AUSTRIA ASKS PLEDGE
WANTS GUARANTEE OF FUTURE
ITALIAN NEUTRALITY.
Dual Monarchy Apparently Resisting
Germany's Efforts to Find Way to
Keep Italy Out OF War.

Rome, Italy, reports III ulSpalCA
to Paris Friday what purports to be
an outline of Austria's attitude which
relation to the cession of territory to
| Italy is contained in dispatch to the
Tribunea, dated Vienna. but tele-
! graphcd fro mthe frontier.
The statement IS made that Aus
tria, without rejecting upon Italian
good faith, contends it is only natural
that the dual monarchy, If she is
ready to grant territorial compensa-
ton, should wish to insure Italian
neutrality.
For this reason, the dispatch says,
Austria feels she should carry out her
spart Of the proposed agreement only
when an italian pledge OF neutrality
is fulfilled, especially in vitew OF the
fact that the cession OF the province
OF Trent would imply q weakening OF
Austrian military resources with re-
gard to Italy:
Commenting upon this report, the
Tribuna says the condition which
| Austria demands IS absolutely mac
! ceptable and il maintained would
make impossible any friendly agree
| ment. No ministry would accept as
a satisfaction Of national. aspirations
simple promise to be carried out at
the end of war, the results Of which
no one can foresee, the newspaper
argues.
"Tte Austro-German point Of
view," the Tribune says, sis wrong
/ because they think Italy is asking
compensation for neutrality. The
problem is totally different. Austria
provoked the war through aggression
against Serbia, partly against repeat
ed Italian warnings and partly with
out Italy's knowledge. This action
was entirely contrary to mutual
Italo-Austrian pledges and confiicted
with the fundamental interests OF
Italy. Thus the European equilibrium
was upset and radical changes in the
map of Europe are inevitable.
"Italy sacrificed her national as
pirations by adhering to the Triple
Alliance for the sake Of preserving
that European equilibrium. Since
Austria shattered it Italy can no long
er postpone the realization of those
aspirations.
Paris reports Friday: The Aus
trian government IS resisting ener-
geticaily pressure exerted by Ger
many to induce her to make terrific
rial concessions to Italy, according to
a Geneva dispatch to the Petit Paris
len.
Count Andrassy, former premier OF
Hungary, and several other states
men representing the dual monarchy,
are reported to have gone to Berlin
TO discuss the problem with Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-Hollweg and For
eign Minister Won Jagow.
It Is reported at Geneva that II
other negotiations fail the German
chancellor contemplates q trip to
Vienna in the hope that he may con-
vince Emperor Francis Joseph that it
is necessary for Austria to consent to
the sacrifices asked.

FIRED WHOLE FORESTS.
German Artillery Touched Off Trees
Loaded With Gasoline.

How the Germans employed both
fire and water to destroy the Rus
slams in the campaign in the Mazu-
rian lake district, east Prussia, IS re-
lated in a communication received in
London from Gathenberg.
German strategy counted not only
on water and mire, but even fire,
the correspondent says: '"Their engi-
neers have, for many years, been
equipped with a peculiar kind OF
auger for excavating the trunks OF
soft trees such as the Mazurian furs.
When the Russian army first advanc-
ed into East Prussia German engi-
neers hastily excavated numbers OF
trees.
when Russian troops reached the
Mazurian district, German engineers
at once opened the canal locks,
drowning the invading troops like
flies. Some Russians reached the
forests, but Of course, they had nc
idea that many trees had been charg-
ed with gasoline. It was an easy task
for the German artillery to set a
match to this bonfire and burn W
the Russian regiments they had en-
trapped"

the British navy Is sufficient to cause
every neutral power to rest contest

overawe the British fleets, the pres

If England were not engaged in the

The British government would point
to It's navy and France, even though
she had wrested command OF the seas
from Germany, would acqufesce.
On the other hand it Is beyond all

No neutral hereafter can be certain
of retaining a right based only on

it such devastating possibilities in
