The revival Of the agitation IN Italy in which

two countries that they we're several times on
the point Of declaring war. Austria was indig-
nant when Italy protested TO the Emperor OF
Germany. who. according TO the Triple Alliance,
is the arbiter of Austro-Italian disputes. The
Emperor decided that Italy was wrong in not
depressing the anti-Austrian movement, and
that Austria would be wrong il she tried to
occupy Albania and thus conflict with Italian
interests.
and Austria decided to complete the accord OBJ
tanned through the meeting at Naples OF En-
peror William and King Victor Emmanuel IN
