C, May 13, That rorhlddlng, itlrry, fort-strewn way, which, as tho horder lino lie tween, Austria and Italy, goes danc ing over tho peaks and passes of tho Houth Tyroleso Alps, Is pictured 'In Its wonderful scenle sdendors and In Its strategic uxoluslveness hy Klor onco Craig Alhrecht lu n recent com muulratlon to tho National Geogra phic society, An ominous Interest nttachos to thn writer's report upon two carefree summers spent In ex ploring (his frontier country, ns, In tho threatening relations now exist ing between Vienna ami Home, Its delightful area may soon hecomo a region of terror, tho theater of tho most costly mountain fighting of his tory, with each hill a mound of de struction and each valley a death trap. Itlval Fortification Kor years, both Austria and Italy have heon keenly exerting them selves lo seo which could fortify lis side of tho border tho best. At great expense, and as secretly as possible, this work ha heon pushed along through tho years of peace, until to day cither defensive chain Is a mighty one, stronger than tho Carpa thian lino, stronger than tho Argomio or the Vosges. Hpeaklng of tho stra tegic exctuslvencfls of this way, sown thickly with forts, block-houses, bat teries and gun pits, and of her diffi culties In securing photographs dur ing her two peaceful summer cxcur-'l slons, Mrs. Albrecht says: "Then only tho real meaning of those grim fortifications which face each other In long rows across Al pine valleys rnuio homo to us; then only wo sensed tho hitter reality of tho soldier's calling we, to whom Hid horrors of war worn happily all unknown, l'ortx until then (tho out break of Ho rope's war) had been un considered, aavo as they Interfered with picture-making; thn soldier's llfn had appeared solely from Its pic tures(un side. IVnkx IlrUllo With FH "Ono might think that tho great chain of tlio Alps would thomsolves bo sufficient fortification, a natural bulwark between north and south, between Saxon and Latin. Hut the plno has over yearned for tho palm, tho palm for tho plno; Invaders thero havo been from either side; so to day a Una of forts runs bristling oror peaks, passes, and highways llko cat tenser upon a stone wall." .l-orts along tho Swlss-Italo front ier are Inconspicuous, the writer con. tlnues, though it In posslblo (hat Italy maintains as proportionately strong defenses hero as upon her Aus trian or French frontiers. How ever, she makes less fuss about her Swiss line of dofense. France, tho writer says, Is a little mora modest; or alio requests tho kodakor not to trespass upon certain terlrtory nor photograph In certain directions. Hut thero Is far mora earnestness on tho Austro-ltallan frontier. Tymlw Holdlcr Mrs. Albrecht tells of tho wonder ful efficient soldiers or Austrian Ty rol, tho Kalserjoger (Imperial Hunt era), of whom many notices havo eoMio from tho Carpathians and from Ilosnla, where Montenegrins, moit famed among mountain fighters, mot their match In Tyroleso Katsorjagor. Of these corpamon, Mrs. Albrecht says: "Hecrultod fcolely In Tyrol, accus tomed to Its high altitudes and Its steep mountain aides from babyhood, hunters by birth, thoy need little drill savo In tho codo and manual of arms. Up tho thickly wondod, steep moun tjWn Hides thoy scramblo quicker than tho sturdy, Hiiro-footed ponies which carry tho light artillery thoy uso; and, In case or need, many of tho men can thenisolvos shoulder a small can non on a day'n climb. Inured to tho hardest ot bods and or faro, Imbued with a deop lavq or country, ploua at most to suporstltlaua almost to a point ot uncanny fear, fond of n rough Joko and t rougher dancing, Hinging marvolausy sweet and true, not very quick-witted poslbly, but swift-footed and thorough, thoy are an ottoctlvo body of men, both n ap pearance and Borvlco."
