Minister, NJ. Ribot, had a most favor
able effect on sentiment in the stock

you will notice how far outward from

area is an ideal one for submarine
warfare and interesting developments
in that neighborhood may be expected.
The electrical Industries of italy
rank high. Thanks to Marconi, the
Italian battieships are the first to
have an efficient system of wireless
telephones. The s%earchlight is invalu-
able In the field, and this means a form
Of mobile apparatus and portable
dynamos, The Italian plants are quite
capable Of meeting all requirements
in this particular.
II IL n notable fact that in we'll nigh
all of the Italian steel and iron plants
provision has been made 10 utilize the
Stag for the manufacture OF cement
and to reclaim by-products in the form
OF ammonia and sulphurlc acid.
Cement has been demonstrated to be
well nigh Indispensable in military
operations where the trenches n
other field work hay a semi perma-
nent character. The Italians will he
able to draw upon their own
for his material with the assurance OF
having enough of it to meet their
needs, Sulphurlc acid has its part to
play in the making of smokeless
powder and other explosives which are
required in the conduct Of war.
Besides steel plants, of which Italy
can boast many, she has establish
ments that turn out wire rope. wire
netting. barbed wire fencing, &C.
These have many uses In both the
army and the navy
The railroads of Germany and Aus
tria have played an important part In
the present war. The Italians build
very fine locomotives and other roll
ing stock. and the native steel plants
are capable of turning out large quanti-
ties OF st"el rails. Therefore. the king
dom is in n position to meet the mill
tary needs in this direction,
1t must be remembered that in the
field of military aviation the Italians
were the first to put the diriyible and

even she made much Of the hardships

she provided herself In advance with
