Mr.. Francis II. Sisson, vice presl.

in a recent article on the economic
situation Of Italy points out that while
Germany before the war dominated
the foreign trade of Italy so far as
manufactures were concerned, that
country was one Of the best customers
Of the United States in raw materials
and foodslulfs. That writer also points
out that it was the adjustment of her

Financially Italy Responded Well.
Financially Italy also has responded
to the demands of war with an open
handedness that has surprised even her
self. From the first Of August, 1914, to
the end of 1917 the total expenditures
of the state were $9,S95,G 100000. Cal
Culating on the basis of monthly aver,
age expenditure for thewar Of $240OOO
600, the total cost of the war to Italy
would be more than $12,0O0,O0000
A further proof of the financial eff.

national loans. The first one yielded
about $2000O0,00O, and it seemed q

Over $500 miles of roads have been
constructed on the mountains of Italy
and of Albania, and 1000 miles of
aerial cable railroads (Teefcriche)
have been built to carry food, ammu-

Economic Difficulties.
The magnitude of this military effort
can be fully appreciated only when one
takes into consideration the economic
structure of the nation and the nature
and number of its population. One
must remember that out of Sc 100000
inhabitants in Italy at the beginning
of the war only 100000 were male.
This seeming disprOportion is caused
by emigration, which was largely com
| posed of male adults. Out of those
| 100000 only 100000 were adults
economically productive. COnseQuent-
ly the subtraction of the mOblized

Furthermore, the traditions of Ital-
ian family life render the work Of their
women an economic factor of less i'm
portance than In some other countries,
though it has been utilized to the ut
most and Is becoming more available
as old traditions give way to wars ne.
cosslty.
No Troops From Colonies.
Italy got no help from colonial con.
tlngents. On the contrary, the scarcity
of native troops in Italy's colonies
compelled the government to reinforce
them with troops from the mother
country. Nor has help come TO Italy

in America gave to this great nation
direct contribution to her economic
and military efforts.
To meet their military obligations
therefore, the Italian people have beer

The blood and treasure of Italy we're
freely spent in the successful effort to
put Austsia-Hungary out of the war
While Italy's efforts were not confined
to the Austrian front, her contribution
to allied success was greater here than
in the other places where her troops
fought the battle for civilization. Her
financial and industrial efforts have
been equal to her military effort, and
In all these directions Italy has not
Jagged behind her allies. That the
nature and extent Of these efforts may
be better understood by the American
public wish to review them briefly
III considering Italy's military con-
tributiors, let me emphasize the fact
that her soldiers have not confined their
fighting to their own soil. Like those
of her allies they have gone far aticld.
They contributed largely to the gIori-
Gus victory on the Balkan front. A
large contingent in France first gave
powerful aid in the defense of Rheims,
then took part In the advance Of the
allied forces.
Italy Had $500 600 Under Arms.
Since the beginning of the war Italy
has called to the colors little less than
5,500000 men and has suffered q loss
of almost 100000 Of them. OF that loss
nearly $4,000 died in battle, and lOO,-
900 from disease Over $4,000 are
totally incapacitated, either by blind
ness, loss of limb or tuberculosis, At
the present moment the strength of
the Italian army Is 4025,000, including
the class OF men born in 1900, who
have been called to the colors recent
ly. 1t may be said, then, that the ma
tons man-power has suffered a per
manent loss of nearly a million.
But, serious as Is this loss, Italy has
inflicted an even greater punishment
upon the foe. In Austrian prisoners
alone she has taken approximately a
million. The Austrian loss in killed
and wounded Is, Of course, unknown
to us, but even the most conservative
estimates make II far greater than
ours. In the June offensive on the
Piave alone over 100000 Austrian dead
were left on the field.
Fighting Under Extreme Difficulties
Aside from their achievements in
other theatres of the war, Italys sol
0iers have fought through fifteen fu
rious oGtcnSives on the IsOnZo and the
Piave, inficting terrible losses on the
foe In each These campaigns were
