As naval naval policemen of the western Mediterranean, the Adriatic and the Aegean, Italy's fleet in the main has proved a success, it is as sered. Italian gunners, who before the war were ridiculed by the enemy, apparently are now res pected by the Aushians. Frequent reports of the destruction of Austria's ships of cargo triclde out from authoritative sources. Austrian com merce at this moment is declared to be practically at a stand still.
 Italian submarines frequently steal into hostile waters with favorable re- suits. One recently penetrated into the very harbor of Trieste and sank an enemy transport. The loss of life among the Austrians is reported to have been very heavy. All Italy, aE ways mindful of the "umedeemed lands" wildly applauded the exploit.
 Rumors of italy's ncU submafne

orc Whispered here. An undersca boat of new pattern is said to be now in use. The Austrians are rumored to be terrorized by its effective uniqueness. Some spectators trace back the mysterious craft to an ex- perimental undersed boat tried out by the government before the war. This was the invention of Robiola and to a certain extent resembled the Spider submarine" of Henry Ford's later imagination. It was a one-man craft cheaply constructed and easily man. aged. High speed, smallhess of size and lightness were it's chief points of value. Special devices sought to provide for the constant safety of the operator.
 Airships naturally are now an im- portant adjunct of Italy's fleet. They are employed principally to scout and spy out hostile submarines arl war craft They are particularly tho eyes

Fear of naval spies greatly disturb the seaside people. As result, several Americans lately have had some embarrassing moments. They have been arrested as "suspici- Ous characters" but shortly released. Anderson Polk, a lumber salesman of Baltimore and New York was detain- ed and examined while on a business trip to the wooded hills behind Naples.

them from the Albanian coast to Sardinia and AIgicrs. The transpor- tatiou was fraugbt with the greatest danger. Austrian submarines con tinually attempted the destruction of the rcscuiug warships. The Italians afterward were called on to carry thousands of Serbian soldiers through the dangerous waters between Corfu and Salouika. These achievements greatly strengthened the English and French armies. preparing an offensive against the BuIgarians and their allies.
 Months ago the Duke of Abruzzi was reported to have invited the Austrian admiral by wireless to come out and fight. The alleged invitation has never fully been accepted, it is said. The main fleet of Austria stin is bottled up at Pola. The movements of the Italian fleet generally are kept secret for tactical reasons. But minor engagements, in which the Italians have given good account of them selves, admittedly have occurred. Durazzo waters were where many of these fights were staged
 However, the Austrians, it has been discovered have a ready shelter along their DaImatian coast in any naval The DaImatin shore has countless hiding places whose en- frances are cunningly mined against the enemy.

ITALIAN NAVY

 (United Press Staff Correspondent)
 ROME, August 1.-In the plan of the allied war the Italian navy has taken a quietly energetic but powerful part
 At Italy's plunge into the European strife she was assigned the naval task of patrolling the Mediterranean, the Adriatic and Aegean seas. The do struction of Austrian commerce, the protection of allied territory and the working of damage to the enemy squadrons and soil were her specific Commissions.
 Tn direction of the operations, look ing toward these ends, was put into the hands of Duke Luigi of the Abuz- zi Like Cadona's, his first act was the expulsion of politics from his or ganizatiou. The process made him some enemies, but it won his country really effective arm of war.
 Duke Luigi had a fair naval found ation for the inauguration of ItaIy'S war at sea. The latest official statis- tics of the Italian navy show its foot ing in times of peace, more than two years ago. The types then listed in. cluded 2S first class battleships, 3. second class, 9 third class, 4 fourth class, 9 fifth class and sixth class. The destroyers numbered 4l and the high seas torpedo boats 2S, while there were A first class torpedo boats, l4 second class and third class. Twenty-two submarines com pleted the HoulIa.
 The entire fleet was manned by 2, 7I6 officers, 5,4l7 petty officers and 73.7j4 men. However, material in- creases, speeded and augmented by the war. have since been made in ! every department, it is reliably known. The first class batteships. ! the torpedo boat squadron and the submarines especially have been strengthened The addition to the first are said to number almost & dozen, including the magnificent Dante, Cavour and Julius Ceasar.
 The AmaIf, a first class cruiser, :. was torpedoed during the first days of the war. The second class cruiser Garibaldi suffered a similar fate. Then the Benedetto Bruiu, an old first class cruiser, was wrecked by an al- ! legged internal explosion The sub marine Medusa tell victim to the enemy later.
 The Ancona and several other Italian freighter and passengercar- ryng ships have been destroyed. A I. transport very recently was sent to . the bottom by a shot from a hostile submarine. All these blows from the Austrians, generally resulting in heavy losses Of life, spurred the Italian fleet into retaliatory action.
