can today by special courier.
Despite emphatic denials. the belief
here that Marchetti and Won Buelow are
discussing peace was much strength
sncd Immediately.
ITALIAN opinion sees In the numerous
references to possible peace an attempt
to create In Neutral countries an at
mosphere favorable to peace. which
might constitute . means for bringing
pressure on the allied governments.
The Italian press warns public opinion
not to be deceived by such false hopes.
The Tribuna asserts that II Is In po-
sition to say that the entente allies have
certain guarantees that the Rome cabi-
net will not be u party to such obscure
combinations.
All the Rome newspapers agree In
pointing out how ridiculous would such
attempts be at the moment the union
