ROME. Sept. eft Is regarded here
as beyond the possibility Of doubt that
Italy will Join England. France and
Russia against her former allies Ger
many and Austria That ItalY's neutral
ity will not last throughout the war
has been admitted by an official Of the
Foreign Office who Is in close touch
with the Marquis al San Giuliano. He
said:
"Our future allies Cfneaning the Pow
ors of the Triple Entente) are in 4
great hurry for us TO Join them. OF
course their impotence is natural, but
they have to curb It. as we will Join
them at our and not at their con-
venence.'
Although il Is regarded as inevitable
that Italy will forsake her policy OF neu-
trality. still the event that would Justify
her participation IN tho war has aot
yet occurred, since her interests In
the Adrlatir havo not so far been
threatened
Even II Turkey joins Germany and
Austria and thus provokes n conilagrn-
ton in the Balkans Italy's intervention
will not be justified, since Greece and
Rumania will join the allied Powers
while only Bulgaria may side with Ger
many and Austria. Besides, Turkey
will suffer the consequences Of her folly
and her partition will be inevitable;
hence Italy will indirectly be benefited
without the necessity OF intervening
The only event that would provoke
Italy's Intervention will not occur n
| the near future. While Austria retain,
| possession of the Adriatic coast and
until the Slavs reach the AdrIatic Italy
will not move. The English and French
may continue their operations In thu
Adriatic and even occupy territory
there. II Is we'll known that such ac

( character, since neither England MOI
France aspires to permanent territorial
acquisition in this quarter. II SeTvia
however, occupies any portion OF tn

NORTHEAST FRANCE, oct. 1.-THE Ger
mans are certainly weakening and with
to Vcrdun. As the tide Of their inva-
sion gradually retires tho villages they
occupied are being repopulated, the peo-
pl" emerging from their places Of ref
uge.
Not all the dead found in the German
trenches were killed by shell fire. En-
teric fever also has been busy.
The real interest Of the campaign now
centres in this part Of France. The
Germans have been unable to hreal;
through anywhere and they are wearing
out their soldiers. who came through
tho country between Lille and Valen-
ciennes in August certain of victory,
They are now In that country again
but they are no longer asking the way
to Paris.
There was time when this sort OF
talk was mere assumption or gossip
but It is a fact now The evidence is
too great and varied to be disputed
Moreover the Germans were not pre-
pared for winter campaign in France
Yet winter ia beginning and they are sick
with the hardshlps they have had tC
endure and the great efforts which hav,
given them nothing hut a record OF
masses of dead They have got TO go.
The allies are doing very well. The
Germans may be out of France mucn

Financial Burden Heavy.

Apart from the political reasons which
have go far delayed Italy's Intervention.
It Ii we'll known that there are other rea-
sons OF various kinds, especially finan-
cial ana military, which have contrib
uted to delaying Italy's mobilization. A
general mobilization will cost Italy about
50 600 900 n day. Every soldier OF tho
active army. IA soon as all the forces
are modified, will cost the country
about s1,40 a day. and considering
that the first line troops Will amount to
about n million 1t Is easy to explain why
the general mobilization has been de-
layed.
\ more serious question IS that rclat-
Ing to the field artillery equipment.
I'nti 1906 italy was the only European
state that had not completed her arma-
mcnt with quick firing guns, The 75A
seIni-qulck firing gun had been super
seeded by a Krupp l4.3 pr and coo Of
these guns were issued. The total num-
Der Of field guns required by the Italian
artillery on mobilization Is Las, and
i was proposed to make up this number
! by remounting the 75A guns on quick
firing carriages. These guns however
were 20 badly croded that II was impos-
sihlr to keep them in use.
Trials were therefore held In 1912 &c
