FAILURE OF ITAL Us .
Campaign ADMIT TED.
Evidenced by Invitation Extended Re-
publican and Reform Socialists to
Enter Cabinet as Ministers.
DISSATISFACTION IS NOW KNOWN
Under No Circumstances Of Normal
Procedure Would These Two Ex-
tremists Be Asked to Cooperate.
By II. w. T, MASON.

New York, July 17.-The invita-
ton extended by the Italian govern
ment to the leaders of the Republican
and Reform Socialist parties to join
the cabinet as ministers without port
folio, is an admission Of the failure
of Italy's military campaign. Under
no Gil cumstances of normal procedure
would these two extremists parties
be asked to cooperate with a mon
archial ministry. ~.
Dissatisfaction Evident.
It is evident that dissatisfaction is
making itself felt among Italians
over the unexpected resisting power
of the Austrians. Hence, the gov
ernment desires to enlarge. the min
istry so that responsibility for any
disaster which the future may have
in store shall be shared by the reyo-
lutionary parties. Fear of q revO-
luton which would endanger the

monarch has never been absent from
the minds of certain Italian states
men since Italy went into the war.
Unable to Advance. \:
Now after eight weeks of war, the
Italians have been unable to advance
beyond the first defenses of the Aus
trians. The situation, in fact has be-
come SO serious that the Roman gov
ernment has ceased to issue official
reports of proceedings in the war
zones; no casualty lists have been
published, although sources outside
Of Italy estimate the Italian losses
at 100000, while newspaper CORES
pondents are not allowed to go to
the front. Every indication empha-
sizes the growing seriousness of the
Italian situation. -@: :
