are keeping a lot of Austrians busy
even they aont get vary far." And
interest ana information of the aver
age American generally begins and
en as right there.
But the military purposes and tha
general strategy of tha Italian cam
paign la going to play an Increasingly
Important part In tha future. It la
no longer a mere minor operation of
the war. or side war of Its own, as
It Sad been regarded for the most
part in this country. With the pass
ing of Russia, Austria, must continue
to feel strong pressure.
The major campaign of the - allies,
the on In which our armies will par
ticipate, and in which England and
Franoe will continue to center their
efforts, of course, will be In France.
But, in the opinion of many military
exports, the possibilities of the Italian
campaign have been entirely under
estimated by the allies and are not at
all appreciated In America. Of course,
the United States is not at war for
mally with Austria, but It is more a
semblance of peace than the reality.
Austria Is Germany and Germany Is
Austria, as far as war making Is con
cerned. The Italians believe that tha
real 0 nance for decision lies In knock
at
the entire Dalmatian coast With the
enemy wiped off the coast, the subma
rine menace In the Medlterranea
largely becomea a minor issue. Th
"sub" bases, except for nests hidden
in tne .Dalmatian islands, will bo
wiped out
Why la this soT
A glance at the military man
ones discloses the Importance of Lai
baoh, a furnishing the chief road to
iTieet. uut it does not. on the sur
lace at least indicate why the cap
ture of this strateglo point should
mean the evacuation of the Istrlan
peninsula and threaten Austrian con
Vol on the entire Dalmatian coast
There are other railroads and other
military roads that lead Into both
Pola and Flume from Hungary, be.
sides those from Laibach, including a
direct line from Budapest. Why,
then, the supreme Importance of the
capture-or Laibach
The writer put this Question of
strategy up to some of the highest rep
resentatives or the Italian government
in mis country, no taucea witn mem
oers of her military mission. And be
It said, that tha type and ability of
the military men Italy haa sent over
to America has been a sourcs of con
stent surprise to those Americana who
did not know the real Italy.
"ll you study Napoleon's cam
palgns," said one, "and his Italian
campaigns were the highest mark
reached by his military genius, you
will see that when Napoleon sought
Venice no first struck at verona, cap
tured It and removed that menace to
his communications. And the fall of
Venice was comparatively an easy
matter. When Napoleon struok at
Germany it was through Austria and
into Austria from Italy. Napoleon
said the way to Germany was from
Italy, and the key to Austria was
Laibach. Whsn Napoleon reached
lng out Austria by striking at her Laibach he had Austria beaten. And
through the gaps they are opening up
in the Alps.
A Load to Germany.
Of course, they have their self-In
terest la seeing the strong blow
truck at Austria and the Hapsburgs
brought to their knees, but at the
same time they point out that Austria
today is the weak end of the Teuton
alliance; that she la dally and weekly
becoming more of a load for Berlin
to support; Austria put out of the
war, even as far as Russia has been,
would foroe Germany to terms quick
er than sledge hammer blows struck
at Germany herself.
The grand strategy and war pur
poses of Italy is not merely to attempt
to seise all of Trentlno and Istrla, the
Italian provinces, and ait down and
hold them while the allies fight the
war out to a finish. Italy Is In the
war to a finish. And her blows at
Trieste, the goal to which every Ital
ian eye la set aa the freeing of . a
real Italian city, are secondary to
her general campaign that la ham
mering the Austrian army out of
jf- business. And the Italians say they
J 1 can do It U they get sufficient help in
Jf the way not of men, for they have
plentybut of war munitions. Their
campaign, conducted under the lead
ership of their great strategist, Ca
dorna,. Is In complete acoord with the
grand war plans of the allied mili
tary oouncfls and, since the weaken
ing of Russia, has become of tre
mendously more Importance.
The real goal of the Italian offensive
Is. not Trlest. although Cadorna's
legions' are knocking at th door of
Trlest The objeotive Is Laibach. If
Laibach falls and It Is a matter of
months In the future their strate
gists say that not only Trlest but the
entire Istrlan peninsula. Including the
great Austrian naval base at Pola and
the Austrian - fleet that la now shel
tered there, and Flume, the seaport
on the other side or tne peninsula,
will fall. too. In other- words, the
Italian strategists say that Laibach la
the key that opens the door to three
Austrian seaports and threatens her
It still holds true. When Italy reaches
Laibach It will be a beaten Austria.'
