NEW YORK. Feb. 25.--(11 a. MI
For a week there has been a growing
feeling of uneasiness in Germany over
Italy's eQuivocal attitude toward the
Teutonic-Turkish allies. Italy. appar-
entity, is making it known that her
future attitude toward the belliger-
ents is a matter that is open TO pur-
chase.
The Italians presumably intend 10
exact tribute for the enormous mill
iary expenses TO which they have
been put by the war. II is estimated
that defensive measures since last
summer have cost Italy S4OO.OO0,OOO
Although the increased trade which
has fallen TO ltaly's fortunate lot be-
cause of tho war has been considera-
bic, il probably has not equalized the
cost of maintaining an armed neu-
irality. And even IL it we're other
wise. all the S400. 100000 thus far
spent. as we'll as subsequent add
lions 20 the sum, will be lost unless
Italy exacts indemnities from the
belligerents.
Italy is not a wealthy country. and
She has just been through a costly
colonial war. lf she doesn't get value

the years TO come. The Italian peo-
