The evident object of this move on
the part of Italy is to flank the Turk
ish army operating against the allies
in the Dardanelles region. 1t has been
predicted that one of the early moves
of Italy against the Teutonic-Turklsh
allies would be the dispatch OF an
army to cooperate in the attack on
the Turkish positions about the Oar

No official report has been received
of declaration of war between Tur-

describe the Italian ambassador as
about to leave Constantinople, but the

to be still in Italy.