Now this, of course, is strategy only
In Its' most general terms. Down to
the- situation as - it exists today. -"Of
coarse there are other ran
roads and means of communication
Into Fiums and Pola and Trleat and
the Istrlan peninsula than those from
Lalbaoh," this Italian authority said.
"But it would be much the same as if
somebody were trying to capture Mil
waukee, St Paul and Minneapolis, and
tney out tne railroads at Chicago.
There would be other railroads and
means of oommunlcatlon but with the
vital flow of communication coming
irom ins east, any army would have
a difficult almost Impossible, job get
ting suppllee if the road was blocked
at Chicago. . That is what Laibach
means to us and why wo are driving
ror it Also when it is reached, you
may know that it will be a beaten
Austria for she never will give It up
until she has made her last effort to
hold it From Laibach the terrain
Is such as to favor extremely the at
tack in a drive from Laibach to Flume.
snouia tne Austrians be foolish enough
to try to stick it out it is tne gats
way to Hungary also.
The Italian -campaign not only Is
based 'upon ths lines of .Napoleon's
Italian campaign, but It surpasses, as
aoes tne ngnting on tne jrrenon front,
any conception Napoleon had of war
fare In -magnitude. The fight thus far
haa been entirely on the upgrade, both
figuratively and literally speaking.
Austria held aH the high ground; the
Itallana held: the plains. :' The highest
peaks ana me most strongly fortified
points were only a short way across
tne itojian frontier, Austria regarded
them s Impregnable. The mountain
passes in the Trentlno are to all In
tents .and purposes impassable, ex
cept with a completely crushed and
beaten; Austria. . -
t Over Peaks to Victory.
Tha Italian strategy there Is nrao-
tloelly a defensive game entirely. But
on ths east or what is known as ths
Iso nso -front although ths battle tins

ths Italians have won vlotories that
sven a few months ago appeared Im-
fiosalble of achievement They have
Iterally done the Impossible. They
have ecaled mountain peaka that com
manded the Italian front and kept
back an offensive In face of the most
murderous artillery onslaughts. They
have bridged mountlan gorges and
crossed and scaled the oppoelng peaks
when even the effort looked suicidal.
Rare engineering feats have been ac
complished to get euppllea and guns
up and forward. The offensive in its
full fores was sustained for forty
five days, literally wearing the Aus
trians out and using up thslr muni
tions. And today ths Italians ars rest
ing on ths west slope and peak of,
fla.n flirllA- th mhrallar nt ffca '
Julian Alps. Only Mount Ban Dan
lele remains of the series of peaks
that Austria had fortified for a half
century as- the first and strongest 11ns
of defense, that was to be the bar
rier against Invasion. To the eouth.
the Itallana are hammering away at
tne Hermada, the stronghold that
holds the fats of Trlest proper, al
though not the Istrlan peninsula.
It is ho easy road, ahead. The road
to Lalbaoh is a succession of moun
tains and plateaus. A trifle over
thirty-five miles remains to bs cov
ered. The advance haa been only
seven or eight miles thus far, although
It has bssn many miles, if the moun
tain slopes that had to be mounted
and then descended from were meas
ured In ths calculation. But the
point which elates all Italv and which
gives them confidence In their ability
10 complete tne rest 01 tnelr journey
this fall and next spring and sum
mer, is that they have fought them
selves to the top. They hold the high
est peaks now and are looking down
on the hated Austrians. Thev have
accomplished the hardest Job. The
advantage now lies with them In the
superior heights from which to launch
tneir artillery fire. It will take weeks
and months to get roads onened un
and the big guns all In play again.
aitnougn tne present offensive hasn't
spent its full force yet But they
are fighting from the peak down
not up. And already they have coat
the Austrians a good sized army, soma
thirty thousand prisoners in this drive
alone. Conservative estimates are!
that two hundred thousand Austrians
were put out of business.
