PURPOSE OF ITALY
CONTINUED From Page one)

The very mountainous character Of
the territory where the opposing ar
mics face each other, the southern
part of the Austrian Alps, promises
operations and fighting Of the most
difficult nature. For several weeks
past both the Austro- Hungarian and
the Italian armies have been engaged
in fortifying and otherwise adopting
protective measures.
So far as know the Italian fleet is
mostly in the Adriatic, under the COM
manG Of the Duke of the AbruzZi, who
is known to many American through
his visit ct the United States some 10
years ago. 1t is generally believed the
feet will proceed promptly against the
naval strength of Austria in these wa
tcrs.
On the adriatic the Austrian ports Of
Trieste and Pola and Fiume is in Hun
sary The Dalmatian coast is also
Austria's. The Dardanelles are less
than ECO miles from southern Italy and
her participation in the operations
against these Turkish positions should
be expected.
One great purpose Of italy in enter
ing the war is to gain possession OF
'unredeemed Italy" a sweep Of Aus
trian territory to the north and east
near the head of the Adriatic sea. This
region, which includes Trent and
Trieste. is Italian in all but nationality.
To attain it has long been her cherish
ed ambition. The territory in dispute

a wedge penetrating Italy between
Lombardy and Venetia and cutting
Lake Garda. while the second portion
includes the peninsula of IStria and
runs northward to the Julian Alps be-

Austria in 1859 by Piedmont and
France, and even after Piedmont had
taken over Lombardy and the King

There was left in possession of Aus

in 1913 Austria seized it and has held
it since that time.

ITALY DECLARES WAR
ON AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
Continued From Page One

side Of which fevcrish preparations
have been going on the last few days
to make the Notifications impregnahlo
and to clear the way for effective ar
tillery action.
The German amba SSador, Prince Won
Ruelow. and the Austrian ambassador,
Baron Won. Macchio, are still in Rome
so far as is known. They have waited
to the last, doubtless in the hope that
some way might be found to prevent a
clash Of arms They will be given safe
conduct when they do leave, and, so
far as Germans and Austrian residents
in Italy are concerned every effort has
been made to see them safely out Of the
country.
OBTAINING Italians
On the other hand, most alarming
reports have been received from the
Italian border towns that Italian res
idents in the Austrian Tyrol are ex-
periencing great difficulties in return
ing to Italy and in many cases, have
been placed under arrest.
Vatican Problems
According to the Giornale D'Italia the
problem concerning the diplomats ac-
credited to the Vatican has been solv-
cd satisfactorily. The Austrian and
German diplomats, deplorins the situa-
ton in Italy will depart, as if they
were merely taking their summer va
cations before the regular time. 1t had
been urged by some that the Italian
government move theoretically with
respect to these diplomatic representa-
tives and by others that the Vatican
resist any effort to force them to with
ed and thus the Law of Guarantees re-
mains untouched.
German Resentment
From Germany comes reports that con-
siderable resentment is felt in official
quarters there against what is alleged to
be the obstinacy of the Austrian diplo-
macy responsible for the failure of tn =
negotiations with Italy initiated by
Prince Won Buelow, the German ambas-
sador. The suggestion had even been
made that Austria should be left alone
to fight Italy, but pledges taken by the
German general staff and by the German
Emperor personally with Emperor Fran
els Joseph resulted in the triumph of
those advocating Austro-German solidar-
ity, even in a new war against Italy.
About 100000 Bavarians and Hungarians
have already been concentrated against
Italy, Austria ensuring them commissa-
riat services.
Should an attempt to invade Italy fail
through the resistance of the Italian ar
my. the Austrians and Germans would
then have to resort to defensive meas
ures against certain invasion. The
Austrian defences are particularly
strong and have been constructed every
where, even along the Dalmation coast,
which is already protected by fixed and
floating mines and guarded by a dozen
submarines, carrying German officers
and sailors
The Austrian feet is centered at Pola,
with only a few torpedo boats and de-
stroyers at Cattaro and Spalato Other
Austrian warships are in the Dalmatia
archipelago, on the northeast cost of the
Adriatic sea- Naval men here do not
consider it likely that the Austrian fleet
will leave Pola unless forced by an Ital-
ian attack.
