Italians Declare Foe
on Defensive Everywhere

Washington, Aug 21.-The Italian
Embassy made public tonight the fol-
lowing statement issued by the govern
ment at Rome on Italian military opera
tons up to August l8:
"As opposed to misleading reports
circulated by Austro- Hungarian
sources, the royal Italian government
wishes to make known the following
facts:
"Austro-Hungaran military action on
the whole Italian front is on the de-
fensive. The few isolated offensive
movements undertaken have been of
merely local character. and were moth
ing more than vain attempts to conquer
lost positions.
THE frontier, which was considered
practically impossible. owing to the
most up-to-date Notifications Austro-
Hungary had built with profusion
along he whole length of it. and in
the building of which she had taken
full advantage of natural defences and
almost impregnable mountains and
valleys, has been crossed by the Ital-
ian armies.
Immediately upon the declaration of
war the Italian troops occupied many
important positions in the Trentino and
Galore, with view to counterbalanc-
ing the enormous advantages which the
frontier drawn in 1865 placed entirely
in the hands of Austria Hungary. In
some few places the Italian army has
refrained from invading Austrian ter

juries received by Italians in Turkish
territory.
Another early dispatch said that the
Italian Ambassador at Constantinople
had been instructed to hand to the
Porte a note asking for formal cate
goric statement as TO the departure Of
Italians from the Turkish possessions.
The note, it was stated, was couched
in terms admitting no evasion. 1t calls
upon the Turkish government to de-
clare-yes or no-whether Italians
would be permitted to leave. and when.
The newspapers of Rome, it was
stated, had unanimously urged that the
government declare war against Tur-
key if it should be ascertained that
every effort to obtain permission for
Italians to leave Ottoman territory was
unavailing.
Although Italy declared war on Aus
tria on May "a and hostilities between
the two powers began immediately,
there has never been any declaration
of war between Italy and Germany, the
ally of Austria, while until now Italy
and Turkey, the ally of the Central
Powers, nomnally have been at peace.
Friction between Turkey and Italy,
however; has been in evidence since
soon after the latter's entry into the
war. Early in June there were reports
that Italian consuls were slowly leav-
ing Turkey and that American officials
were taking over the task of looking
out for Italian interests. Later charges
were made that the Ottoman govern
ment was preventing these consuls
from leaving, and that similar coercion
was being exerted over Italian civilians
who wished to quit Turkish soil.

Two years later Prince George. os-
tensibly tried to win the consent OF the
powers TO the emancipation OF Crete
from Turkey to unite the island win
Greece, policy TO which Nenlzelos
was committed. He afterward learned
that as a matter of fact the prince had

He protested against this, and was

After that he became one OF the
princes chief adversaries. he eventu-
