HIGH OFFICIAL SAYS ITALY
WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL
Says Nation Will Gain More by Keep
Ing Out Of the Great
Conflict.
BY sRIxroN ALLAIRE.

International News Service Correspondent
Rome, April 2a--'Itaiy viii not par
ticipate in the gar. BY remaining
neutral she will win : Greater victory
than would be possible were she to
enter either one Of the hostile camps.
This statement was made to the In
ternational News Service staff CORE
spondent by an official Of the Italian
government. For obvious reasons, he
requested that his name should not be
used.
A Kaleidoscope change in the stu
alton has developed during the last
"a hours. No stronger evidence Of
this fact than the foregoing statement.
Important code dispatches were sent
to Berlin and Vienna by the German
and Austrian ambas sailors. These are
believed to have an important bear
ing upon Italys foreign relations. as
their transmission followed a confer
enee between Foreign Minister Son
nino and Prince Won Buelow, the Ger
man ambassador. This meeting took
place at the foreign Office, and at its
conclusion Prince Won Buelow hurried
to the Austrian embassy where Baron
Won Macehio, the Austrian envoy. was
awaiting him.
The official who stated that Italy
would not enter the war said
that a full statement OF the interna-
tional situation as it involved Italy
would be made by Signor Sonnino to
parliament when it convened on
May y.
This statement is expected to
prove most satisfactory to Italy" he
added. In view OF what is now known
II is almost impossible to conceive OF
parliament taking any stand in op-
position to that which win be recon-
mended by the government.
