ITALY CAN MERELY
POSTPONE VICTORY
German Military Critic Believes
Rome Prepared for "Eners
getic Conduct of War"

Berlin, May 21.-"Certainly the ad-
dtior Of Italy 10 the hostile side
means for the central powers and
Turkey postponement OF their final
victory, but not in the same degree at
the present moment as would have been
the case months ago." writes Major
Moraht, the military critic, in the
"Tageblatt."
Major Moraht considers that Italy
has now reached the highest point in
her preparations.
$50 long as no defeats occur and the
spirit which plays en- important role
in the Italian character does not suf-
fer" he continues, eve must count
upon energetic conduct of the war"
Major Moraht believes an advance
against Bozen, an Austrian town in the
Tyrol, and against Nillach, in Carin-
thia, is projected by italy preliminary
to a movement on Trieste.
Budapest, May 2l.-On receipt of the
warlike news from Italy to-day great

Crowds attempted TO reach the ltal-
ian Consulate, but were held back by

"'All efforts Of the Italian govern

cal, political or military point of view.
This concession, moreover. would not
be accomplished except at an unde-

the end of the war.
"'ln view Of this condition OF at
fairs the Italian government must re-
nounce the hope OF reaching an agree

formal appearance to an alliance which
