Rome.-While the general mobiliza-

men to the colors within a month,
1t is known that Italy will start the
war with about 100000 first line troops.
At the outbreak of the European war
the Italian army consisted of 100000
men, the classes with the colors being
those of 1891, 1892 and 1893. After
the war started two more classes, in

colors. Various other changes re-
Gently made under orders from Gen
eral Zupelli, the minister of war,
brought the strength up to 100000 at

1t is likely that the army will be
under the direct command of General
Caneva, who led the Italian forces in
the conquest of Tripoli, of Gen. Count
Cadorna, the chief of the general staff.
Italy's first move on land is likely
to be against the Austrian frontier
Large numbers Of her troops are mo-
bilized in this territory, and the
forces of Austria Hungary are lined
up on the other side of the boundary.
The very mountainous character of
the southern part of the Austrian Alps
promises fighting of the most difficult
nature. For several weeks past both
armies have been engaged in fortify-
