this power to cover all other concerns

Rome Believes In Immi-

Cisiye Events.

Rome. March 9.-Premier Salandra.
after his visit last Sunday to Gaeta,
had a long interview witt Foreign Min
ister Sonnino, after which n meeting
OF the Council Of minister's was called.
These facts, together with other indi-
cations. lead to the widespread belief
that Italy to-day is upon the eve OF
great and decisive events.
That Italy Is on the brink Of enter.
ing the European war on the side OF
the Allies is the belief in Italian bank
inc circles in New York. A well known
Italian merchant, director OF the
Italian Chamber OF Commerce, ad-
mitted Yesterday that he had received
cabled information from business col
leagues in Italy to the effect that the
Italian government Is about to give up
hope of being able TO maintain their
country's neutrality any longer.
"Italy's quarrel is not with Germany,
but with Austria, which on numer-
Gus occasions has taken advantage OF
italy," he said. "Now that Austrias
strength is waning, the Italian people
feel that it is time 70 stop IN ana TAKE
from the usurper what ri9hu lily De-
longs to Italy"
At the Italian consulate 1t was un-
officially admitted yesterday that the
Italian government had issued can
for first line reserves in this country
several weeks ago, and that large
number of men had been sent to Italy.

IBy Cable 10 The Tribune. J

Petrograd, March 9.-The Russians
have again defeated the German invad-
ers in the vicinity Of Augustowa. near
the East Prussian frontier, in North
Poland, thus menacing the line OF COM
munications between Won Hindenburg's
column, near the lower Niemen, and
those pounding away at Ossowetz.
The present movements at both ends
Of the Russian war zone show that the
Germans and Austrians are maneu-
wiring for delay. They are striving to
gain time in order to avoid the great
pitched battle which the Russians hope
to force upon them.
Two German armies in the north
have now completely retreated across
the earlier lines Of their advance on
Kovno and Grodno. Throughout their
occupation of the strip of land on the
left bank of the Niemen their motors
secured the country for horse forage,
but the Russians had removed every
thing, and the Germans could only
burn down empty barns.
Since Saturday they have been with
drawing their heaviest calibre artillery
from the bombardment of Ossowetz.
The operations there are now dying
down to occasional Smelling from g.
inch guns.

The character of the German retire.
ment, however, still leaves the posi-
bility that the Russians will be able to
engage them under battle conditions
somewhat similar to those at Przasnysz
in the country above Lomza, possibly
along the line of Kolno-St. Chuchin,
with the Germans moving from their
bases at Johannesburg and Lyck.
1t is believed there are about 100000
Germans in this triangle between
Lomza and the East Prussian frontier.

of regret and an explanation TO Henry
van DYKE, the American Minister 10

understanding on the part OF the mil
