A Summers Job.

Now, writing on Tuesday, August 10,
it is not vet clear whether the Italians
have actually got all the way through the
Gorilla gatewaY-that s,to the end Of the
vestibule-or the Austrians have been able
to rally behind a second line, still resting
upon the mountains and the sea, before
which the Italians will have to halt and
begin all over again. We can safely con-
clude that such position will not be near
ly as strong as the Gorilla line, bu. 1t may
be strong enough to compel the Italians
to wait until their heavy artillery gets up
and then begin a new blasting operation.
Such delay will enable the Austrians
to construct a second and third line, and
it may be a summers job still for the
Italians to get all the way through this
gateway and into the wider space to the
east, where the sea falls away from the
mountains. Everything that one can now
see suggests this, although the Italians are
pressing on and are already half dozen
miles east of Gorilla. This is the old
story of trench war; this is the story of
Verdun, where the Germans broke through
the first French line and ultimately the
second, but did not actually pierce all the
French lines, and where they had presently
to halt before the new lines that the
French constructed behind the broken
line.
We can see now that if the Italians can
keep on for ten or at most twenty miles
due east they will be beyond the Gorilla
Thermopyle, and if they are able to get
south as we'll as east twenty miles they
will have Trieste, for they are only twenty
miles from it now. But twenty miles is
a very big advance in trench war, and
neither the French nor the Germans have
made such a gain since the beginning of
the war of trenches in the west. 1t is a
matter of life and death for the Austrans
to hold up the Italian advance, for if it

by another very serious difficulty. When
the treaty of 1866 gave Italy her present
frontiers it left to Austria the complete
possession Of that Trentine district which
projects like peninsula deep into Italian
territory and almost embraces the whole
of Venetia. In the centre of this Trentine
peninsula, to continue the figure, is the
valley of the Adige River, down which
comes a great trunk railroad, crossing the
Bremen Pass to the north of Botzen and
entering Italian territory little north OF
the city of Verona.
This is the historic route by which
Northern invaders have again and again
descended into Italy, and Austria retained
this route, with the Italian speaking dis
tricts about the city Of Trent, solely Tor
the purpose of being able, in case OF war
with Italy, to pour her troops down THIS
funnel. She had guarded 1t with 1orVs
and had rendered it actually one fortress
projecting into Italy.

ing away off along the Isonzo in front OF
Gorilla. About June 1 the Italian outlook
was frankly gloomy, and an Italian minis
try fell as result of the failure OF the
Italian troops to hold back the storm.
Conceivably the Austrians might have
got all the way down into the Italian
plain if they had been permitted to 60 on
unmolested at any other point, but on June
| Russia began her tremendous drive
against the eastern lines, that Austria had
thinned to get the men to attack Italy.
When these lines collapsed, as uney prompt
" did, there was nothing for Austria to
do but call back her troops from the ltal-
ian field and set them to work stopping the
Russian flood. Her own back door, the road
over the Carpathians, was now in danger,
and she had to desist from her efforts to
force the rear entrance to Italy.
Saved from a real peril, the first task
for Italy was plainly to stop up the roads
by which the Austrians had come almost to
the Italian plain, win back the hills and
trenches that the Austrans had taken and
obtain positions which would enable her
to make new effort to seal up this Tren-
tine entrance to her own house. And all
through June and July this was what
Italy was doing, and we had steady re-
ports of the recoil Of the Austrians and
the slow but sure advance of Italy up the
Adige and Brenta valleys and over the
passes between the two valleys, by which

Through the Back Door.

Meantime Austria had got most of her
troops back from the Balkans, and winter,
by paralyzing Russia, permitted her tenn
norarily to withdraw troops from the
eastern front as Germany was withdraw
inc them for her Verdun operation. By
this means Austria collected a powerful
army in the Trentine region, furnished it
with vast masses of heavy artillery and,
little after Germany began her attack
upon Verdun, Austria attempted to blast
her way through the barricades Italy had
thrown up at her own back door and thus
get down into the Italian plain.
And for two months the Austrians were
very successful. They drove the Italians
down the Adige and Brenta valleys and,
coming over the higher passes between
them. began to sift into Italian territory
and to get to the last foothills of the
mountains, within sight of Vicenza and
the railroads and roads which were vital
to the existence of the Italian armies hight

The Sudden Thrust.

