Austria Is Sore.

Rome, Aug. l5.--AustroI Italian rela-
tions became badly strained today.
-Four Austrian army corps wished to
cross italian soil to help the Germans
in Alsace. Italy forbade it.
The Austrian foreign office then re-
minded the Rome government that Aus
tria. Hungary, Germany and Italy were
allies and that their agreement bound
the Italians not only to facilitate the
Teutonic nations army movements but
to aid them with troops.
Italy answered that this applied only
to defensive warfare and that in this
case Germany and Austria. Hungary
were the aggressors.
The Italians would remain neutral,
it was definitely stated, and would re-
sist forcibly any attempt to violate
their neutrality.
