Italy could put two million thor- '.' oughlv efficient men into the . field,' and 1.300,000 at . the outset. Greece and Roumania would follow Italy's lead with another *' million.. With Italy, Greece, Serbia, | .and Roumania linked together, joining j *~ hands in tho "West with France and j England, and in the East with Russia, the ring of steel encircling tho Dual -.' Alliance would be complete. Italy .. alone could strike the armies of Germany and Austria in their weakest point, She would command both tbe-J -tres, while a, combination of forces ', such as had been indicated wouM inevitably hasten the termination of the K\; war and stay the appalling .slaughter . • and mutilation of Europe's youth and j -~ chivalry.
