HOW TO FIGURE ROME'S GAIN — | (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) ROME, Nov. 23.—Italy now has | 2,000,000 men engaged in the war and is preparing to add another mil- lion. About a million men are on | the fighting line, stretched along the mountains from Trentino in the west to the Austrian stronghold of Gorizia in the east. Another million 1 is in reserve. The third million is | represented in the additional classes now being assembled. What Italy has accomplished in the war is best understood by taking a map of Italy showing the northern frontler. The Alps sweep in a great semli-circle from the French frontier on the Mediter- ranean to the Austrlan frontier on the Adriatic. This sweep of the Alps from west to east is a sort of natural bulwark or boundary of Italy, separating it from the nations and races to the north now, as it did in the days of ancient Rome. Dented to South. But in two places this natural sweep of the Alps is dented deeply to the south- ward first in the Trentino reglon in the west and then In the Triest reglon of the upper Adriatic. Thus the natural bound- ary of the Alps s broken at two vital points and Austria has stretched down at both these points and firmly established its political control, its control of Tren- tino dating from the time of Napoleon and of the Triest region from the war of 1865, The first object therefore of TItaly's campaign 18 to get back the two provinces which dent the natural frontier of the Alps, thus regaining former Itallan terri- tory and re-establishing the great moun- tain range as its strategic defense. This main objective has necessitated dividing the campaign into two parts, one in the | west with Trent as the center, and the other in the east with Triest as the chief objoct. Between 00,0 and 00,00 men | are engaged iIn the western operations ARE SPREADING AND DINTY MOORE'S CAFE| 'S ABOUT TO GO! THE FLAMES &Hs ME -~ MAGOR] around back of Triest with Austrian bat- terles posted at every crest. The Italian commanders therefore decided that it was a military necessity to control all the approaches and mountain defenses before occupying the city. This has been the task of the campalgn which has been going on during the last six months with its maze of geographical names, all these being small accessories in the vast natural defenses, and necessary to be con. quered before Triest ftself can be held Most of the fighting In this region has been along the Isonzo river with the Austrian town of Gorizia as the main point of attack. Here the Italians be- gan the slow and tedious process of first gaining control of all the elevated posi- tions which could serve the Austrians before pressing forward on Gorizia and Triest. This has required the movement of troops along mountain roads and the carrying of heavy guns to great heights. Satisfled with Progress. The Itallan commanders express satis- faction with the progress made in the last six months. All the fighting has been on Austrlan soil and no Austrian troops have at any time entered Italy. The Austrian coast ports, Porto Buso and Grado, leading toward Triest, have been taken by the Itallans and from Grado the lights of Triest can be seen at night across the Adrlatic. Further north, in the mountain country, the Plava Pass has been won, although at the cost of whole regiments cut to pleces and a chain of mountain tops, villages and sta- tions has been establisheq encircling Gor- izia. But Gorizla itself still holds out through its natural mountain defenses and its rafllway lines pouring in constant supplies of fresh troops and ammunition. Quite distinct from the campaign around Gorizia is that in the other prov- ince of Trentino, fubther west. This has all been mountain fighting and little progress has been made. The great Al- pine ranges sweep around further north, but down through Trentino run innumer- able spurs of the Trention Alps, making it a vast atretch of gorges and peaks. It s called the Tyrolean country, al- though the real Tyrol is further north around Tnnesbruck, and the populatior there speaks German But hers the people are all Itallan in language, habits and sentiment and although in name, Austrian, most of the men have gone south to join the Italian army, The objective in this western fighting, is to take Trent,-in the center of Tren- tino and about fifty miles from the Ital- ian frontfer. The Itallans have thus far overed about half the way, reaching Rovereto, and clearing away the Aus- trian mountain batteries as they have proceeded. But all this is a hard, cold uphill fight, without much result thus tar, In summing up what has been done in these two eampaigns, the net result in casualties, prisoners, etc., is about as follows: Ttallan easualties, about 45,000; Austrian casualties (Italian estimate), 90,000; Aus- trian prisoners in Italy, 25,000; Italian prisoners in Austria, 1,20, While Austrfan troops have made no advance on Itallan sofl, yet some of their alr raids have been notable over the great art citles of northern Italy—Venice, on the Adriatic, and Verona inland—where heavy loss of life and considerable dam- age have occurred with the endangering of the priceless art treasures of these citles.
