In spite of the heads precautions

LONDON. April 19.-Whether the
negotiations between Rome and
Vienna concerning Italy's demands
for territorial concessions have been
broken off remains for the moment
IN official secret but 1t appears to be
universally agreed the tension is ap-
preaching the breaking point.
tits suggested here that the Italian
foreign Office is waiting an ultimatunl
from Vienna on the subject of Italy's
military preparations along the from
tier as a pretext to sever the remain
ing ties barring an outbreak of hostil-
tiles.
The alertness with which every
move, Automatically or otherwise,
made by Italy is now followed in Lon
don indicates the high Importance at
tached here to efforts to bring Italy to
the fighting line. One Of the main
reasons advanced for this desire to In
clude Italy In the partnership OF the
allies is that in no other way is it pos
slble to close SO effectually the door
through which supplies are still
reaching the Teutonic combatants in
considerable amount. "A case In point
is the contiscation by the Swiss
authorities announced in Geneva to-
day OF a carload of machine guns Of
American manufacture which was on
the way to G ermany from Genoa.
Shipments Of iron, copper. anti
mony and sulphate have been reach

sularity.
