as despatch from Rome says:
The final document in the Green
Book issued by the Italian govern
ment is the note sent by Foreign Min

"All efforts Of the Italian govern
ment encounter the resistance Of the
imperial Austrian government, which
after several months. decides to con-
cede only the special interests of Italy
in Avlona and to promise insufficient

Amsterdam, Via London, MAY al
Sos A Mt became increasingly
clear after the death Of Marquis San
C:uIiano, says the Norddeutsche ALI
gemeine Zeitung Of Berlin in giving
q history Of the negotiations with It
ally. that strong forces were at work
in Rome to wiring special advantages
from Austria Hungary in exchange
for maintenance Of neutrality by L.
ally Germany, therefore, made every
effort to bring about riendly agree
ment between the two countries but
made difficult because Italy insisted
territorial concessions should take eff
feet Immediately.
itaiy's First Demands
Italy first made known her dema nds
on April II. They included the abb
solute Remuneration by Austria Of
Trent, including the German town of
Bozen: a redajustment Of the 'front.'
Ter along the Isonze river; the in
clusion Of Triest in a new independ-
ent state and the cession Of the Cur
zolari archipelago. together with rec
ognition OF her supreme interests in
Albania.
In return Italy is said TO have offer
ed a lump sum of 100000 for debt
redemption and engaged to remain
neutral as long as the war lasted.
Germany did it's utmost to induce
Italy to moderate its claims, as it
believed the unconditional acceptance
Of them would have affronted serious
ly the interests and dignity Of Aus
tria-
Triple Alliance Broken
While negotiations were still pend
ing, however. the Italian ambassador
at Vienna presented on May an un-
expected declaration that Italy re-
garded the Triple Alliance as having
been broken by Austria's proceedings
against Serbia in August. The am
bassador declared he had been in
structed 10 withdraw all offers made
by his government With regard to
Germany. the Italian government con-
fined itself to bringing TO the knowl-
edge OF Berlin the declaration pre-
scented at Vienna on May 1
Breach of Faith"
The last attempt to prevent our
lormer ally" says the newspaper,
from joining our enemies was made
on May 10 by considerably extended
promises on the part Of Australia
gary. which the imperial chancellor
read in the Reichstag on the 18th.
After the presentation Of these me-
gotiations. no Green Book can alter
the fact that IL Italy takes up arms
against her previous allies she will be
guilty O. a breach Of faith and trust
and will be acting in order to gain
increased power. which was offered
the Italian people with all possible
guarantees, voluntarily, without blood
shed"

OUTBREAK AGAINST LORD KITCHENER
NEWEST PHASE IN MINISTERIAL
CRISIS GREAT BRITAIN FACES

london. Nay 2i.-OEe of the most
remarkable features Of the ministerial
crisis in Great Britain at the present
moment. is the sudden outbreak more
or less severe, Of newspaper attacks
upon Field Marshal Earl Kitchener,
the British secretary Ct war. who at
the outbreak Of the war was the ma
tons military Idol and was loudly
proclaimed BY these same nswspa pers
as the only man in the country for
the position OF war secretary.
Severe Press Comment
The Daily Mail and other newspa-
pers under the same ownership have
been most violent in these attacks,
even going so far as to call into ques-
ton the military genius Of the field
rna-xha,. The Daily Mail says:
Ii never has been pretended that
Kitchener Is soldier in the sense
that Field Marshal Sir John French is
Z soldier. Kitchener is a gatherer Of
men and a very fine gathere-. too.

war as Z fighting general apart from
his excellent organizing work as chief

lions required for conducting Eu-
roDesn campaign in the field and we
can only hope that no such misfortune
viii befaIl this nation as that ne
shouid be permitted 10 interfere with
the actual strategy Of this gigantic
war"

oner Of having ordered the wrong

that despite repeated warnings that
z high explosive shell was required

shrarael such as he used against the
goe.s. thus causing ;he deaths Of
thousands u British soldiers and in

Laud Sir John French
After lauding the military strategic
skill Of Sir John French and his chief
Of STAFF. Sir William Robertson, the
Daily Mail adds:
IF by any chance Kitchener went

should. probably. have a costly object

can and European warfare. II is to be
