authentic ground for the belief, that

Stand Of italy.
Italy stands in this position: It is
of vital importance for her to main
tain her present strength on the Adri-
attic and this can only be accomplished
while the territory on the eastern
shores of this body of water are held
by a small power or a little nation
without a naval base, such as Albania.
It is the ambition of Austria to extend
her possessions down along the Adri-
attic and through the western part of
the Balkans to the AEGEAN Sea.
II Austria IL victorious in the war
of the nations, she probably will insist
upon compensation (from Serviao con-
sisting of territory which would give
her. more Adriatic coast, and an outlet
to the AEGEAN. At the present time
Servia touches neither Of these bod
les of water, but Austria would have
to cut through Servian soil to reach
her goals.
On the other hand If Italy had join.
ed with Austria and Germany, and
the Triple Alliance goes down to de.
feat the country would undoubtedly
lose territory and prestige. The gov
eminent would be sunk in debt; the
male population would be ravaged and
the people would be in q mood of In
tense hostility against King Victor
Emmanuel.

It is a defensive war for the German
nation, with their national life at
stake.
England has been jealous of Ger
many and her commercial triumphs
for more than a generation. France
has advertised her loss Of Alsace and
Lorraine. Still the whole world has
accepted her sentimental attitude on
this question. Russia, since her set
back by Japan. has been looking west
ward for an outlet to the sea. 1t is
very difficult to forecast the outcome
Of what may prove the greatest war
in the history of mankind.
Emperor William is part OF the ma
ton of Germany, but by no means, the
all-important part. The role he plays
in the commercial, artistic and mill
tary life of Germany is In proportion
to his personal magnetism and his
personal ability. Had Germany been
under a republican form Of govern
ment, war would have been declared
just as quickly"
