ITALY and RUSSIA
on LAST LEGS, TOO?

BY crushing Italy, Germany
could establish a submarine base
at the southern toe of Italy, which
would be one of the most effective
points for the operation of under
sea boats in southern Europe.
Russia's food situation is no
better than that of Italy. Russia
is able to produce, but her trans
portation facilities are inadequate.
If Russia's man power could
be utilized, the war would soon be
ended, in the opinion of war de-
partment officials. Owing to
poor Transportation facilities,
shortage of arms and equipment,
about 100000 Russians other
wise available for military pur-
poses are practically useless as
fighting men.
