Turin Deputy Says That War Prepare
tions Are Complete.

Paris, April 5.--Giuseppe Revione. edi'
tor of the Turin Stampa, and also a
member of the Italian Chamber of Depu-
ties. told the Associated Press Saturday
that he had deep conviction that Italy
would begin war against Germany and
Austria before the end of April.
Signor Bevione said Italy's military
preparations were almost complete. The
Italian government, he declared, was not
waiting for a decisive battle in favor of
the allies, but desired to become en-
gagged in the war before such a battle,
as Italy would then be in a position to
realize her aspirations in accord with the
allies. He added that it was not pos
sible for Austria TO satisfy these aspira-
tions. because in part, they concerned the
Mediterranean.
Signor Bevione expressed The belief
that the Vatican would not be opposed
TO Italy intervening in the war. He said
also that it was not necessary for the
government to convoke Parliament for
the purpose of declaring war.
