Demands OF Italy.

Roughly speaking, Italy desires a sweep
of territory to the north and east which
would extend its boundary around the
northern end OF the Adriatio Sea as far
south as Fiume on the eastern coast.
This would include the Austrian naval
base at Pola, as well as the provinces
or Trent and Trieste. acquisition OF which
has been Italy's long-cherished aspiration.
The concessions which Austria is believed
70 be willing TO make are insignificant
as compared with the demands.
IL In regarded as probable that, under
pressure from Germany the negotiations
may be extended and Austria may be in
duced TO grant larger concessions than IL
now is willing to consider, but the belief
is generally held I'm responsible quarters
that the extreme Austrian concessions
would be insufficient TO satisfy italy.
The demands OF Italy. as outlined today
are set forth as follows:
To the north It desires the entire prov
inee OF Trent, to the east It desires to
extend it's frontier. to the Julian Alps. in.

Arguments OF Allies.

Representatives 'of the allies In their
negotiations with tho Italian government,
have presented the matter In quite q
different light They have united In
saying that tho defeat OF Germany and
Austrla-Hungary was inevitable even
without the participation OF Italy In
case Italy refrained from taking part II
would receive nothing from the allies
when the settlements are made.
They advance the further argument
that with the conclusion OF peace. OF
shortly thereafter. the separation OF
Hungary from Austria was quite to be
expected This would lead TO the alb
sorption OF the Austrian provinces OF
German nationality by Germany and the
consequent extension of German dominion
to Trieste. which thus would forever be
lost to Italy. In addition italy would be
forced to abandon Aylona and the Aegean
Islands.
What is believed In high quarters To
be an authoritative outline OF the ter
ritorial demands OF Italy and the position
OF Austria In regard to them was OBJ
tained today. The difference between the
Italian and Austrian points Of view as
thus indicated appears TO be SO great
that well informed persons are not able
TO perceive any likelihood OF an adjust.
