ITALY AND AUSTRIA
on VERGE Of WAR
ieoI ONS CONSUL ADVISE THEIR
SUBJECTS TO LEAVE ITALY,
LOOK FOR GERMAN SPIES.
GREECE MAY JOIN ALLIES
GTeek Minister of Marine Quoted tc
Effect That Country Had Receiv.
ed All Guarantees

London.-The relations between
italy and Austria are believed to have
reached an acute stage. A Rome dis
patch says Austria and German sub
JectS have been advised by their con-
slls to leave Italy in the shortest pos
sibie time and that number of Ger.
mans who recently arrived in Italy
are being watched because of a suspi
clon that they are military spies.
There have been reports for some
days that Germany's efforts to secure
the continued neutrality Of Italy by
inducing Austria to cede Trent and
other territory to her were not meet
Ing with success. Italy, it was said
was demanding that the territory be
handed over to her Immediately, but
that the Teutonic allies desired to
make the transfer after the war.
Following this came reports that
Austria had commenced strengthening
her southern frontier, and according
TO dispatch received in Paris from
Rome, Italian officers of all arms be-
longing to the first line, who have been
on half pay, have been called to the
coloFs In military circles here this
order is considered significant, it being
contended that these officers belong
to the public administration, from
which they would not be called un-
less the situation was serious.
No Austrian news on the subject is
available in London, the censor in that
country, it is said, having prohibited
comments.
There also are reports that Greece Is
preparing to adopt more active atti-
tude. Following a series of prolonged
cabinet meetings at Athens, the Greek
minister of marine is quoted as having
said that the Greek government had re-
ceived all guarantees, and to have in.
dictated that the country was about t.
engage in some enterprise.
AS the chief objection to former Pre-
mler Venizelos' policy of helping the
allies against Turkey was declared to
have been that Greece had no guar.
antees that she would receive adequate
compensation, this statement of the
minister of marine is considered in
high circles in London as an intima-
ton that the new Greek government
is now satisfied with the allies guar.
anteeS.