But by the first week of August this
work must have been finished to Italian
satisfaction, for we had suddenly the out
break of a new and tremendous Italian
thrust straight through the Gorilla gate
way, which, thanks to the accumulation
Of ammunition and the acquisition of heavy
artillery, succeeded this time, and by Au-
gust Italian troops were in Gorilla and
Italy had redeemed" the first considera-
BILE town in her long lost Irredenta.
The actual operation was simple in the
extreme. First the Italians bombarded
the whole front from the Alps to the sea
for many hours, the usual prelude to an
offensive in trench war. Then they con-
centrated their fire on Sabotino and San
Michele, north and south Of Podgora and
of Gorilla. Finally they sent their infan-
try up the slopes of these hills, took the
Austrian trenches and some thousands of
prisoners and thus held both sides Of the
gate. They looked down on Gorilla and
their guns commanded the rear of Podgora
Hill and the bridges leading from Gorilla
across the Isonzo.
There was nothing for the Austrians TO
do, then, but get east as fast as they
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-08-20

could and attempt to hold new line from
the sea to the Alps if such line existed
and could be made good. For bear in
mind that while the Italians had taken
the Gorilla bridgehead and got inside the
Gorilla gateway they had not got all the
way through, and the narrow neck be-
tween the sea and the Alps continues east
and west for some miles. 1t was as if,
having forced the door, the Italians had
entered a long vestibule through which
they must pass before they could get to the
point where they could begin to use super
ior numbers.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-08-20
The Austrian Threat.

Just at the city Of Trent this route
divides into three, thus offering its pos
SCISSORS three different roads into the ltal-
ian plain. one coming down the shores OF
Lago di Garda, another coming straight
down the Adige Valley to Verona and
third coming round the Brenta Valley and
thus into the plain near the city OF VI
cenza.
Now look at the map and you will see
that if the Austrians coming down these
routes were able to overflow into Italian
territory but a few miles they would get
nossession of the only railroads that LEAD
from Italy eastward to the GoriAa gate
way and to Austria. Hence if Italy under
took to attack the Gorilla position before
she had closed the back door entrance into
her own house her armies going eastward
TO Gorilla would have their rail and road
communications cut off and would either
have to cut their way out and back south
of the Pc or else they would be captured.
And if Austria once cleared Venetia Of
Italian troops she could stand behind the
Pc and the Mincio, which comes out OF the
Lago di Garda, on that line famous in all
earlier wars as the Italian Quadrilateral
and taking its names from the four ancient
fortresses Verona, Peschiera, Legnano and
Mantua. She would then have the war
far in Italian territory, as Germany has
it in French territory.
Accordingly, when Italy did come into
the war her energies were first directed
to closing this back door entrance, and,

