ITALY MAY SOON
 DECLARE WAR ON
 OTTOMAN EMPIRE

ROME. July 29.- Continued sue cesses of the Italians on the Austrian front have inspired on the part of the press a very hostile attitude to- ward Turkey because of the harsh treatment of Italian subjects by the Ottoman Empire. Although Turkey and Italy are not at war 1t is charged that the German element has per. suaded Turkey to abuse Italian sub jects in numerous ways and treat them in many respects as though the two countries were in a state of hos zenship be repealed, says the Gior- nale dItalia prints what is evident ly an inspired warning to Turkey be- cause of the shameful treatment of Italian subjects in the Ottoman em- pire, whose departure was delayed or prevented at the instigation of the German element.
 This newspaper declares that ltal- ian public opinion is no longer will ing to tolerate the provocations of the young Turks and is demanding that the government assume a firm attitude and invite the Porte to aban- don it's hostile policy. The people de- mand that the rights of Italian citi- zenship be respecaed, says the Gior- nale dItalia.

GEAR AGAIN ON
 VISIT AT FRONT

PETROGRAD. July 29.- Emperor Nicholas has gone to the front in Po- land. The departure Of the Car at this time is believed to indicate that the Russian general staff regards the conflict now being waged as the climax of the campaign. Previous visits of the Czar to the front have been followed by sudden effective of- fensive moves by his troops and the military experts here look for new and unexpected turn in the strife that will upset the German efforts to capture Warsaw. Officials of the war office today reiterated their con- fident belief that the German terrific attacks could not be maintained for long
 Great reserves of men and ammu- milton have been held back by the Russian general staff to combat the final desperate assault of the Austro- German forces on the Warsaw defenc- es. These are now being utilized.

CHICAGO. July 29-President Rey- holds. of the Continental Trust com; pany says Great Britain and France owe American manufacturers more than S1.OOO.OOO.OOO for war supplies, and that the amount is being increas- ed at tremendous rate He says the American banks have been carry ing the manufacturers. but they have the latters paper for their loans. A reckoning must come soon, he says, and it will probably be before the shipments become as great as they must before long. He can see no way for settlement except through the shipment of gold to the United States in large amounts.
