LONDON, Sept. 18.-The basis

The Italian navy is maSSed on
either side of the long peninsula
that lies between the Tyrrnenean
and Adriatic Seas and stretches
down toward Africa.
On the African and European
coasts, soldiers. airplanes, heavy
artillery, are taking their position
Because the Mediterranean is
narrow and is bounded by three
continents. any big scale warfare
would involve engines of deStruc-
ton which never have been COM
bined. Thick fleets of airplanes, big
guns of coastal artillery, cruisers
that can move at more than 40 miles
