Washington, Aug. 12.-Now that
Italy has made it plain she will not
play her part with the triple alliance,
the attention of the world is directed
toward her as one of the countries OF
Europe which may keep out Of the
fighting or may be drawn in on the
side of the triple entente.
Those who are familiar with the re-
sources of Italy here express the view
that that country as a neutral would
ne of much value to Germany and Aus
trla as a sort OF feeding ground ana
that it would be the part of wisdom for
Germany not to force Italy into war
against the German Austrian alliance.
Unquestionably the problem of wnere
to get food and other supplies is going
to prove an enormous one for Germany
and Austria. Hedged about as they
are by enemies, it is conceivable that.

might tight the war to something like

mand of General Joseph Joefre who en-
joys great popularity with the men, as
he does with the French nation Sener-

army that when General Joffre nas
once made up his mind nothing will
force him to change it. French military
men express the fullest confidence in
his skill. General Joffre is 62 years
old. He has been married ten years,
but is childless. He is OF medium

very fair hair and thick, dropping
mustache. He is noted for his excel