Italy has ths men. On aeoount of
the topography she hsan't been able
to bring her full force Into play. She
estimates she Is keeping close to 1 H
million Austrians on her front But
as she gets more elbow room she can
bring more force to bear. She has
several million reserves untouched
that her military leaders say can be
brought Into action. She needs mu
nitions and war material, not men.
What Is bslng done to help herT Since
the Russian debacle. It is an open
secret that Italy haa received much
more in the way of munitions than
she did before. She Is getting still
more. '
A Question of Shins.
But ths case of Italy Is the case of
the other allies. It Isn't a question of
munitions eventually. Thoee can be
had. It is a question of tonnage. Italy
has to havs them shipped In. And
there is only so much shipping avail
able. She isn't comnlainlnor of her
allotment She needs more. But so';
do the rest Se, after all, her case
merely points in an emphatic degree
what the real problem of the war
now Is meeting the submarines some
way and getting more shipping. With
out more ships it Is a difficult task
to get an increased supply of muni
tions over.
The writer asked General Toxsl,
head of ths military mission In this
country and one of Italy's best re
garded military leaders, how Italy was
faring in supplies. He answered:
"More aupplies and at a less cost."
"Your nation has taken giant strides
since entering the war," he continued.
'No other country could do what you
are doing by mobilizing your wonder
ful Industries. Italy needs steel, for
example. But she not only needs
steel, but fourteen different specifica
tions. France has her different needs;
England has hers. Yet your won
derful organization of industry has
been and la being so perfected that
you are going to meet all our needs
as well as your own. A half hour ago
I signed a contract for certain sup
plies. I got nearly twice the quantity
that I had been able to get before.
I got it 120 a ton cheaper than we
have been forced to pay. And with
we nations, who have already born
the terriflo expense of many montha
of war already, that means much in
relieving ths strain."

There la living In Paterson, N. X,
man who forty years ago saw the
birth of what is practically the idea
baclc of the German submarine cam
paign. He is William Dunkerly of
Crooks avenue and he helped to de
veipp the Holland submarine boat.
In 1877," ho said one day last
week, "John P. Holland, a teacher In
St John's school, had a dream and
oould be seen at any time with his
drawing board before him and the
children figuring on his boat.
'Hi came to ms with his figures:
but wo didn't agree. Mine came to
200 pounds more than his. But he
said that I must bs wrong, as all In
the class figured it ths same as. he
did. Many times the youngsters told
ms of having punishment coming to
thsm and of escaping It by going to
him and talking of the submarine un
til he became Interested and forgot
to punish thsm. Others say he was
so absorbed In his idea that they
learned to smoke while In class.
The boat was built In the machine
shop of Todd Rafferty, of whloh I
was foreman at that time, wnen it
was completed we' put It on an ex
press wagon, carted it to the Passaic
river and launched it. Before we
could turn about It went down.
Turning to look at some one on the
bank I aaw two beer barrels lying
there. ' I cmlckly plugged the bung-
holes, and after the boat had been
twelve, ships. We thought It a trick
of his Imagination and paid little at
tention to taHni but now I believe he
had a vision and foresaw what was
going to happen. .
Hall of Iron.
"Ths hull of the Holland boat was
of iron. Inside were the air and wa
ter chambers, designed on much the
same principles as they are today. Tou
must remember .that Holland's boat
was an experiment, built from plans
drawn by a schoolmaster, and worked
out by. a young machinist; Now many
practical and sxperlenoed - englneere
work on submarines. Ws laid ths
foundation for their researches.
The boat was visited by hundreds
oi people as It lay at Lister's boat
house. Boys used It to dive from.
They, would swim around It and could
often be seen trying to sit on the beer
kegs that kept it afloat. Then one
night some malicious person cut the
kegs adrift and when Holland went to
look for his submarine he found it had
disappeared, but he had removed the
engine and other machinery long be-
iore tnat
"It is my Impression that Holland
invented the boat rudder that steers
the present submarines and airplanes
up ana down. That alone would have
been a great Invention.,
"Holland lived until the war In
Europe started, long enough to wlt-
"Oh, if that is big enough we can give you a dozen or. .
styles in size 7 5-8 to select from.
