Italy's Army a Million

Italy's total army war strength is
roughly estimated at 1920, 900 men, but
of these about 1000 900 comprise what
is known as the territorial militia,
which is practically unframed. There
are twelve army corps, each district
except Rome having two infantry di-
visions. Rome has three. Recently
the corps on the Austrian frontier
have been greatly strengthened, and
the others, since the beginning of hos
tilities in Europe, have been mobi-
lizing to their full war strength.
The organization of Italy'e perma-
nent army includes ninety-six regl-
ments of line infantry, twelve regl-
ments of aglieri and eight Alpine
regiments, in all 1863 battallons. There
are twenty-nine regiments of cavalry
and thirty-six of field artillery. The
army also has regiment of horse ar
tillery, two regiments of mountain
artillery, ten regiments of coast artil-
lery, two fortress artillery and six
regiments of engineers. A large bat
talon of aviators has been organized
in the last few days for use in war.
The general staff of the Italian
army and the ministry of war,
though separate, are both directly I'M
der the king. He has as his advisory
body the supreme defense commits
sion and the army counsel. This sys-
tenn was introduced in 1910 with the
new organization of the army by
General Springardi, who was then
minister of war.
Under this method of organization
Italy can count on approximately l.,
100000 trained men. Until mobiliZa-
ton was ordered these were divided
about as follows: With the colors,
$50 900 officers and men; on unlimited
furlough, 100000 men, and in the mo-
bile militia, $4,000 men.
1t was said after the Italo Turkish
War for the occupati pn Of Tripoli
and Cyrenaica that the efficiency of
the Italian army had been greatly i'm
paired. Sensational charges were
made about the alleged inefficiency
of the military forces. At that time
General Porro refused to accept the
post of minister of war unless in
creases in military expenditures be
authorized, and Lieutenant-G General
Grandi assumed command. The
Italian army originally grew out of
the old Piedmontese army with which
the unification of Italy was accom-
plished. That army after many hard
fought battles with Austria united
the whole peninsula under Victor
Emanuel II.
italy also has a fairly large navy.
1t comprises about nineteen battle
ships, ten armored cruisers, thirteen
protected cruisers. seventy-seven tor
pedo boats, about thirty torpedo boat
destroyers and about twenty sub
marines. Incidentally, Italy was the
first Mediterranean power to begin
the construction OF battleships of the
dreadnought type.

HIINTERDoN A BaTTLEFTELD.

There is one section in the United States where
the European war has interest or is held to be
entirely secondary to the local political campaign,
and that place is Hunterdon County New Jersey,
which is ablaze with the annual battle of the
Pirates and the Holy Rollers"
These Democratic factions in mortal enmity,
The age-long feuds of the Balkans and the race
hatreds of Eastern Europe nothing compared with
the anmosities of the Pirates and Holy Rollers.
One must search the sanguinary pages of history to
find parallel
What the animus is and why the Hunterdon
Democracy has thus divided itself questions
beyond the ken of the world outside of Hunterdon
County. Nor the puzzled visitor after investiga-
ton find He only that it is in the air and
that every he meets is either Pirate or Holy
Roller or a sympathizer with the other.
But fact he discovers. The strife is all
political and relates to the offices. This year
sheriff is to be nominated likewise surrogate, like
wise freeholder and last but not least an Assembly
man. To the Hunterdon mind these prizes of Office
of higher value than the spoils of mere wars of
empires in Europe, and II the county is convulsed
by the fierce struggle going who shall wonder
that the Pirates and the Holy Rollers in death
