Even war sometimes has humor-
Gus phase. A Greek newspaper cor
respondent in the eastern edge of the
war area writes of an incident wor-
thy of comic opera According to
his story some OF the Austrian and
Russian soldiers do not take the
war as seriously as do their rulers.
AS a result a good many have sur
rendered simply because some of the
rank and file have preferred to take
their chances in a prison camp rath-
er than in the trenches. One cold
night last winter shivering and
hungry bunch of Austrians slipped
away from their line to surrender to
the Russian force which was facing
them short distance away. After
wading mile or so through the
snow they met group OF Russians
on their way to the Austrian camp
on a similar errand. Each company
tried to surrender to the other and
the two crowds finally got to quarrel.

CHINA AND JAPAN
 MAY COMPROMISE
Outlook for Adjusting Diff ferences Is Now
 Improving

PekinS. China. February ss-The out look for an adjustment of the differences which have arisen between China and ferences between representatives of the two nations apparently are progressing toward compromise.
 The most important stop yet taken in this direction was disclosed here today. The Japanese government has given in- dications which are regarded us definite that 1t will not insist for tho present upon the group of general demands which it presented. These include the chief points upon which China based her resistance to the representations from rokio. The principal demands which Japan is report ed thus to have waived for the present are outlined as follows;
 'rhe Chinese government can consult Japan before choosing foreign advisers in political. military and financial mat ters and if such advisers arc employed Japanese shall be preferred
 China and Japan shall police jointly important places in China. or Japanese shall be preferred in case foreign police advisers are employed.
 China shall purpchase from Japan at least one-half the arms and ammunition it uses hereafter. otherwise an arsenal shall be established in chm employ ing Japanese experts and materials.
 Japan shall have special privileges in the province of F'ukien and shall be con- suited first in ease foreign capital Is required in the province for railroad con struction. ship building, mining and har- Dor Improvements.
 Japan shall have the same rights as other nations to establish missions. schools and churches throughout the country. with the privilege of propagating Buddhism.
 Japan shall enjoy certain enumerated rights in connection with the construc- ton of railroads

New York, February a5.-(S. ecial)-Al- though the meeting of John R. Gardin and Max May at one of the great inter- national banking houses on th- day when the quotations for foreign exchange made new low record was said by them after ward not to be worthy of designation as conference nevertheless it was meet ing full of significance. MT May and MT. Gardin rank as the leaders in American foreign exchange activities. They are the foremost American experts in this depart ment of finance. The late J. P. Morgan himself was rerhaps as greatly qualified for the direction of movement in foreign exchange as are these two experts and 1t was in no small measure due to this mastery by Mir. Morgan of the principles and the methods of foreign exchange that he was able to achieve so greatly as he did in financing.
 That Mir. May and MT. Gardin should have gone, perhaps on short notice to the international banking office on that day of low exchange quotations, justifles the inference that they wanted to compare views and to do that in one of the. offices where perhaps the greatest of interna- tional financial transactions is now in progress.
 It was in the office of that firm, al- though in another building, that the bank CTS of New York spontaneously and with common accord met in the earliest days Of the grave crisis of last summer. There some of the measures for the relief of the situation were discussed. These measures when adopted and put into operation

served to save the situation. In 1907. at the beginning of the panic in October of that year. New York bankers met intui- lively in this office that there could be discussion respecting the best means of staying the panic. So it was natural that when the two foreign exchange experts of New York who together handle, directly or indirectly, much of the foreign ex- change dealt in in this market found themselves in consultation, if not in con ference, with officers of the banking house there were differences that it was thought dsirable to prepare for any emergency.
 Whether there was real emergency or Tot appears to be a matter of doubt. New York communicated with London by cable informally to ask information respecting the purposes of London. To this inquiry London replied with another question, What do you suggest, if any thing And there was then nothing to suggest.
 As the days passed, it became apparent that it was not the cratic and unparal- leled course of foreign exchange which disturbed the securities market and to some extent business, but it was the doubt about the effect of the attempt of Germany to enforce a blockade around Great Britain. This apprehension was not

Troops had to be called out to main
tain order, but everybody and every
thing which represented continued neu-

Even relatives of King Victor Emman-

These evidences of the popular de-

instant calm throughout the country.
Having gained their point, the people
quieted down as quickly as they had
risen to voice their determination, and
turned their faces to await the call to
arms.
For months the diplomatic exchanges
between Vienna and Rome had been
constant, but the most persistent ef-

HISTORY OF EVENTS THAT LED
TO AUSTRO-ITALIAN CONFLICT

ROME. May 24.-The entrance of
Italy into the world war which began
last August brings the number of
states engaged in the conflict up to
eleven. Italy, allied with Germany and
Austria Hungary since 1882 in the
triple alliance. was called upon last
summer shortly after the assassina-
Sarajevo, Bosnia, to support the Ger
manic empires. She declined and there
began a series of diplomatic negotia-
tions which soon resolved themselves
into efforts on the part of Germany
and stro-Hungary to induce her to
remain neutral.
Prince Won Buelow, an astute Ger
man statesman, whose wife Is an
italian woman, was sent to Rome with
instructions to do his utmost to sake
the situation. He labored indefatig-
ably for months, but in vain. He Of
fered Italy certain parts of Austrian
territory as the price Of her neutrality,
but her answer was aaldays TT is not
enough" It now appears that Austria
did not really believe that Italy would
enter the field against her.
Trredentists" Arise.
In the meantime there had arisen In
Italy q war party. led by the 'irreden-
ttsts.~ which made its voice heard in
no uncertain terms Dispatches from
Rome for months past have indicated
the sentiment for active participation
in the war was stronger by far than
that on the side of continued neutral
ity.
Evening star., 1915-05-24

ROME, May 24.-One great purpose
of Italy IN entering the war Is to gain
poesessfon of '.unredeemed Italy" a
sweep of Austrian territory to the
north and east near the head OF the
Adriatic sea This region, which In
cludes Trent and Trieste. is Italian in
all but nationality. To attain 1t has
long been her cherished ambition.
The territory In dispute may be de-
nned roughly as the sections of Aus
tria south of line drawn In the
Rhaetian Alps. where Italy, Austria
and Switzerland meet, eastward to the
carnio Alps. and thence southwark
along to the Italian Alps and again
eastward so as to include Fiume. The
first part of this territory forms a
wedge penetrating Italy between Lom-
hardy and Venetia and cutting Lake
Gard, while the second portion includes
the peninsula of Istria and runs
northward to the Julian Alps between
the Tagliamento and Save rivers.
Unredeemed Italy.
This territory is called ITALIA Ir-
riedenta- (unredeemed Italy) because
it once formed part OF the italian
states of the middle ages and because
the majority of the people are of
Italian stock. For the same reason the
