ITALY MAY HIT AT TYRoL;
FLEET CONTROLS ADRIATIC

Rome, (via Paris), May 24.-Italy's
first move on land undoubtedly will be
against the Austrian frontier. Large
numbers of her troops are modified in
this territory and the forces OF Austria
Hungary are lined up on the other side
of the boundary.
The mountainous character of the
country where the opposing armies
face each other, the southern part OF
the Austrian Alps, promised fighting OF
the most difficult nature.
So far as known, the italian fleet Is
mostly in the Adriatic, under the COM
mand of the Duke OF AbruzZi, who Is
known to many Americans through his
visits to the United States some 10
years ago. 1t is generally believed that
the fleet will proceed promptly against
the naval strength OF Austria in these
waters.
One great purpose of Italy in enter
ing the war is to gain possession of
"unredeemed Italy" a sweep OF AUS
trian territory to the north and east
near the head OF the Adriatic sea. This
region, which includes Trent and
Trieste. is Italian in all but nationality.
To attain it has been her cherished
ambition.
OF all kinds, is figured at
about 1000, 900 men.
When the first blow will be struck
cannot be foretold, but after many
months OF preparation the army, which
has%been greatly strengthened, and the
navy are ready.

ITALY IN WAR WITH
HER HEART AND SOUL

Rome, May "a, (via Paris).-Enthu-
Siastic demonstrations in favor of the
war continue throughout Italy. In
Florence, VSaice. Genoa, Milan and the
other large centers. great crowds
throng the streets. sbouting for their
king and the army. Most OF the men,
bers OF the chambers of deputies have
volunteered for army or navy. The son
of Lieutenant General Cadorna, chief
of staff, is a lieutenant in the same
cavalry regiment which his GRANDPA
Their commanded in the war of 1885
against Austria. General Cadorna's
daughter, a nun in a convent at Flor
ence, has applied for admission to the
Red Cross. Owing to the large num-
Der Of men now under arms, there is a
shortage Of workmen. Most employers
have promised the workmen hat their
places will be restored on their return
from military service and that in the
meantime provision will be made for
their families.
In some cases women are doing work
formerly performed by men. In sew
eral cities women are employed on
street cars.

Constantinople, May 25. (via Amster-

AUSTR|ANS HOLD
ITALIAN REFUGEES
Rome Charges Fugitives Flee
ing to Native Soil Have Been
Subjected to Severe
Treatment.

Rome. May 25.-Expressions OF re-
greet are being heard on every side that
the nation is unable at present to as
sist persons of Italian blood or sym
pathies who are being arrested whole
sale by the Austrian authorities in
Trent, Triest and Dalmatia. Intense
indignation has been caused by reports
hat thousands of Italians have been
detained at stations along the Austrian
n German frontiers, where they nave
been subjected to illtreatment. A
trainload of Italians arriving at Cor
mons, near Goritz, are reported to
have been driven into a field by Aus
trian gendarmes, whore they were
forced to. remain all night in a heavy
rain without shelter or food. Several
children are said to have died because
of this experience. The women and
children were permitted to cross into
Italy the next day, but all the men
were detained.
The report reaching Rome that the
German and Austrian governments
have prevented 30,O 900 Italians from
leaving the territory Of those countries
has created a profound impression
here.
The Giornale D'Italia declines to be-
lieve the truth of the report, not only
because this would be opposed to the
rights of nations, but for the reason
that the italian government not only
permitted the departure of Austrians
and Germans from Italian soil, but
protected them.
From the Austrian side Of the from
tier news reaches Udine that the
italian residents are actually being
hunted and that the fate of 900 who
left Trieste hoping to reach Italy is
unknown. and that the greatest anX-
iety for their safety Is felt.

Addresses by Secretaries McAdoo

lures arranged for the afternoon ses-
sion.
The groups will not be confined In

Continental solidarity OF the nations
OF the western hemisphere with uni
form laws on many subjects, was the
theme dwelt upon today by Secretary
McAdoo, in his address of welcome.
MI. McAdoo said in part:
$50 long as we are in large part
financially dependent upon the nations
of Europe for our internal development
and economic stability, so long are we
exposed to the hazards Of their inter
nal strife and external wars. This
seems to be the opportune time for the
development of the spirit. at least, or
continental solidarity.
THE nations OF the western hemis-
phere cannot make a greater contribu-
ton to the cause Of civilization than
to effect that kind of continental solid
arity which, resting upon wholesale
material interests, political accord, COM
mon ideals, and mutual ~helpfulness,
will give them a commanding influ-
enCe for the peace OF the world and the
service Of mankind.
Nothing" the secretary said in con-
clusion, would so stimulate trade be-
tween the southern republics and the
United States and make so certain the
investment Of United States capital In
those countries as laws of substantial
uniformity relating to and
finance. particularly in such matters
as trademarks and patents, consular
invoices. bills OF lading, regulation OF
commercial travellers, admission OF
samples and many features OF the GUS
toms laws, bills of exchange, uniform
standards and various other
things"

From information reaching The Hague,
1t Is understood that the Germans and
Austrians have concentrated approx
mately $4,000 men on the italian from
tier. They have occupied strategic po-
%sitlons, in order to meet an attack or
to attempt to strike the first heavy
blow, In an endeavor to dishearten the
new combatants at the beginning Of the
campaign. The Germans constitute the
larger part OF this force, which is made
up of "a divisions of approximately TO-
900 men each. Only 10 of these divl-
sions are A%ustrians.
German and Austrian diplomats here
apparently are not perturbed by the
entry into the war of a new antagon-
list. 1t is pointed out in other quar-
tiers, however. that Italy's decision may
have the effect of curtailing Germany'S
supplies, large quantities Of which hith-
erto have reached Germany by way Of
Italy and switzerland.