The customer was PLEASED. He bought trousers
and others things.
We can make the big fellows and slim fellows all feel
comfortable and do it as an ordinary every tfay job with,
pleasure.

ths other to the stern. Then I towed
It ud the river near Pennington park.
where Mr. Holland was to make his
experiments. I owned the first steam
launch that sailed on the Passaic
river.
Ready for Tests.
Mr. Holland was then ready to go
down to maks his tests, and after fas
tening roses to the bow and stern
and attaching an apparatus which he
fastened over his mouth for purifying
ths air hs breathed, he went below
And didn't come no for more than an
hour. Wo were beginning to become
alarmed and were about to pull the
boat un bv the rosea when he raooed
on the side with a hammer, wnicn
was ths signal to draw him up.
'When he opened the top He came
out smiling. Holland had demon
strated the effectiveness of ths diving
theory simply" with the aid of the beer
kegs. The trouble with the boat arose
from the difference In displacement in
salt watsr and fresh, which hs had
overlooked. The boat would have been
all right in the salt water, though.
His fifteen foot craft with its double
eca-lne and - lis two diving rudders
solved the problem of diving, and he
made discoveries tnat enaDiea mm
later to design a submarine torpedo
boat which was accepted by the United
States government On his work the
development of ths submarine is
based.
"For a long time there was secrecy
as to who was paying the expenses of
Holland's experiments. One story wis
that frier.t'it of Ireland wanted the
Holland boat to attack Great Britain's
warships. . One of the men who gave
a arrest deal of attention to the exper
iments was O'Donovan Rosea, ths
Irish revolutionist. He made many
visits to see how wo were progress
ins.
"Once while ho and others wr
watching us experimenting on the
river I saw the reflection of a small
glass which flashed In my face. I
tried to locate tho glass and discovered
that it came from a tree, and when I
went to investigate I saw. 'hut ths son
of a prominent doctor In Paterson
was watching us ciossly with a strong
ficid glass. When I asked him to come
6 own and maks an explanation he
asked me why I was working against
the Eno-lish srovernment. I told htm
It was for dollars I was working, not
against any government, i
. "He reported back to the govern
ment, and wo were oloseiy watched
from then on. hut, as I told hhra. tho
English government had nothing to
fear from that submarine. Indeed I
didn't th'nk England over would have
tho experience with any submarine
that aho has had during this war.
The first boat was built In 11T7.
Then Mr. Holland, becoming con
vinced that he could 'build a longer
boat for less money than It would cost
to remodel tho old one, laid his suh
ttiarlns np In tho boatyard of Lister, a
bostbouss keeper. His ambition-was
to tulld a submarine that could flylit
battleships. I recall that when we
were making1 our second trip n thej
river Mr. Holland told of a dream he
had of tha destruction wrougni among
vious to that time ho had eXDerlment
ed with two other submarine boats, the
second ono being larger than the first
and perfected to the extent that It
would work well. After he had plans
accepiea in a sompetition by tho
United States government he built the
third model. Owing .to Interference
from the government he was ham
pered and the submersible was not
satisfactory. To prove his statements
that it was government interference
that caused the failure he built an
other boat that was satisfactory In
every way. It was named the Holland,
and when war was declared with Spain
he asked permission to go with his
submarine and destroy the Spanish
vessels, but Dewey and Sampson and
Schley didn't give him time to get
ready and the war was over before he
had a chance to do anything.
"Allways when Holland was experl
mentlng curious crowds gathered and
people were at different times invited
to go down in the boat with him, but
most people were not attracted to an
uncanny submersible that refused to
emerge without the use of a rope. Oc
casionally one was found that had
pluck enough to go down, but none
was particularly anxious to try It the
second time. After our experience with
the spies these invitations ceased, as
there was danger that somebody
might Injure the boat.
"I well remember ono day we were
working on her down the river. AH
of a sudden the engine started pufflnc
and we going forward, then backward
and ahead again. All of the specta
tors, even Mr. Rosea, dodred behind
trees and houses, and still others ran
for safer shelter, thinking the evil one
was inside and it would blow up. But
tho trouble was only caused by having
too mucn steam and we had to work
some of it off or ths holler would have
burst.
