ITALY HAS MILLION
MEN In THE FIELD
Second One is in Reserve and Gov
ernment Is Preparing to Add
Another.
HOW TO FIGURE RoME's GAIN

Correspondence of The Associated Press
ROME, Nov. 23.-Italy now has
100000 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
Gorilla in the east. Another million
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 frontier.
The Alps sweep in a great semi-circle
from the French frontier on the Mediter-
ranean to the Austrian 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 1t 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 region in the
west and then in the Triest region of the
upper Adriatic Thus the natural bound
airy OF the Alps is 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 1866
The first object therefore OF Italy's
campaign is to get back the two provinces
which dent the natural frontier of the
Alps, thus regaining former italian terri
tory and re-establishing the great noun
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
object Between 100000 and 10000 men
are engaged in the western operations
centered at Trent. and about 800 900 men
in the eastern operations directed toward
Triest
These two objectives are two separate
campaigns, Both, however. are under the
direction of General Cadorna, COM
mander-in-chief.
Main Italian Drive.
The main italian drive has been in the
eastern section. toward Triest. the great
Austrian post OF the Adriatic lying just
across from Venice This rich prize is
hardly more than ten days march from
the Italian frontier. And yet the war
has been going on for six months-since
May 2s-and the Italian army is nowhere
near Triest.

"SPEAR HEAD"
AN Old Time
FAVORITE
The Most Popular Chew for a
Third of a Century
PURE. RICH. FRUITY- SWEET

The man who chews gets by far the
most wholesome enjoyment and satis-
faction out of tobacco, especially if he
ehews plas tobacco. The rich juices
of the leaf are retained in good plugs
better than in any other form.
For more than a generation Spear
Head has held first place as the favor
ite high-grade plug chewing tobacco.
This unique distinction is due solely
TO the wonderful quality and flavor of
Spear Head-the richest, meliowest,
fastest chew in the whole world.
Spear Head is the choicest of all
red Burley, hand-stemmed and made in
to mellow-sweet plugs in a perfectly
clean. most sanitary factory.
You can't chew the flavor out of
Spear Head, because it's a part of the
tobacco. That rich, ripe red Burley
taste keeps on pleasing you as long
as you keep on chewing.
Chew Spear Head and you'll be
chewing the purest and most satisfying
tobacco that its possible to make. In

around back of Triest with Austrian bat
teries 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 campaign which has been
going on during the last six months with
it's maze of geographical names, all these
being small accessories in the vast
natural defenses. and necessary to be con-
quered before Triest itself 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.
Satisfied with Progress.
The Italian commanders express salts
faction with the progress made in the
last six months. All the fighting has
been on Austrian 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 Italians and from Grado
the lights of Triest can be seen at night
across the Adriatic. Further north, In
the mountain country. the PLAYA Pass
has been won, although at the cost OF
whole regiments cut to pieces and a
chain of mountain tops, villages and sta
tions has been established encircling Cor
izia. But Gorilla itself still holds out
through its natural mountain defenses
and its railway 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. further 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 Trenton Alps. making
1t vast stretch OF gorges and peaks.
1t is called the Tyrolean country, all
though the real Tyrol is further north

President Wilson, Governor Fielder
and other prominent Democratic office
holders, have had the hearty support of
Charles R. Bacon, New Jersey editor of
the Philadelphia Record, and in his
weekly letter, Bacon has praised the
Democrats highly. He held the Office of
Oyster Commissioner until the last
Legislature passed the economy and
efficiency bills which put the Office
under new bureau and left
Bacon out in the cold. He tried to
be reappointed by the new Board but
they thought they wanted another man
and they named George A. Mott, of
Tuckerton. Now the old Commissioners
of Shell Fisheries think the new law is
Unconstitutional and will attempt to
have it set aside. The members of the
new department think Bacon is back OF
the movement. The Atlantic City Press
is responsible for story on the matter,
which, if true, makes it pretty tough on
the man who has stuck to the Democrats
through "thick and thin," regardless Of
the fact that he received his first appoint
ment to the Office from a Republican
Governor and was continued by a chic
Executive of the same faith. The Pres
