Abo WAR ABOVE CLOUDS IN TTALIAN ALPS Fighting Going on at Altitude of 11,600 Feet Above Sea (Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Headquarters of the Itallan Army, June 25. which Virgil crowned “King of the Italian Alps,” is the most elevated where war has ever been staged. Through the courtesy of the Italian geneal staff, which is desirous that the world outside of Italy should know the hardships of this unprecedented 1paign, the correspondent of the ated Press was the first civilian owed to witness the fighting on this mountain, which is 11,500 feet high and covered with eternal ENOWS. o Adamello, ossal correspondent saw the moun- ain swarming with thousands of white-clad Alpine soldiers nlert, cager, crossing lenging avalanches, glaclers, chal- charging the ene- my with fixed bayonets,—all above the | clouds. There the correspondent witnessed the action of heavy artillery, a bat- tery of which fired from the highest point in the world where artillery had ever been placed or from which it had ever been fired. It seemed al- most a miracle that such big guns could have been transported in two months of hard labor from a distance of fifteen miles in one of the valleys below. Over two hundred men had been required for the dragging of a gingle one of the pieces, and at one stage of the work an avalanche had swooped down from the mountain sides and swallowed up the cannon eand devoured forty of the men The professional mountain climber never attempted to reach the top of Adamello, but in summer the view of the surrounding Alps with Mont Blanc, the Jungfrau, and Monte Rosa In the distance is considered the best In Europe. Winter and summer, the fighting there is under conditions that prevail only in the Arctic regions. There Austrians and Ttalians meet in gilent death grip, their deaths and their deeds all but unrecorded save In dry army annals, given but a brief jine in the terse bulletins of G ral Cadorna. While the Austrian and Italian can- non rumbled lazily, exchanging' rude courtesies, or seeking to dislodge avalanches to better destroy and ham- per the enemy, awakening echoes that Jeaped from dozens of miles up and down the abrupt peaks, the genial Ttalian colonel accompanying the cor- respondent remarked that in no other war had such fighting ever been, that neither the armies of Hannibal, nor spot in the world | singing, | FRIDAY MORNING.

Same Conditions For 275 Miles. the Adamello region, but repeat them- selves on two-thirds of the Italian front, or over a line of 275 miles of mountain chains going from ‘the Swiss frontier down to the banks of the Isonzo river from which can be seen the “bitter” blue of the Adriatic, {as the poet d’Annunzio described it. Along this line titanic struggles take place daily of which the outside world never hears. It took five days for the correspondent to slowly climb the Adamello crest and in this period the Itali succeeded in blowing off the top another mountain called Coldi Lana, which suddenly burst into the air with its defenders who were on their side trying to explode a mine | which would blow to pieces the Ital- jan troops. One of the curious facts connected with this mountain front is that no- where have the song birds deserted it It T were to write home that every night I -0 sleep listening to the boom of cannon I would be readily believed, but if I added that often T lie ke for hours listening | liquia trill of friendly nightingales in the nearby woods, would be taken for said an artillery officer as he and the correspondent on their way across a wooded valley to listen to nightingale’s song. “That song not an excep- * he explained, “I have crossed is valley about this time of night for S way to my quarters, is alway singing, mno violent the artillery late one night stopped is h\rr\ how and th.n matter noise.” Skylarks Aplenty. In the mountain the correspondent noted that the sky- larks held to their usual haunts with the same tenacity as the nightingales in the lower country, flying high in the air until they went out of sight above the snowy peaks, apparently undis- turbed by the whizzing of the shells that went through the air hundreds of feet above the soldiers, This explanation was advanced by an officer of the Alpini who had been v vears in the mountains: ‘“These upper to the mountalns, such as caused by the cracking of avalanches, ing of boulders from the peaks into the valleys, and as artillery fire here makes a noise not so very different from these oth the birds are not frightened away From here the correspondent re- { turned by devious footpaths, on the | backs of the older soldiers of the re- serve, on sure-footed little donkeys, e used to the noises peculiar | the roll- | regular These conditions are not limited to | to the | | soldiers at tremendous sacrifices, | lence the heavy DON'TNEED GOMPERS. > | as yet succeeded in bringing little | | ference districts | $29.50 $32.50 $35.00 $39.50 regular valleys, to the lower country the fighting better ki ong the Isonzo ri where hills are hard- ly more than a thousand feet in height, where they drop to five hundred, three hundred feet, before the line slides off into the Adriatic. That the new effort of the Italians to advance will be unhandicapped by the aifficulties of a year a when not only men but small armsand cannon were lacking, may be appreciated by the fact that now the army is equipped with numerous heavy can- non, new artillery, manufactured in Italy.
