentrated against Ttaly which .under a first-rate general will keep the Italian manders busy, Sych a drive, weakening the line elsewhere, could not be kept up in- definitely, for the allles would seize the opportunity to exert pressure on all sides. But the campaign against Italy "would be pressed all the more violently because the time was lim- ited, and g blow at the heart of in- dustrial y might be taken as worth some sacrifice of foreign territory held elsewhere. German strategy would not be governed by a desire | for revenge, but victory in a swift | Marengo onslaught would give ample | opportunity to make Italy pay dear- ly for deserting its allies. This is the risk, and a very terrible risk, which must govern Italian strategy. But while the Italian fortification are by no means so strong as those across the border, and while the length of 'the peninsula is a handicap in mobiliza- tion, the railroads 6f the northern plain are well adapted for concentrat- ing troops to meet an invasion, and Italy’s aerial service, trained in the African war, is highly efficient. With the lessons learned from the trench warfare of the past nine months, an attack from across the Alps should be successfully met unless reckless | generalhip leave the way open for a blow. Till that danger is met the ItaMans cannot safely engage in adventures. To strike effectively at Austria it is necessary to move to the east near the head_of the Adriatic, where the ground is less difficult. A campaign against the peninsula of Istria and the naval base.at Pola would be but a side issue, through not easy. An ad- vance tdward Vienna through Crinola or an invasion of the Hungarian plain would leave flank and rear ex- posed to a swift German onslaught through Tyrol and the Trentino. Even | Switzerland is a menace that must be | guarded. For all these reasons Italy’s activity, though it will be in- tense, must be carefully - limited in scope, or there i§ danger of incalcu- Lmble disaster.

McMILLAN 199-201-203 MAIN AND STREET to go to war has doubtless taken its precautions. The more cautious its policy, the more 1likely is the first fighting to be on Italian soil; later there will be reserves for pressing an offensive, which has no doubt been carefully studied. Two Mistaken Empires, (New York World.) The neutrality of tahe United States finds ‘little respect in Great Britaia and Germany because both of these empires have been disappointed in it. Both presumed on our friendship and each expected to profit by it at the expense of the other. Both wanted a champion. If we had met the wishes of Ger- many in all respects, our citizens, ships and cargoes would not have been exposed to the murderous perils of submarine and aerial attack. If we had taken orders from London, our property at sea would not have been seized and tied up in British prize courts. We are under coercion from both sides—not to continue or strengthen our neutrality but to break it down. Germany promises to cease submarine assassination of merchantmen if we will compel Great Britain to abandon its so-called blockade of foodstuffs. In other words, we are asked to become an ally of Germany. ’ Great Britain will not interfere law- lessly with our shipping if we forego, as a War measure against Germany, our undoubted right to trade with other neutral nations. To accept Brit- ish terms would "be to act practically as an ally of Great Britain. The same pressure was put upon the United States early in the nineteenth century by Great Britain and France, the Jatter then dominated by Napoleon Bonaparte. Both scourged our com- merce and each had the impudence to say to us that if we compelled the other to change its war policies it would no longer. deny us our rights at sea. Such conditions became in- tolerable then. They cannot be ac- cepted now. The gevernments of London and Berlin are presuming upon American sympathy. They are not attempting to do justicé, They are looking for assistance. Both are mistaken. There wil be neither sympathy ' nor as- sistance here for any belligerent that trespasses upon the rights of the United States. The Madness of Europe.

The tempest has been let loose by the hands of incompetent politicians, whose narrow minds, warped by com- mercial jealousy, deemed its states- manship to array nation against na- tion to destroy its competitors. Schiller, in his “Wwallenstein,” speaks of that ‘*‘deep, remorseless rage that hears no leaders,” and the people of Europe are at the very en- trance of that state of mind at the present time. Shakespeare, in his “Richard IL" portrays well the Europe of today: The bay trees in our country are all withered, The meteors fight the fixed stars of heaven; The pale faced moon looks bloody on the earth, And lean-looked fearful change: Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap. prophets whisper Italy’s Fieet Is Powerful. (Boston Herald.) Italy has 4 navy which, well handled by its commander-in-chief, the Duke of Abruzzi, should be powerful enough to bottle up the Aus- trian fleet in the Adriatic, and enable the French fleet there to move to the re-enforcement of the battered allied squadrons in the Dardaneiies. It is not often remembered now that Ttalian naval architects were pioneers- in the master-gun ship, and that twenty or thirty years ago the Italian colors floated over the most formidable armorclads in the world. United Italy had taken sharply to heart the defeat by Austrfa in the nattle of Lissa, and had begun the creation of an unconquerable navy. Of course, these earlier Ttalian monsters have long since ben eclipsed, but there are some formidable dreadnaughts of a new, advanced type in the three prin- cipal Italian squadrons arready mobil- ized—ships -edch carrying twelve or thirteen 12-inch guns, and equivalent in tonnage to the North Dakota, Utah or Delaware in the battle ithe of the TUnited States. Altogether the Italian navy is a dis- inctively stronger, better balanced force than the war fleet of Austro- Hungary. In high-speed, torpedo boat destroyers, of particular value in the narrow waters of the Adriatic. the Italian superjority is marked and un- deniable, Italian guns and armor are produced at home, and the heavy warships have been built at home. Italy is 4 mightier sea power than Austro-Hungary, and in her dock sards, machine shops and maritime population is far better prepared for the shock of war. British influence has largely shaped the development of the Italian navy, and Italian shipe and giynworks have heen planned and built under expert Uritish technical /instruction. The coasts of thé long peninsula; tHe! ure thousands of hardy sailors and fishermen, the best possible materiafl for a naval reserve. On the sea on the land Italy, if her friends know her, will prove an aggreseive and en- during factor in this greatest war o netions. The Editor. (Woodbury Reporter.) Considér the editor.
