CURRENT THINKING
WAR ROAD TO TRIESTE

The way between Grade and Tri-
este lies through a remarkable coun-
try. says National Geographic war
PRIMER which describes the strange
path before the invading Italians to
the richest Austrian seaport. Many
chapters of the little known but
fascinating history are associated
with this coastal strip at the head
CT the Adriatic, and its legendary lore
is as rich as that Of Granada. Wealthy
Romans built their villas along this
way during the days Of the empire
and to this region many wars have
sent eddies, whose memories have
dimmed to forgetflullness beside the
struggles fought on other fields.
In peace times a small steamer

the way rises steadily to Nebresinai
the way rises steadily ito Nabresina'
and from Nabresina falls as steadily
"a the plain Of Trieste. In the up
lands the viaducts wind in giant
coils over the ragged slopes and on
every hand are panoramic pictures
common to broken country.
The climate is dangerously south
ern. The gray limestone breaks thro-
ugh the vegetation in great masses
and the way is literally sprnkled with
stone quarries, whose numerous pits
and galleries pierce deep into the
rocks and whose enormous debris
piles accentuate the pockmarks Of the
hills. This torn land lies Immediate
ly before the advancing Italians.
water-worn holes in the porous
rock and mysterious grottos and
mouths to the underworld, character
istIc Of the Istrian region, are found
here Added to the difficulties Of the
way are many funnel-shaped depres-
sions. which occur in the midst OF
the regular slopes. often several
hundred feet across and zoo feet deep
There Is a wonderful maze Of narrow
abysses, hollows, pits. caves, grottos
and quarries worked from ancient
times scattered over this path from

The little state has an area of 80

highest elevation in the republic, that

south of this precipitous rock and Is
sheltered under the defenses of the
mountain. whose three SUBMITS are

The town of San Marino, which

1000 people, 1t contains the repub-
