We have received from the London office of the Italian
State Railways several highly interesting English pamphlets on the work of the Italian Navy during the war. These are published for the Italian Ministry of Marino by Messrs. Alfieri and Lacroix of Milan, and deserve to-be widely known. Our Battle Fleet, by M. Sobrero, and In the Silent Adriatic and Submarines, by Conunander G. Iffilanesi (1 lira 800. each), with their very numerous and excellent photograph', give a very good idea of what the Italian sailors arc doing. The book on submarines gives a full and instructive account of the partial destruction and capture in March, 1910, of the Germans sulentarine 'C.C.'S.; which had been laying mines outside an Italian port as early as June, 1915, long before Germany was technically at war with Italy.
