The blood and treasure Of Italy were
freely spent in the successful effort 10
put Austria Hungary out of the war.
While Italy's efforts were not confined
to the Austrian front, her contribution
: 20 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.
In considering ItaIy's military con-
tributions. let me emphasize the fact
that her soldiers have moi confined their
Rghting 10 their own soil. Like those
of her allies. they have gone far atieid.
They contributed largely 10 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 the advance Of the
allied forces.
italy Had 5,50oooG Under Arms.
Since the beginning of the war Italy
has called to the colorS little less than
5.JOOOOO men and has suffered loss
Of almost 100000 of them. OF that loss
nearly $4,000 died in battle, and 1O0.-
900 from disease. Over $4,000 are
totally lncapacitated, either by blind
ness loss Of limb or tuberculosis. Al
the present moment the strength OF
n the Italian army is 4.025, 600, including
THE class of men born in 1900, who
have been called to the colors recent
ly. II may be said, then. that the ma
tion's man-power has suffered q per
manent loss OF nearly a million.
But, serious as is this loss, Italy hai
inflicted an even greater punishment
upon the foe. In Austrian prisoner!
alone she has taken approximately
million. The Austrian loss in killet
and wounded is, Of course unknown
Z. US. but even the most conservative
estimates make it far greater thai
ours In the June offensive on tn

OF Italy from one of the sources OF
supply ot manufactured products. Ii
is rot necessary here TO enlarge upon
the Well known fact that Italian mar,
kets were largely under the domination
Of Germany and Austria. That is q
situation that is as we'll known to
Americans as it is ana was distasteful
to Italians. And ii might he said in
passing that it is a situation that mus
he guarded against by allied co-opera-
ton and sympathetic economic rela- |
tionship when peace comes
! Mr. Francis II. Sjsson, vice presi- !
1 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 it 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. y
''Italy's devotion Of her resources to
war purposes has been complete" says
I Mr.. SiSson. ~Her pre-eminence in the
production of certain articles OF com.

direction of such a standardization as
would permit quantity production"
Financially Italy Responded Well.
Financially Italy also has responded
, 10 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
