Since Saturday besides a continuous
stream of taXis, motor wagons, private
automobiles and properly equipped motor
ambulances conveying wounded to the
hospitals, Parisians have witnessed the
constant arrival of German war material

said to represent barely half the total
amount.
traillcuses, 40 ammunition wagons and
three aeroplanes have already arrived.
EXultant roars rise from the crowds who
for hours await the passing of the nu-
merous patches of German prisoners ira

ROME. Sent. 10.

ROME, Sept 10.
Domestic politics and foreign diplomacy
are exerting tremendous pressure against
the Italian Government in the present
war crisis of Europe. some groups de-
manding war and others insisting upon
neutrality and peace.
The committee of direction of the Radi-
cal party at meeting attended by mem
bers of Parliament, has adopted a resolu-
ton calling on the Government ito con-
slider whether the grave but inevitable
task Is not imposed to change from neu-
trality to active participation in the con-
fiict."
This resolution Is highly significant at
this time. and aroused high interest in all
quarters today
In its preamble. the resolution declares
that Italy's interests in the Adriatc must
be safeguarded, and that Italy should CO.
operate to prevent the war from being
settled in a manner that will determine
the predominance of military tendencies
ACcol ding to the Giornale dItala, which
has been lukewarm toward the allies
there are three groups now playing the
main roles in internal political affairs The
first of tSese. represented by the Govern
ment and supported by majority Of the
ConstitutiOnalst party, Is favorable to
neutrality until the interests OF the COun-
try are in danger, but meanwhile fayors
strengthening the army.
The second group is represented by
some COnstitutionalists and several form
er Cabinet members. including former
Premier Luzzati. and Socialists, who favor
neutrality to the end of the war the pre-
serving of economic energies, of the cOun-
try and the maintenance by the Govern
ment of its own system of foreign policy,
The third group consists OF refOrmers
moderate Socialists, members of the mil
itary clique, radicals, republicans and ma
tionalists, who favor the abandonment Of
neutrality in order to realize the old as
piratiOns to redeem the Italian provinces
on the Adriatic littoral still under foreign
rule
The press is divided, some of the papers
contending for the immediate abandon
ment Of neutrality. Others express the
opinion that dissolution of the present
Cabinet and the selection of a nationalist
ministry would throw the Government
into discard.
In the meantime. Germany and Austria
have not altogether abandoned their ef-
forts to have Italy live up to her Oblga-
tlons under the Triple Alliance, Mean
while Great Britain and France have
made strong representations to the Italian
Government against her participation In
the strife The Government Is struggling
with might and main to keep at peace,
but sudden developments of an untoward
nature may throw her into war any day,

separate her policy and destiny from the

THE Italian army is ready for al
eventualities. Our fleet Is mObilized and

England We are now neutral only in
