HOW TO FIGURE ROME'S GAIN (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) ROME, Nov. 23. Italy now has 2,000,000 men engaged In the war and Is preparing to add another mil lion. About a million men are on the fighting line, stretched along the mountains from Trentlno in the west to the Austrian stronghold of Qorlzla in the east. Another million is in reserve. The third million ia represented In the additional classes now being assembled. What Italy has accomplished In the war Is best understood by taking a map of Italy showing the northern frontier. The Alps sweep In a great seml-clrcle from the French frontier on the Mediter ranean to the Austrian frontier on the Adriatic. Thla sweep of the Alps from west to east Is a sort of natural bulwark or boundary of Italy, separating It from the nation and races to the north now, as It did In the days of ancient Rome. Dented to oath. But in two place this natural sweep of the Alp Is dented deeply to the south ward first In the Trentlno region In the west and then In the Trlcat region of the upper Adriatic. Thus the natural bound ary of the Alps Is broken at two vital points and Austria ha stretched down at both these point and firmly established Its political control. Its control of Tren tlno dating from the time of Napoleon and of the Trlest region from the war of 18(16. The first object therefore of Italy' campaign la to get back the two provinces which dent the natural frontier of the Alps, thus regaining former Italian terri tory and re-establishing the great moun tain range as it strategic defense. Thla main objective has necessitated dividing the campaign Into two parts, one In the west with Trent as the center, and the other In the east with Trlest aa the chief object. Between 400,000 and BOO.OOO men are engaged In the western operations centered at Trent, and about Snn.OOO men In the eastern operations directed toward Trlest. These two objectives are two separate campaigns. Both, however, are under the direction of General Cadorna, commander-in-chief. Main Italian Drive. The main Italian drive has been In the eastern section, toward Trlest, the great Austrian post of the Adriatic lying just across from Venice. This rich prlxe is hardly more than ten days march from the Italian frontier. And yet the war ha been going on for six months since May 23 and the Italian army 1 nowhere near Trlest. The military leaders say this Austrian stronghold could have been taken any time in fifteen days, but It could not be held as the Carso mountains sweep "SPEAR HEAD" All OLD TIME FAVORITE The Most Popular Chew for a Third of a Century.

The Italian commanders therefore decided that it was a military necessity to control all the approaches and mountain defenses before occupying the city. This has been the task of the campaign which has been going on during the last six months with its maxe of geographical names, all these being small accessories In the vast natural defenses, and necessary to be con quered before Trlest Itself can be held. Most of the fighting In this region has been along the Isonxo river with the Austrian town of Qorlzla as the main point of attack. Here the Italians be gan the Blow and tedious process of first gaining control of alt the elevated posi tions which could serve the Austrlans before pressing forward on Gorizia and Trlest. This has required the movement of troops along mountain roads and the carrying of heavy guns to great heights. Satisfied with Progress. The Italian commanders express satis faction with the progress msde in the Inst nix months. All the fighting has been on Austrian soil and no Austrian troops have at any time entered Italy. The Austrian coast ports, Porto Buso and Orado, leading toward Trlest, have been taken by the Italians and from Grado the lights of Trlest can be seen at night across the Adriatic. Further north. In the mountain country the Plava Pass ha been won, although at tho cost of whole regiments cut to pieces and a chain of mountain tops, villages and sta tion has been established encircling Gor illa. But Oorlxla Itself still holds out through Its- natural mountain defenses and It railway line pouring In constant supplies of fresh troops and ammunition. Quite distinct from the campaign around Gorizia is that in the other prov ince of Trentlno, further west. This has all been mountain fighting and little progress has been made. Tho great Al pine ranges sweep around further north, but down through Trentlno run Innumer able spur of the Trention Alps, making it a vast stretch of gorges and peaks.

The objective In this western flghtini, is to take Trent, -In the center of Tren tlno and about fifty miles from the Ital ian frontier. The Italians have thus fat covered about half the way, reaching, Rovereto, and clearing away the Aus trian mountain batteries as they have proceeded. But all thla is a hard, cold uphill fight, without much result thus far. In summing up what ha been done In these two campaigns, the net result In casualties, prisoners, etc.. Is nbout aa follows: Italian casualties, about 45,000; Austrian casualties (Italian estimate). 90,000; Aus trian prisoner In Italy, 3S.000; Italian prisoners In Austria, 1,300.
