been adopted When the war broke out
not all the new guns had been supplied
from abroad and II was found impossible
TO equip the twenty-four regiments of ar
tillery with the required number OF guns.
This has now been remedied by reducing
the number Of guns in each battery from
four 10 three, so that each regiment in
stead ~ having eight batteries, with n
total OF thirty-two guns. now has twenty
four. The number OF horses required for
each battery has accordingly been reduced
to thirty-slx.
Mechanical traction in military trans
ports has successfully been introduced on
a large scale and the deficiency In horses
Ia thus made up. In case OF war all the
private motor cars are requisltioned. A
complete list OF all these cars III ready so
that within twenty-four hours they can
be In use. Another important problem In
connection with general mobilization
was that OF equipment The army stores

or course Italian democrats side with
France, especially the Republicans. The
Radicals, the Reformed Socialists and the
Anti-Clericals are decidedly in favor OF
France and England. The Conservatives
and Nationalists insist that Italy should
join the Triple Entente in order 10 gain
Trent and Trieste
The official Socialists are opposed to
war in general. They say II consists in
sacrificing the proletariat and hence ad-
vocate neutrality Despite the fact that
the Socialist party in Italy is we'll organ
ICED and disciplined. still the attitude
assumed by the leaders Is disapproved by
the great majority, and the anti-neutral-
ity agitation based on patriotism, since It
implies the acquisition Of Trent and
Trieste, Is so widespread that the opposi-
ton Of the Socialists is not OF much ac-
count. In fact the Socialists are being
called unpa triotic.
But there is another agument against
neutrality. by remaining neutral rcsly
when the war Is over can claim no com
pensation. and probably she will never
gain Trent and Trieste. II Is to her in
terest that the Slavs should not become
masters Of the Adriatic. II seems inev-

and that the Servians should acquire n
permanent foothold In the Adriatic. IL
