Italy. ~forsetful OF her pledges and
repudiaiing her national honor. has
been misled into perpetrating the
most shocking act OF ~treachery. un-
der circumstances which soon will
be explained in detail in this coun-
try. From a military point OF view
the Italians are making what must be
admitted to be a poor showing. de
spite the preparations which they had
been carrying on for many months be

the Triple Entente. Austria-Hungary

occasion arose whereby she might

leadership and fighting qualities OF

ever. are once more asserting them
selves against the Italian naval and
military forces. The political conse-
Quences OF Italy's unprecedented
treachery will. be ~far-reaching.
To sum up the situation. Il can be
asserted confidently that the position
OF Austria Hungary and Germany Is
most encouraging from a military.
economic and financial point OF view.
These countries have suffered from
the war. but their enemies have suf-
fered far more than they. The sec
