ITALY TOBE PLACED
UNDER MARTIAL LAW
AS FINAL WAR MOVE
Mobilization Orders Ex-
pected to Follow at Any
Moment, Although Rome
Hears Hostilities May Be
Delayed a Month.
ROME, March 20.


Martial law will go into effect through
out ItaIy on April l. While no formal
proclamation may be issued, the military
establishment will take over all the tele-
phone and telegraph lines and the rail-
roads.
After midnight on March 81 no infor-
nation relating to the movements of the
Italian navy or army may be transmitted.
This rigorous censorship has been ordered
by royal decree. While the decree covers
only the period up TO July 80, it will be
extended at that time to cover the entire
period of the war.
This is one of Italy's final stems In its
war plans. Mobilization orders will be
the next. These are expected by MANY AT
any moment, but reports are afioat that
actual Intervention will be postponed un-
I'll the end OF April.
There has been no change in ItaIy's
attitude, except in putting Off the in
evltahle action OF Intervention until
date when, II is expected, the Dardanelles
viii have been forced and Constantlnople
occupied, possibly with the cooperation
OF Bulgaria, and when the Russians will
have passed the Carpathians and per-
manenuy invaded Hungary.
The delay in Intervention is based upon
E~1-AHAAANg
Germany and sue for a separate peace.
This Is remote contingency. apparently,
but u Is by no means impossible and is
actually being seriously considered.

Second. Tho conviction that the undue
concentration Of economic power, result

combination, threatened that system"

= INObNAIi MdICn -
Two German submarines are known to
have been sunk by the Russians in the
Baltic Sea and two others have probably
been destroyed. according to a statement
issued by the Russian Admiralty today.
This statement, which takes the form OF
a review OF operations on the Baltic,
says:
Since the war started. German sub
marines have suffered to a considerable
extent. One was destroyed by the ar
mored cruiser Bayan; another, of the
newest type. was put TO flight by the
torpedoboat destroyer Letutchi; German
under-sea boat was sunk by striking a
mine and two others were probably de,
stroyed by Russians mines.
1T can be stated that the Germans
have suffered heavy losses along their
own coasts by the loss OF a number of
transports. In two months the Germans
delivered 10 submarines attacks in nine
of which the torpedoes fired failed 10
report their mark. In nine other cases
the submarines were driven off before
they could deliver any attack In only
one instance did an attack of the enemy
achieve any result"
