War Question of Hours

The Hague. May 19.-(Via London, SIP D. m.)-Interested members of the dplo- matic corps at The Hague claim to be convinced that war between Italy and Austria a-Rupgary is only a question of hours. Hints have been dropped In sew eral quarters that Germany is even anxious for Italy to enter into nosrffrtfes as by this means the possibility might arise for Austria Hungary to conclude a separate peace with Russia, which would enable Germany to withdraw many or her troops from the long eastern front for service elsewhere.
 Germany. some diplomatists say, is not likely to be very actIv- ase,n.. Italy, and would rather utilize the services of many of her officers now employed in Galicia on the western front. where they are greatly needed.
 It is also argued by foreign diplomats that Itaiy's entry into the war would not immediately involve Roumania.
