Italian Navy
Plays Important
Part in the War
ROME, Aug. 28.—(By Mail)—in
the plan of the allied war the Italian
navy has taken a quietly energetic
but powerful part.
At Italy’s plunge into the European
■ strife she assigned the naval task of
patrolling the Mediterranean, the
Adriatic and Aegean seas. The de
| struction of Austrian commerce, the
protection of allied territory and the
working of damage to the enemy
squadrons and soil were her specific
commissions.
The direction of the operations,
looking toward these ends, was put
into the hands of Duke Luigi of the
! Abruzzi. Like Cadorna’s, his first act
i was the expulsion of politics from his
organization. The process made him
some enemies, but it won his country
a really effective arm of war.
Duke'Luigi had a fair naval founda
tion for the inauguration of Italy’s
war at sea. The latest official statis
tics of the Italian navy show its foot
ing in times of peace, more than two
years ago. The types then listed in
cluded 23 first class battleships, 5 sec
ond class, 2 third class, 4 fourth class,
9 fifth class and 8 sixth class.
The destroyers numbered 44 and
the high seas’ torpedo boats 28, while
there were 44 first class torpedo boats,
14 second class and 5 third class.
Twenty-two submarines completed the
flotilla.
The entire fleet was manned by 2,
716 officers, 5,447 petty officers and
73,754 men. However, material in
creases, speeded and augmented by
the war, have since been made in ev
ery department, it is reliably known.
The first class battleships, the torpedo
boat squadron and the submarines es
pecially have been strengthened. The
addition to the first are said to num
ber almost a dozen, including the
magnificent Dante, Cavour and Julius
Caesar.
The Amalfi, a first-class cruiser,
was torpedoed during the first days
: of the war. The second class cruiser
Garabaldi suffered a similar fate.
Then the Benedetto Bruin, an old first
class cruiser, was wrecked by an al
leged internal explosion. The subma
mine Medusa fell victim to the enemy
later.
The Ancona and several other Ital
ian freighters and passenger-carrying
ships have been destroyed. A trans
port very recently was sent to the
bottom by a short from a hostile sub
marine. All these blows from the
Austrians, generally resulting in hea
vy losses of life, spurred the Italian
fleet into retaliatory action.
Care was first given to suffering
Servia. Italy succored the Servians
after their retreat, transporting them
from the Albanian coast to Sardinia
and Algiers. The transportation was
fraught with the greatest danger.
Austrian submarines continually at
tempted the destruction of the rescu
ing warships. The Italians afterward
were called on to carry thousands of
Servian soldiers through the danger
ous waters between Corfu and Salo
nika. These reiniorcements were
greatly strengthened the English and
French armies, preparing an offensive
against the Bulgarians and their al
lies. .
Months ago the Duke of Abruzzi
was reported to have invited the Aus
trian admiral by wireless to come
out and fight. The alleged invitation
has never fully been accepted, it is
said. The main fleet of Austria still
is bottled up at Pola. The movements
of the Italian fleet generally are kept
secret for tactical reasons. But mi
nor engagements, in which the Itali
ans have given a good account' of
themselves, admittedly have occurred.
Durazzo waters were where many of
these fights were staged.
However, the Austrians, it has been
discovered, have a ready shelter along
their Dalmatian coast in any naval
emergency. The Dalmatian shore has
countless hiding places whose entran
ces are cunningly mined against the
enemy. It is in striking contrast to
Italy’s eastern coast, which generally
is a long, barren stretch of sandy
beach.
As naval policemen of the western
Mediterranean, the Adriatic and the
Aegean, Italy’s fleet in the main has
proved a success, it is asserted. Ital
ian gunners, who before the war were
ridiculed by the enemy, apparently are
now respected by the Austrians. Fre
quent reports of the destruction of
Austria’s ships of cargo trickle out
from authoritative sources. Austrian
commerce at this moment is declared
to be practically at a standstill.
Italian submarines frequently steal
Into hostile waters with favorable re
sults. One recently penetrated into
the very harbor of Trieste and sank
an enemy transport. The loss of life
among the Austrians is reported to
have been very heavy. All Italy, al

boat of new pattern is said to be now
in use. The Austrians are rumored to
be terrorized by its effective unique
ness. Some speculators trace back the
mysterious craft to an experimental
undersea boat, tried out by the gov
ernment before the war. This was
the invention of Rubiola and to a cer
tain extent resembled the “spider sub
marine” of Henry Ford’s later imagi
nation. It was a one-man craft, cheap
ly constructed and easily managed.
High speed, smallness of size and
lightness were its chief points of
value. Special devices sought to pro
vide for the constant safety of the op
erator.____ _ .
