Vienna, May 19, via Notwithstanding to
prevalent impression here definite indications
regarding the decision reached by the Italian cabi-
net as to ItaIys future has been received by
the ro-Hungarian government.
The Salandra ministry may decide in favor of
a peaceful settlement instead of war under any or
all circumstances, but this hope is believed to be
too slight to justify optimism.
The Austro-Hungarian government has gone
so far in the way of territorial concessions that
peaceful settlement seems, to outsiders, to be
quite possible if Italy minded. but the question
at issue appears not much whether the basis for
satifaction as to the Italian territorial aspirations
can be found or as to whether the Italian govern
ment already has determined to enter the on
the side Of the allies against Austria Hungary and
Germany.
