Ce THE ADRIATIC SEA A Description Of This Historic Body | Of Water. | "Once more the peoples upon the opposite shores of the, Adriatic Sea are in a duel with one another for the mastery of the Mediterranean-- just as neighbors across this arm of the hand-locked sea have always clashed--for upon the Adriatic South European supremacy has been con- tested Since the days when Rome fell heir to the sea power of Athens and Carthage. Over this waterway | Rome met the pirates of Istria and Delmatia, aggressive Teutonic tribes and pressing hordes of 'Slavs; over it the Empire of the East sent jts ex- peditions to attack the Empire of the | West; and Austria a generation ago | waged war witha disintegrated Italy over Adriatic paths and for the su-| zerainty of the sea." After giving the above brief re-| view of this historic theatre for the, transport of invading armies and the | actions of battle fleets, youngest of the war theatres in the present Euro- | pean struggle, aroupd whose shores! the interest of South European bat-| tles will centre through the months to come, the bulletin issued by the! National Geographical Society con- tinues in a presentation of the geo- graphic details of the Adriatic Sea. "The Adriatic Sea is 500 'miles long and about 130 miles wide in the greatest width. It separates the Italian and Balkan peninsulas as far as Brindisi and the lower coast of Albania, and ends at the Strait of Otranto, by which it communicates | with the Ionian Sea, Its average width is 110 miles, but the islands off the Dalmatia and Istrian coasts | decreased this average to about ! | miles. The sea is very deep, vary-! ing from 600 feet in the north to more than 4,000 feet in its southern area. "The Austrian, or eastern coast, is very broken, strewn with fine har- bors, and lined with numerous rocky islands, which belong to Istria and Dalmatia. This western coast is of great naval and commercial value, well formed for the upbuilding of great, thriving trade ports, and, by reason of its almost continuously mountainous shores, its deep | gulls and bays, and its screening fringes of rocky islands, advantageously de- fended. The western, or Italian coast, on the other hand, is low, sandy and almost lacks good harbors and offers few natural advantages for defense, {The commercial importance of the Adriatic Sea throughout the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages was very great. This importance was somewhat impaired by the opening of the all-sea route to India and 'bv the determined growths of the Dutch and English merchant marines. With the opening of the Suez Cana! and the commcreial and industrial awak- ening of Maly and Austria-Hungary. the Adiiatic regained much of jis old-time significance.
