on the highest authority that the
Kaiser recently Travelled to Vienna in
order TO personally urge upon En-
peror Francis Joseph the desirability
OF making territorial concessions to

Diplomats OF the two governments
had been strain!ng every nerve to
secure the continuance OF Italy's neu-
trality, but events had reached such
a threatening stage, with the obvious
failure Of the German mission to

her power TO hold back the Russians,
that the eIpedient OF secret mission
by the Kaiser had been hit upon
The utmost secrecy was observed
as to the movements Of the Kaiser,
who proposed substantial concessions
as the price OF Italy's continued neu-
trality.
