European Man

To the present time, Russia has sup
ported Austria's resistance. That is
to say, Russia has let 1t be known
she objects to Italian predominance
along the eastern Adriatic. The popu-
lation of Austria's seaboard provinces
is predominantly Slavonic. If Aus
tria Is to be broken up as result of
the war, Russia wants the Adriatic to
continue to be partly Slav and wants
her protege, Servia, to be the guar
dian of this extension Of pan-Slavism.
Italy, therefore, has been unable to
make sure that even If her armies
conquered Istria and Dalmatia, the
peace conference after the war
would ratify the conquest This un-
certainty has greatly strengthened the
hands of the non-interventionists in
Italy and has probably been the decfd-
ing influence which has kept Italy
out of the war.
Now. however, Russia is being driv-
en- into corner and an Italian diver
sion may prove to be essential to
prevent the most serious Slav catas-
trophe of the war. Here may be 1taly's
opportunity. Russia's plight may COM
pei the allies to give every assurance
italy desires that what Italians con-
quer they can keep. In this case, the
last barrier preventing the Adriatic
from becoming an Italian lake will
be removed as far as Roman states
manship can foresee. The question of
Italy's entrance into the war will then
become one of measuring thu military
considerations and deciding whether

ROME, May 13.-ltaIy today was
very close to a declaration Of war.
What was heraIded as Austria's flna!
proposal In the interests Of peace has
been definitely rejected. In official
circles Il was said the government
will not keep the world long In sus-
pense-that an Important announce
ment may be made within forty-eight
hours. .. &c..
Baron Sonnino today was oIoseted
In an Informal meeting with several
members of the cabinet It was stated
positively, however, that the Austrian
proposals were not up for reconsidera-
ton. Following the formal session OF
the cabinet yesterday, SonnIno an
nounced that tho concessions offered
by Austria had proven unacceptable
to the cabinet, and hinted that Italy
was about to end negotiations by a
drastic step.
What will be contained In the an
nouncement which II was reported Is
about to be made by the government,
was a secret today. In some quarters
it was said the cabinet would give to
the public statement justlfying Ito
course In the negotiations with Aus
tria. The Intended effect Of this
would be to crystaIize public sympathy
In support Of the governments posi-
tion before the meeting OF parliament
one week from today when Itaiy's
declaration is expected formally to be
made known.
From authoritative sources It was
learned that Austria In her last pro-
posaI to italy, offered these conces-
sions:
The cession Of all portions Of Tren-
tIno Inhabited by Italians; home rule
fer Trieste; the ccssion Of the lsonzo
district with Gradlsza ard free hand
for italy in southern Albania.
In addition Italy was told that Ger
many and Austria were willing to
make further concessions at the end
Of the war.
