ROME, July 1. (By mail.) Italy toduy is fully satisfied with the re sults of tho first year of the Austro Jtallan war. The once utrongly fortified Aus trian mountain line from Giudicarie to ronfalfione practically is all in hot hands. Only a small soetion of Ital U;n territory in the neii,'hhorhood of Sotte Commiini has been taken. The history of Italy's war on iand reads like fiction. When the Eu ropean strife began, the Italian king dom was unprepared. The standing army of 280,000 was disorganized and unequipped. Big and petty poli tics were dangerously mixed In it. The country's finances were in a had way. Italy's military house had to be put In order. All eyes turned to Luigt Cadorna, chief ot tho general staff. His father before, him had led the Italians into Rome in 1870. Like him, he la a quiet liian of few words and big deeds. Cadorna In 1 2 months worked wonders. The army was Increased to more than 1,500,000, trained and equipped for all kinds of warfare. The huhi of munition and giin-nmkine: machinery was heard through the land. The enemy, it was believed, would attempt to enter tho country through the Trentino in the west and the Isonzo In the east. The Tallan cam paign was planned to retake Trent and Trieste, lock these two gates against invasion and prof's on pos sibly to Vienna. The meeting of two Austrian armies on the historic plains of Lombard y for a possible conquest of Italy had '( le prevent ed. The great battle Napoleon had fought on Lombardian soil had taught its lessons. Cadorna and his intimate associ ate, General Porro, laid their pre liminary plans well. Both knew the tricky mountainous frontier of Aus tria, with its natural defenses and fortifications, perfectly. Di'sgnlsejl as beggars, they are said often to have studied every nook and cranny of (ho hostile border. Four fronts with 14 zones were established, the Trentino, Dolmlte, Carnia and Isonzo. At the very be ginning of hostilities tho right bank of the Isonzo, excepting the bridge heads of Gorizla and Tolmie, fell be fore the Italian arms followed by the capture of Monte Xero and Plava. These things took less than a month. during July and August the in vasion of Austrian territory continu ed. Extensive inroads on enemy soil wero made, especially in the Carso nd Trentino. By October the Ison zo front was blood-soaked. The fighting about Gorizia, the key to Trieste, grew heavy early this year. March and April crowned the Italian offensive with tho capture of Coldi Lana. The Austrian in May de livered their first big offensive. A fierce onslaught was made on Mon falcone which fell, but later was re taken. ' Meanwhile on a 50-mfle front, in (lie Trentino -100,000 Austrians nnd Immense quantities of ammunition were concent rated. Then en mo the tremendous attempt to open the way to Venetia. Thousands of Italians wero mowed down. For the first time in the war the enemy set foot 'in Italian soil and about 500 square kilometers of territory was occupied. H was mountainous country (bitted with Alpine hamlets. The Italians rtll! held about 4.000 gtimire kilo meters of enemy soil, including tho fertllse plaint of JVlonfalorne nnd h it'ortunt villages. The Italians then began to push IukV the enemy, slow up-hill work.

The Italian campaign has taken a tremendous toll in dead and wounded because in the beginning Victor's forces were deposed in un fortified valleys while the Austrians were strongly entrenched on tho overlooking mountains. Uphill fight ing had to be waged for many months before it was equalized. The Alpinists have been the heroes of Italy's war. Their eatlike agility is marvelous. They have been forc ed oftentimes to climb sheer wallb of mountains .pulling up men and cannon behind them to begin the alow process of fortification. Trenches had to be tunneled In the 'rock or hewn in solid CR- Gloving glaciers, and -avalanches added to the dangers as also did heavy snows and hitter cold. Alpine warfare developed many innovations in military science. Like giants throwintr i1" ""owhalls. one army hurled avalanches at each other. Mountain hamlets and hundreds of combatants and non-cnn$atants were wiped out by this picturesquo arm of war. Specially made smoked glasses had to he worn hy the soldiers as a protection against snow-blindness. Freezing weather occasioned the in vention of extremely warm but light clothing for the military. "Heat Halls' were invented. These were made by soak Hi? rolls of tight-, lv drawn paper in prepared oil and grease. When lighted, they retained; heat nnd flame for about 15 j minutes. Hopes lifted baskets of j them to Alpinists and soldiers, fight-j ing in the clouds, thousands of feet I THE FRENCH n s fil fi,1 !!L. is .: hi; n 'j . .i M ' 1 " i 1' V' V--- ' J - - IWVr.

Engagements be tween whole companies of Austrians and Italians on skees have been fre quent. The spirit of the Italian army is fine. Unofficial estimates place the Austrian losses at appro. imately 450,000, about 80.000 of which are said to be in killed. Austrian pris oners are rumored to he near tho 100.000 mark. These enemy dam ages, it is asserted, are not counter balanced by the Italian casualties. The presence of the king in the field is an inspiration to the fighters.
