SLOW PREP ARATION
ITALY'S WORST FOE
Failure to Begin Development of Of
Tense Not Encouraging Ally
Fails to Show Strength.
NO ATTEMPT TO ADVANCE
Remain in Austrian Territory Where
They Penetrated Several Days After
Entrance Into Struggle.
BY j. w. II. MASON.

New York, June 10.-Delays in mo-
bilizatiOn continue to be the reason
why the Italian offensive toward
Trieste remains checked along the
Isonzo river. For nearly two weeks,
the Italians have remained quiescent
in their present positions.
During the first days of the war
they penetrated between seven and
ten days into Austrian territory,
north of the gulf of Trieste, but since
then no further advance has been
attempted. Ammunition cannot yet
have given out and the only remain
ing reason for the curious condition
of affairs is that the organization for
sending men to the front is develop
ing imperfections.
Development Differs.
The present development of the
Trieste campaign differs, in outward
appearance, from the stoppage of the
German offensive last August, along
the Mouse river in Belgium. The Bel
gian check began when the Germans
reached Liege on August 4, and con-
tinued until the. Allies evacuated
Namur, on August %. The halt was
caused primarily by the active OPP
position of the Allies, which circum-
stances marks the difference between
the early developments of the Ger
man and Italian offensives. -.
Before Serious Encounter.
Below the surface, however, an es-
sential similarity exists as to the
causes of the Mouse check and the
Isonzo halt. The German mobiliza-
ton was not sufficiently advanced
until the third week after the war
began to permit that overwhelming
ush which carried the kaiser
troops almost to Paris.
The Italian halt has occurred be-
A0S " 3&A&4 oNA AOUo CASOuALC1 Will LAC
enemy has been fought. This fact
suggests the Italian mobilization is
far behind the standard of celebrity
fixed by, the Germans last August.
The Germans were able to throw in
to Belgium a force sufficient to main
tain a continuous vanguard action
until the major mass Of the German
troops was ready to strike. Italy
has not succeeded in approaching
this record in any way.
Italy's failure, in the third week
of her entrance into the war, to be-
gin the development of even a minor
offensive is not encouraging to those
who believed large military capacity
would be shown by the Italian gen.
eral staff. Lack of capacity for or
ganization may be Italy's worst foe
in the days that are ahead.