Sorely Did Go.
"Finally we got started and we
surely did go. It was a good thing
for us that there was no speed limit or
we should have got Into trouble. We
could see those behind straining their
eyes to see what would happen to us,
but ws soon turned and came steam
ing back quite satisfied with our ex
periment. But It was funny to see
ths expression of horror on ths faces
of those about us whon . wo sailed
away. i . . ' " j
"What did I have to do with the
construction f Well, Mr. Holland was
tho Inventor and drew his own plans.
Not always though did ho furnish his
own drawings and many of tho parts
had to be worked out. , I was a young
machinist at ths time and much inter-
estd in machinery but had no
thought of building such a thing as
an undersea boat, though I must con
fess I was greatly interested in it
when we finally got it started.
"All pans were assembled before wo
launched It, but it was necessary to
make many alterations. . It was quite
an easy matter to think certain parts
should work, bat it was another mat
ter to make them work as wo wished.
HoUland didn't give up making altera
tions until he found that it would eot
him more to rebuild tho old boat than
tho shipping of the world by two of It would to build a new one. Ws set
his submarines, saying he dreamed to work on tho second one and that Is
that la just one week ho torpedoed tho one ho wished me to run for him.

AMERICANS WILL HONOR MEMORY
OP KOSCIUSKO, POLISH PATEIOT
WASHINGTON, D. a, Oct . Tho
thousands of American citizens of Pol
ish nativity, or desoent are making
elaborate preparations to pay honor
to the memory of Kosciusko, the great
Polish patriot and warrior ana ins
friend of America In the Revolution,
In celebrations to bs held this month
on tho centennial anniversary of his
death. Plans ars under way tor a

In this city, with President Wilson as
the chief sneaker. Similar ooserv
ances are to be held in Chicago, Cleve
land. New York. Milwaukee ana va
rious other cities with a largo Polish
element In their population.
Thaddaua Kosciusko was one of tho
most oromlnsnt of tho many man of
varied fortunes and strong character
who were attracted to America at i"
time of the Revolution. He belonged
to a family of the lesser nobility, and
his life was marked out for the army.
He had a distinct itaate for music,
,rui this attracted much attention at
the cadet school at Warsaw, where he
was placed for study. He made a
brilliant success In all branches of his
education, so much so that tns state

It was really an unhappy love af

nobleman far above his station that
4wMit Kosciusko to seek adventure
In some foreign land. The struggle
of the American colonies appealed to
him, and In 1877 he sailed from
pvance with the French fleet to assist
the Americans with his sword. Wash
ington found him a devoted officer and
one to be trusted in times .ei .emer
gency where firmness and . courage
were eminently essential. .
He went back o .roiana in iioo.
Whn his unhSDny - country Became
subject to Russia hs went to live at
Lelpslo, and there he remained till
the army was reorganized in Poland.
He was made a major general.,..

prisoner at St Petersburg. Under the
Emperor Paul I he was freed, and he
came over to America to see with his
own eyes tho progress made by tho
young republic.
. There was a drematio moment In his
release. Ths emperor handed him
back his word. Tho devoted Pole
drew himsslf up proudly and declined
to receive ' It, saying; "I have now
no use for my sword, as I have no
longer a country." ......
After enjoying hospitality and hon
ors in the United States, Kosciusko
went to France and settled at Fon-
talnebleuu. Bonaparte tried to use
his nama and influence to bring about
a rlslnc In Poland against Russia. But
Lths patriot was too honorable to lend
himself to suon a sensme.
When Bonaparte fell and the Rus
sians entered Paris, Kosciusko bad a
long interview with tho Emperor Alex
ander, whom' ho urged to restore to
Poland what had been taken from her.
There Is reason to believe that Alex
ander promised this.
It was In 1816 that Kosciusko went
to Swltserlaad to spend his remaining
years. An accidental fall from his
horse was tho cause of hie death,
Which occurred October If. 1817. The
entire civilised world paid him tho
tribute of admiration and honor, for
to his hereto deeds there was' nothing
for motive but the ardor of true
