suggestions include a general readjust-

LoHDoH, Aug l.--Sincc the present
European situation reached the critical
stage the question has naturally arisen,
as 1t has always arisen in critical
times What will Italy do as a member
Of the Triple Alliance
Italy's hatred OF Austria is too well
known to be insisted upon at this time.
An Italian diplomatist, passing through
London two days ago, said to the cor
respondent OF THE SUN:
"One OF the chief services of the
Triple Alliance toward European peace
has been in preventing Italy and Aus
tria from going to war
II is obvious to any one who studies
the map of Europe that there is good
reason for Italy. when it comes TO
test, to refuse to fight for the aggran-
dizement of Austria Hungary in the Bal
kan peninsula.
To begin with, Italy has large army
In Tripol which is exposed to the risk
of being cut off If Italy fights on behalf
of the Triple Alliance. but more serious
| than all is the Internal situation in
/ Italy The recent railroad strike was
/ more revolutionary than industrial and
| many experts on the European labor
! situation say that for the Italian Gov
eminent To enter into another war
would SIMPLY mean the beginning of
revolution against the monarchy.
The question remains, How can
Italy refuse to fight in the circum-
stances" She realizes more than any
of the Powers concerned that war would
be disastrous. There IL only one way,
that Italy denounCc the alliance with
Germany and Austria-llungary and
proclaim her neutrality.
Not n Defensive War.
Indications that Italy will try this
method OF escape from the dilemma are
seen in the semi-of'iCial announcement
in the MeSSdDcrO that "as II Is not n
question of a defensive war Italy Will
conflne herself 10 pointing out that her
obligations under the treaty do not
obligc her in the present circumstances
To take up arms and that she will there
fore remain neutral although 1t Ia not
certain that this neutrality will endure
to the end of the war
Italy" the Mcssdgcro adds, will holo
aloof only as long as she Is assured
that her interests are not ipfringcd.
