WHY ITALY HAS
GONE TO WAR
She May Now Recover Her
Lost Provinces.

The entrance OF Italy into the world
war, which began last August brings
the number of states engaged in the
conflict up to IL. Italy, allied with
Germany and Austrla-Hungary since
1882 in the Triple Alliance, was called
upon last summer shortly after the
assassination OF the Austrian Crown
Prince at Saraezo, Bosnia, to support
the Germanic empires. She declined
and there began a series Of diplomatic
negotiations which soon resolved
themselves into efforts on the part OF
Germany and Austria-Hungary TO in
duce Italy TO remain neutral.
Prince Won Buelow. an astute Ger
man statesman, whose wife is an
Italian woman, was sent 10 Rome with
instructions to do his utmost to save
the situation He labored indefatigably
for months, but in vain. He offered
Italy certain parts of Austrian terri.
tory as the. price of her neutrality, but
her answer was always. 1T is not
enough" 1t now appears that Austria
did not really believe that Italy would
enter the field against her.
In the meantime there had arisen in
Italy a war party led by the "Irredent.
lists" which made its voice heard in
no uncertain terms. Dispatches from
Rome for months past have indicated
that the sentiment for active participa.
ton in the war was stronger by far
than that on the side of continued neu.
rality.
For months the diplomatic er.
changes between Vienna and Rome
had been constant, but the most per.
sistent efforts of the diplomats to keep
Italy out of the war were futile The
Triple Alliance was denounced by
Italy on May 4, bp. even after this
diplomatic endeavors were continued

"Supplementing the previous reports
OF the importance OF the defeat suf-
fered by the Germans in their attack
to the north OF Ypres during the night
of May 20-2l: We captured 150 prison
ers and took several mine throwers.
The ground was strewn with more
than 500 German dead.
THE weather having improved, our
troops on the slope OF Notre Dame de
Lorette made an attack which sue.
ceeded brilliantly. We have taken the
German fortified works called The
White Way (La Blanche Voie). which
is situated on the only one of the five
southern ridges OF the Lorette Hill,
which was still partially in the hands
of the enemy. From this point the
Germans. with their mitrailleuses,
were considerably hampering our
action, as also was the case on the
plateau and TO the west of Suchez."

statement was given out at the War
Office:

North OF Ypres colored French
troops attacked our positions east of

AN attack by the British in the
late evening south of Neuve Chapelle
in the region OF La Quinque, broke

"A further attack, by the French in
