First Step by Italy Toward
Bringing Military
Pressure
TO BEAR ON
AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
Roman Press Warns the
Nation of lmpend-
ing Crisis

Rome, March 20.- Italy is preparing to
denounce the triple alliance treaty INK
ing her with Austria and Germany, ac-
cording to reports from various sources
yesterday afternoon Baron Sonnlnoi
minister of foreign affairs, it is reported,
is making ready to take this drastic step
to force Austria to cede territory to
Italy or face Italy's participation in the
war on the side OF the allies.
The majority Of the Rome newspapers
Yesterday warned the public that crisis
in the Austro.Italian relations is near at
hand. The Messagero appeared with the
fiat announcement that Prince Won Bue-
lows efforts to obtain concessions from
Austria have failed and that the foreign
minister is now actively engaged in ne
gotiations that may plunge Italy into
war.
In official circles, ii was admitted that
a formal announcement that Italy no
longer regards the triple alliance treaty
as serving her best interests is one Of
the possibilities in the present situation.
Officials positively admitted that the
situation had grown more grave In the
last "a hours. 1t was carefully pointed
out, however, that should the foreign
minister announce this action it must
not be construed as definite step
toward war. Having once made herself
free agent by denouncing the old
treaty, it was stated, the government
will be in better position to negotiate
with both sides in determining what
course she is to pursue.
Vague rumors that important mes
sages had been received from Berlin yes
terday by the German embassy were cir
culated in diplomatic circles.
That military trouble with Austria Is
inevitable unless Emperor Francis Jo-
seph returns to Italy all Austrian dis
tricts inhabited by Italians, the news
papers Tribuna and Giornale d'ltalia as
serted in vigorous editorials yesterday.
Their declarations, embodying the
same idea and evidently inspired were
regarded as highly significant in view
of their official connections. The Tribuna
is the semi-official organ of the govern
ment, and The Giornale is on most
friendly terms with the Salandra min
istry.
