ITALY in SUSPENSE
AS WILD WAR RUMORS
FLY THICK AND FAST
Negotiations over Won
Buelow's Proposal to
Continue Next Week,
But Peaceful Solution Is
Not Expected.

ROME, March l3
The diplomatic negotiations in regard
to Italys position in the war are con-
tinuins, and the widest reports are afloat
in the lobbies of the Chamber of Deputies,
where the excitement and suspense arc
great
Baron Sonnino, the Foreign Minister,
held numerous conferences yesterday with
Sir j. Rennell Rodd. the British Ambas-
sador; Premier salandra, Prince Won Bue-
low, the German Ambassador; General
Guppelli, the Minister of War: the Chief
of Staff, the director of the Bank of
Italy and the Director General of Police
Despite the retcence of the Govern
ment, 1t Is now understood that Prince
Won Buelow offered the immediate ces-
sion of the Trentino and the reCtiHcation
of the Italo-Austrian frontier and pro-
posed that Italy begin mobilization with
the object of Fastening the consent of
Austria to the proposals. Prince Won
Buelow's offer was not accepted, but the
negotiations are continuing. The purpose
is that when Italy decides on intervention
the Premier will be able to declare that
he has vainly exhausted all peacefm
means to obtain the lost province and
hence war was inevitable.
The negotiations are likely to be CON
cluded on March IS. Further offers are
expected. since Germany is determined
to compel Austria to make the necessary
sacrifices to secure Italian neutrality.
Four Deputies questioned the Premier
in the chamber as to the negotiations
which, they declared, were essenng the
dignity and damaging the interests of
Italy. The Premier made no reply.

our crew took her over, but later ! of
fered the French a chance to sail their

But this was too slow for us, so we
put back a chain and towed her When
we were under way again we sighted an
other ship. We made 'ner out as the
English ship Eildalton and took after
her with our towlne jerking along be

with our prize. We landed and when
we found there was no particular danger
we rested and quietly coaled. 1t was

LONELY GIRL AWAKENS
FROM MOVIE" DREAM
Aspiring to Become Famous
Playwright and Actress, She
Runs Away to New York.

A lonely little Philadelphia girl who
| aspired to be famous playwright and a
! world-renowned actress, started on a
| beautiful adventure yesterday with a
few bits of clothing and a very precious
motion picture scenario in her suit case,
she made her way to New York to sell
the play and become the leading woman
in its production.
As che trudeed up Broadway to a pro-
ducing company's office, the world seemed
exceedingly bright for she was confident
that she was going to sell her manuscript,
IT'S Never Too Late to Mend" and the
fact that she had spent her last penny
for carfare to the city did not worry her
in the least. The manager talked to her
pleasantly about the script and when
he asked her to wait q few minutes she
felt that she had entered the portals of
success.
Aud then tragedy sent all her day
dreams dying, for what the agreeable
manager had really done was to send for
a representative OF the Chldren's Society,
who told the child that she must come
back TO n life which is to her colorless
and empty.
Agnes Carln. 1922 Belgrade street, who
IL Just approaching her 18th birthday, is
the disappointed actress. In New York
she said she was Agnes Molloy, who
lived with her aunt on Lohigh avenue,
near the Episcopal Hospital" She has
light hair and dark, hrooding eyes. Gold
trimmed spectacles which she wore when
she presented her cherished play gave the
wistful girl a quantity pathetic look.
Little Agnes was in the fifth grade of
the paroChial School of the Nativity

al pn nod ,f hafr ct
to motion picture theatres almost CON
stantly Her father and her three sisters
nd Il brother did not realize how much
success In the moving picture world
meant TO her, although they did know
that she started to run away three weeks
ago and that she corresponded with
producing companies. In the family are
her father, James Carn. and the other
children, Anna, 10 years; Katherine. L.:
old
Yesterday morning she borrowed a suit
case from grocery store woman az the
corner and filled it with a photograph
oL her dead mother and others relatives,
some pictures of motion picture folk and |
a row articles of clothing including a |
much cherished pair of brand new shoes. |
She started ostensiby for school, but |
after going TO tho church service she |
started on her courageous venture into !
the world where she was confident she
should find happiness.
Nhen her father and little Jimmy and |
the other daughters who are employed
came nome to luncheon they were sur
prised at Agnes absence. for she always
prepared the meal for them. But they
knew she liked to stay at the movie"
exhibits and We're not greatly concerned
Late last night, however, they realized
Agnes had run away They told the no.

Authoritative repoTLs reaching The
Hague from Berlin seem to indicate that
Germany with view to obtaining Italys
neutrality, has induced Austria despite
vigorous opposition by Emperor Francis
Joseph, to agree to make territorial con-
cessions to italy if Germany and Austria
are victorious in the war.
1t is understood at The Hague, how
ever, that although Italy has taken this
tentative offer under consideration, no
definite agreement has yet been reached,
and Italys decision is awaited with much
concern in all circles here
