of Italy from one OF the sources OF
supply OF manufactured products. II
is not necessary here 10 enlarge upon
the well known fact that italian mar
kets were largely under the domination
of Germany and Austria. That is a
situation that is as well known to
Americans as II IL and was dIstasteful
to Italians. And II might be said In
passing that 1t is a situation that must
be guarded against by allied co-opera-
ton and sympathetic economic rela-
tionship when peace comes.
Mr.. Francis ii. Sisson, vice presi-
dent of the Guaranty Trust Company,
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 foodstuffs. That writer also points
out that II was the adjustment Of her
industrial and commercial life TO the
burdensome new conditions that has
created an entirely new economic fab
ric In Italy.
'Ttaly's devotion OF her resources to
war purposes has been complete" says
Mr.. SIsson. "Her pre-eminence IN the
production of certain articles Of com.
merce marked her as the chief source
OF supply for similar products OF q
warllke nature. Her ordinary produce
ton of automobiles, aeroplanes, tur-
kfr1 hAn <.fl <wfw.
Iy been intensified and modified In the
direction of such standardization al
would permit quantity production"
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 we're 1885,, 100000. Cal
culating on the basis of a monthly aver
age expendituref for the war OF S24O,OO0,-
600, the total cost Of the war to Italy
would be more than S12,0OO,OOOO00
further proof Of the financial ef-
fort Italy made for the war, notwith-
standing her small means, are the 1--WE
national loans. The first one yielded
about s2O0s000,000, and It seemed a
great struggle, yet still others were
launched. all giving greater returns,
and the last one, after the disaster
OF October, 1917. yielded about ST.
300,OO0.0O0.
II must be remembered, too, that
labor shortage has meant food short
age. 1t has established a vicious cir
Gle. Our fighters and Industrial work
ers have accomplished their work
while forced to endure a regime Of
restricted diet that has meant real and
continuous suffering such as probably
is not to be found anywhere among
the other belligerent peoples.

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 36.000.000
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 modified
forces has had an acute reaction on
the economic life OF the nation. II is
estimated that on an average only 100
adults remained 10 each town or VIII
lage to provide In each case for some
800 children below the age OF fifteen.
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 II has been utilized to the ut
most and Is becoming more available
as old traditions give way to wars me-
cesslty.
No Troops From Colonies.
Italy got no help from colonial con-
tingents. 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
through the cooperation of workmen
of neutral or allied countries. Italy.
on the other hand. sent a large con-
tingent Of skilled workmen to France.

information.
The blood and treasure of Italy were
freely spent In the successful effort to
put Austria 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 oil 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.
In considering Italy's military con-
tributions, 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 afield.
They contributed largely to the glori-
Gus victory on the Balkan front. A
large contingent in France first gave
powerful aid in the defense of Rheims,
then took part In 1.-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
100000 men and has suffered loss
OF almost 1900, 900 of them. OF that loss
nearly $4,000 died In battle, and 100,-
600 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 4.O25.000. including
the class of men born in 1909, who
have been called to the colors recent
ly. It may be said, then, that the ma
tion's man-power has suffered 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 1t 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, Italy's SOL
diers have fought through fifteen fu-
rious offensives on the Isonzo and the
Piave, infiictIng terrible losses on the
foe In each. These campaigns were
carried on in mountainous regions and
under rigorous weather conditions that
taxed to the utmost the genius OF the
military engineers and the endurance
of the troops. The foe. when hostilI-
ties opened, were entrenched in care
fully prepared and seemingly imDreg-
nable positions, backed by a network
of military roads and railroads. On
the Italian side were deep gorges. un-
scaIable cliffs. almost impossible gla-
ciers. passes hIle6 with snow and com,
manded by Austrian guns. There we're
no suitable roads or bridges. The CUR
