WINTHE WAR
ROME, March 14. — “The AlPes
can win this war only by holding on,
! 0y the exertion of economic pressure
on the Central Empires and by rigid
economy at home” in the opinion of
Dr. Massimo Pantaleoni of the Italian
army, who had just been exchanged
after twenty months as a prisoner in
Austria and Hungary, Dr. Pantaleoni,
although Italian by birth, has nian>
relatives in the United states.
“The secret of winning the war,”
said Dr. Pantaleoni, “remains m the
blockade and in the allies at home ex
ercising the greatest economy out so
organizing that economy in the way of
imitatie i of consumption of foods and

and in these they are buried.

' improved by the taking Rumania,
“While in Hungary attending Iwl
, ian prisoners, who had been sent as
far away possible from the Isomto
front 30 that they could not escape
and go home, Rumanians told me civi.'
conditions had been such in Rumania
that the fields had not been worked
and therefore the crops had been poor,
i “As regards the entrance of the
United States into the war, both Ger
mans and Austrians si»id the eflective
result would be more in money and
materials furnished than in fighting
units, due to difficulties of troop trans
portation. They say that it is hardiy
woith while attempting to capture or
destroy enemy artillery because new
cannon will be forthcoming from the
United States.
“The Austrian people have been in
different about the war for a long
time. They want peace, any kind of
a peace, and the longer the w'ar lasts
the less they have to keep the war go
ing. The Germans are still posseted
of the monomania of domination, of
wishing to grab all they see, to take,
take, take; but time is sure to bring
them to i heir knees, to cut down their
fighting materials while that of the
Allies keeps on growing, and this is
why 1 maintain that the Allies m^st
win if they resist, if they exert econ
j omie pressure on themselves, and re
fuse to natch up a peace.
“The German* now' are seriously
' afraid of the English and the French,
| because they realize their superiority
in fighting materials.
“Al! that has been said about the
ill-treatment of the prisoners is /ue.
They are so poorly fed that if they
fall ill they are sure to die, as their
bodies have no resisting power. Most
of their illnesses are in the intestines
or of a bronchial nature leading to
tuberculosis. Their food consists, in
the camps, of soup made of beets in
the proportion of one half pound a,
day for each man, with sometimes a
potato and two ounces of meat ouce
a week. In the hospital of Sigmund
aherberg where I served, a hospital ar
ranged for 3,000 men, the deatn roil
has risen from one man e\ery two
days to three and four a day.
• Prisoners put on government work
last about two months. The phrase
‘prisoners step’ nas passed into the
language, so feebly do the gangs shuf
fle along, without power to life their
feet from the ground. Also the Aus
trian so'd'i rs are very cruei, shooi ng
or bayoneting prisoners for the s ight
j est infraction of rules."
