Deputy Bevione, Turin
Editor, Says Nation Will
Soon Join Allies.

Paris. April 3.-Gluseppe Bevlone,
editor Of the Turin Stampa" and also
a member Of the Italian Chamber Of
Deputies, told the Associated Press to-
day that he had deep conviction that
Italy would begin war against Germany
and Austria before the end Of April.
Signor Bevione said ltaly's military
preparations were almost complete. The
Italian government, he declared. VISA
not waiting for a decisive battle IN
favor of the Allies. but desired TO be-
come engaged in the war before such
a battle, as Italy would then be in a
position TO realize her aspirations in
accord with the Allies. He added that
it was not possible for Austria to sat
isfy these aspirations, because, in part,
they concerned the Mediterranean.
The belief was expressed by Slgnor
Bevione that the Vatican would not be
opposed to Italy's intervening. jn the
war. He said, also, that II was not
necessary for the government 10 con
woke Parliament for the purpose Of de-
claring war.
Bologna. April 1.-The newspaper
"Resto del Carlino' says il learns from
a diplomatic source in Rome that Aus
tria-Hungary, perturbed by the popu-
lar demonstrations in Italy, inquired
through its ambassador at Rome what
the object of these demonstrations was.
and, also. what was the significance OF
the reports of a military measure being
published in the newspapers of Italy.
The newspaper says the request Tor in
formation was cOuched in courteous
terms and that Premier Salander re
piled Immediately that the steps taken
were of precautionary character and
in nowise an implied threat to any one.
Rome, April 3-The Petrograd Tele-
graph Agency, a semi-oilicial organiza-
ton, has authorized its correspondent
here to issue the following statement:
Both the Russian government and
public opinion feel the most friendly
sentiments toward Italy, fully approx
ing her aspirations for complete ma
tional unity, as the largest realization
of the principle Of nationality always
has been the fundamental aim OF the
Russian foreign policy.
Besides recognizing the importance
OF the economic and strategic interests
of Italy in the Adriatic, Russia is will
ing to admit that certain Italian terri
torial aspirations are legitimate, even
if not based upon the principle of ma
tionality. Russia sincerely wishes that
Italy should not urge excessive claims
and not create a situation which later
might cause a new international con-
fict. The imperialistc attitude toward
the Adriatic attributed to Russia is
absurd, and reports regarding 1t evil
, IDENTIFY are due 10 German instigation.'
