AUSTRIA ASKS
 AID OF ITALY
WILL GIVE THREE PROVINCES ASKED FOR HER
 HELP.

ROME, Aprl 14.-A report has been circulated here today which suggests that an entire change may come in the relations between this country and Austria. This report is that Austria has offered to Italy the three Austrian provinces which Italy claims if this nation will throw in her support on the side of the Austrian and German empire. As Italy's greatest ambition is to add to the Italian kingdom the Austrian provinces inhabited by Ital- ian people it is quite within the range of possibility that this government will entertain the proposals. It is as- sumed that as repayment for the loss of the provinces Austria would take Servia and some Russian territory in case of victory while it would also try to gain control of Albania. The offer is supposed to be due to the effort of Count von Buelow, the astute ambas- sador whom Germany sent to this country. That Italy must take some side in the conflict is beginning to be realized more and more if she can hope to hold her place in the ranks of great powers and if her ambitions are to be realized when peace comes to be made.
