FEARS RESULT OF
GERMANS SUCCESS
Rome Believes That Triumph OF
the Kaiser Would Be Fol
lowed by Revenge.

London. Aug. o. While it is impos-
sible TO obtain definite information, 1t
is generally believed that Italy soon
will announce her participation IN the
war on the side of the allies.
The allies are now bringing tremen-
dous pressure 70 bear OF Italy 10 take
an active part. and rumors in diplo-
matte circles are that italy has decided
to take the fateful step.
Americans and others returning from
Italy tell stories Of complete Italian
mobilization and demands by the army
to get into the fray. At one embassy
it was said to-day that il appeared that
Italy was bding her time, waiting TO
sec the results Of the present lighting.
Advices from Italy indicate that the
feeling exists there that II the GER
mans should completely triumph they
would take a harsh revenge for Italy
leaving The Triple Alliance and adopt
ing An attitude OF neutrality.
British newspapers TEEN with edI-
torials pointing out the advantage ac-
cruing TO Italy if she joins the allies,
even to the extent OF discussing what
spoils Of war in the shape of additional
territory or restored provinces Italy
might expect.
While there is not the slightest be.
lief here at present that the allies will
be unable 70 handle Germany and Aus
tria. il il we'll recognized that ltaly's
assistance would make success more
sure and certainly much quicker.
The precise steps being taken 20 in
ducc Italy 10 reach d decision are un-
known. but there is no doubt that Eng
land, France and Russia are Al. using
every conceivable argument and in
authoritative quarters hope is eX-
pressed. II is also believed that Ger
many and Austria are doing likewise,
but no one among the allies believes
these representations will be effective.
To sum up. there is good reason 10
believe that Italy will be the next ma
tion to be involved in this great con-
hagration.

Sylvester Schaffer a whole Show

People are sometimes spoken Of as being "a

way. They are sometimes told that they think
themselves "the whole show" but usually with
some reflection TO their own self-esteem.

in one. and the dramatic artistry with which
he accomplishes every act places him in the
class of really great artists.
