Naval Operations In the Adriatic,

The Italian navy seems to be nib.
bling Mt the Austrian base of Pola.
Destroyers have braved the mine ZONE
and discharged torpedoes Intellectually
ut warships In the Fasana.Pola canal.
Reconnaissance by these gadhies of
the sea are now frequent. At Du.
razzo, on the Albanian coast, Italian
destroyers sank n large Austrian
steamship several nights ago and
drove back an Austrian flotilla that
made n sally. Minor operations of
such Il character If undertaken by
the British or Germans in the North
Sea would indicate preparations for
II real test Of sea power.
When Italy declared war 1t was
expected that she would make vigor-
Gus use of her naval superiority In
the Adriatic, but after more than a
year Of hOstllities the losses Of the
ancient enemies have been insignifi-
cant. Italy has had the worst of It,
the Austrians displaying greater inlti-
alive and daring. But Italy has had
some bad luck. In laramie harbor
the dreadnought battleship Leonardo
da Vinci, 22.34O tons, caught fire and
blew up in August Of this year. The
second class battleship Benedetto
Brin sank from an internal explosion
on September o, 1915. Two armored
cruisers. the Garibaldi, 7,234 tons.
and the Amalfi. 0.05S tons, were tor
pedoed by the Austrlans in July, 1915.
Four destroyers, four submarines, tive
torpedo boats and an auxiliary crui-
ser, the Citta di Messlna, of 3,495
tons, have been sunk by the enemy.
Austria has lost three small crul-
sers, the Zenta, Kaiserin Elizabeth
and one of the Novara type. respec-
lively Of 1904, 1887 and 1884 tons;
six submarines, II gunbont, two de-
stroyers, two transports loaded with
munitions In Durazzo roads, and two
or three small auxiliarics; but the
French accounted for the cruiser
Zenta and three Of the submarines.
One OF the Austrian submarines, the
us, was bombed and sent to the
bottom by a French aeroplane.
These losses of the Italian and Aus
TRAN navies will appear triting when

| viewed. Thus at the outbreak of war
