ITALY AWAIT
ING A DEMAND
FROM AUSTRIA
Latin Nation Thought to be Ex-
pecting Ultimatum Concerning
t> Preparations.
TENSION IS NEAR A BREAK
British Are Watching Every Move
Made by Italy With Great
Alertness.
TENSION IS NEAR A BREAK

London, April 20.-Whether the
negotiations between Rome and vi
emma concerning Italy's demands for
territorial concessions have been
broken off remains for the moment
an official secret, but it appears to
be universally agreed that the ten
sion is approaching the breaking
point. 1t is suggested here that the
Italian foreign Office is awaiting an
ultimatum from Vienna on the sub
ject of Italy's military preparations
along the frontier as pretext to
sever the remaining ties barring an
outbreak of hostilities.
The alertness with which every
move, diplomatic or otherwise, made
by Italy is now followed in London,
indicates the high Importance at
tached here to efforts to bring Italy
to the fighting line. One of the main
reasons advanced for this desire to
include Italy in the partnership of
the allies is that in no other way is
it possible to close effectually the
door through which supplies still are
reaching the Teutonic allies in con-
siderable amount.
A case in point is the confiscation
by the Swiss authorities, announced
in Geneva yesterday, of carload of
machine guns of American manu-
facture, which was on the way to
Germany from Genoa. Shipments of
iron, copper, anthony and sulphate
have been reaching Germany with al
fair degree of regularity.
1t is asserted today that sudden
embargo has been placed at Como on
trainload Of these supplies and that
Italy and Roumania have taken joint
action in refusing to allow foodstuffs
for the civilian population of Aus
tria-Hungary to traverse their ter
ritorie s.
