Although she has concentrated her
army along the Austrian border and
her navy within striking distance of
the Adriatic, Italy is still endeavoring
TO exhaust every means of territorial
concessions. Advices from Rome in
dicate that even should Italy become
embroiled in the war she will not
strike for some time. 1t is believed
in Rome that the decisive struggle
among the nations now at war will
not begin before the early summer,
which would allow Italy a consider
able interval in which to decide upon
her policy.
The Rome correspondent of the
Turin newspaper telegraphs that he
has reliable information that there is
basis for the reports that Austria is
seeking peace with the triple entente
powers the better to deal with Italy.
Semiofficial negotiations, she says,
have been begun.

months of the war are estimated by
the military expert of Rome news
paper at 5,950,000. The cost of the
war in that period is placed at $s,-
400, 100000.

who has reached Naples on his way

general says, the Turkish fortiflcations
must fall.
Austrian aviators dropped sever.
bombs yesterday on Podgoritza Monte

Russ Push Forward
Russian troops are pushing forward
rapidly in the Carpathians, and it is
reported from Petrograd that the
road to the plains of Hungary now
lies open before them. According to
this information the Russians have
