Italy Plays Actiue
Part With Allies
Thomas Nelson Page Corrects
Erroneous Impression Exist
ing in This Country.

NEW YORK, July o-Thomas Nelson
Page. American ambassador to Italy,
who sailed on the steamer st. Paul
yesterday TO return TO his post, said,
upon his departure. to an Associated
Press representative:
IN reply to your question, which in
dicates what have so often remarked,
tho want OF general information in
America as to the part which italy
mas taken In the struggle on the side
OF the allies. would say that nothing
has surprised me more than tile Idea
10 which YOU refer that Italy has taken
less active part than the other mem
bers OF this alliance In the serious
operations OF tile war.
IL Is not for me to discuss either
inc policies Or the parts that different
members OF the alliances on either
sue nave played in this terrible con-
test but certainly I can correct an
Impression as erroneous as that which
hnd quite general In this country as
10 the point you mention, for the facts
arc no secret among those who. have
had opportunities for knowing them.
may not give my own opinion on
policies, but 1t Is certain that the italian
statesmen felt that the vital interest Of
Italy demanded that she should at
whatever cost OF blood and treasure
take her stand with the allies, and
that on this depended, not only her
present. but her future. 1t is also tho
ttrlA
portunity for observation, that no coun-
Try mas put forth greater efforts in
proportion to her strength than Ita1y.
OF mas met the losses and borne the
surcrings which the war has caused
with greater fortitude.
"A glance at the map, and even
NIUE knowledge OF the history Of the
'e'a''ohS between Italy and her chief
opponent snow any one the extraor-
binary difficulties which Italy had to
Surmont 10 make any--eyen the least
advance in the mountain region in
which Austria fixed the boundaries he
tween them when she turned Venice
over TO France, after tho battle OF
Sadowa. No more difficult region to
penetrate exists than along the front
on which the war has RACED since IT'S
beginning. In this rcgioon OF mountain
peaks and nrccipiccs. fortified to the
last point of military science and skin
by Austria, the hGhting has been as
continuous on both sides, and on both
sides has been conducted with as great
vaior and persistence az at any other
place on any frontier, hardly excepting
Verdun' though more troops have been
masseA there"