Italy's First Great Modern Victory.
AS it stands the Italians have won the
first great victory in their modern history.
Hitherto they have gained freedom and
then a reunited country through the aid
of other nations, of France first and then
of Prussia, while their own troops have
fought CALAMITY rather than successfully
and known defeats rather than victories.
In Italian history the August days that
saw the fall of Gorilla will be landmarks
and may very we'll stand for the completion
of that great work of restoring Italy
which was undertaken almost century
ago, on the very morning after the Con-
gress of Vienna had turned Italy over to
her ancient masters and denied her the
liberty she longed for.
By winning this victory Italy has made
notable contribution to the Allied cause.
She has taken $4,000 prisoners and she has
captured guns and material and inflicted
casualties many times greater upon Aus
tria at the moment when Austria was suf-
fering terrible reverses in another field
and needing all her reserves to man the
Carpathian lines and stop the Russian ad-
vance along the Dniester and toward the
Bug. If Italy is to be stopped it will re-
quire fresh troops, and the question may
be fairly raised whether Austria can long
find fresh troops to balance her terrible
losses, which in prisoners alone have
passed the 100000 mark in the last two
and half months.
And, too, the moral effect in Vienna and
Berlin of the Italian success cannot be-
exaggerated. Three months ago the Ger
man and Austrian papers in recounting
the successes of the Austrans along the
Trentine front were forecasting the col
lapse of Italy and the outbreak of a revolu-
ton resulting from popular discomfort and
establishment But such revolutions are
not the concomitants of victory, and while
the Austrian invasion has ended the ltal-
ian people are celebrating the first great
Italian victory of modern history in the
spirit that the French greeted-without
celebrating-their deliverance at the
Marine.

The Synchronized Attack.

Again, the Italian victory supplies one
more detail in the picture of a great, COM
bined and synchronized attack upon the
lines of the besieged Central Powers; it
comedies with new Russian victories; it
gives new encouragement to the enemies
of Germany, new strength to the Allies,
new promise of ultimate victory and even
early Austrian collapse.
1t may be several weeks before we shall
know whether the victory of Gorilla set
tied the fate of Trieste and opened the
road to a real invasion of Austria from
the west Despite the familiar phrases,
the modern thrust" moves terribly slow
ly and troops are "hurled" at snai's
pace. But the moral effect, as contrasted
with the military effect, is instantly APP
parent and can hardly be exaggerated.
Nor can one fail TO reckon its influence in
Bucharest, where Rumanian statesmen are
only waiting until the moment is ripe
for an attack upon Austria, or in Sofia,
where Bulgarian statesmen are daily
counting the costs Of their Teutonic al
lance with increasing anxiety.
Go back to last summer AID fall, when
the stream of victories Of the Central
Powers seemed inexhaustible and victory
followed victory with monotony, and then
the change in twelve months is unmistak-
able. The Italian victory has cut another
fragment from the war map of Beth
mann-Hollweg; it has added a new and
heavy burden to all the other burdens the
Hapsburg monarchy is carrying. IL is
not Waterloo, it is not Leipsic; but it may
prove to be another Baylen, which was
the first authentic sign Of the crumbling
of the Napoleonic prestige.
And the Italian victory should direct
attention once more to the Balkans, where
new storm is gathering At three OF the
four points the Allied offensive is now at
work. Italian and Russian victories are
steadily recalling Austrian and German
troops from the Balkan peninsula. Be
fore Salonica 100000 Allied troops are
ready and waiting. We may yet see the
most dramatic and important campaign Of
the year along the Vardar and not OF the
Somme. the Isonzo or even the Dniester.

because Austria was busy elsewhere, she
was able to send her troops up the shores
of Lago di Garda almost to Riva, up the
Adige Valley almost to Rovereto and up
the Brenta to Borgo. But she did not sue
coed in getting to Trent. Could she have
done this she would actually have put
cork in the neck of the Trentine bottle and
would have had no further worry about
her back door. She could then have turned
to the main business of forcing the Gorilla
gateway. She was stopped, however, by
the Austrian defences before and well
south of Trent.
Still, having barricaded the back door
as best she could, Italy turned to the lson-
20, to the Gorilla gateway, and began ham,
mering on it. But she made very little
progress. Her experience was exactly the
same as that of her allies who tried to
force the German lines in France. She,
too, still lacked the heavy artillery and the
ammunition.
Accordingly, having made little prog
ress, Italy was held up. She made des-
perate efforts at the time Russia was in
straits last September and again when
Austria was sending troops to the Balkans
to blast a way through Serbia to the
Golden Horn. But, despite terrible losses,
she could not get forward and she did not
prevent the destruction of Serbia. This
is the history of Italian effort to get
through the Gorilla gateway from the first
DAYS Of the war we'll into last winter.
