Rome, March 1.-THE Italian gov
regarding negotiations reported TO be
under way with Austria concerning
territorial concessions. Nothing has
been added to the semi-official an
rouncement that Italy has instituted
no negotiations, but simply has lis
tened to proposals emanating from
Germany through that country's am
bassador Prince Won Buelow.
There are persistent reports in
Rome that Austria has refused abso-
lutely to even discuss the possible ces
sion of Triest and would concede only
a small part of the province of Trent
May Delay Too Long
The assertion is made in military
circles that Italy now is prepared for
any eventually. 1t is apparent -
close observers that the situation for
Italy is daily becoming more compl.
Gated. The argument is being made
with persistence that she must soon
reach a definite decision as to what
course she will follow. The case Of
'TItFte ~ btilis iSitiiSI ", Iiti ASSIST
ance, even If offered. might not now be
accepted by the allies and the same
thing might happen in the case of
Ilaly. some Italian observers believe.
If she proposed TO join the allies when
her help was 10 longer necessary.
Consequently Il certain section of the
public is today urging the government
to throw in its lot with the allies while
there is 70 time and opportunity.
Admitting that Austria Hungary could
be induced 10 give up her provinces
Inhabited by Italians. as for instance
Trent and Triest. which is considered
most unlikely this would still not be
enough for Italy, according to the ar
suments of those VINO would like to see
their country fight on the side Of France,
Russia and Great Britain.
Partition Of Turkey
The possible forcing of the Dardanelles
by naval forces of the allies is regarded
here as u prelude to the partition of
Turkey. 1t is imperative that Italy have
a voice - any such political division in
order to claim her share. but this she
could not expect to do if she entered any
agreement with the Teutonic allies con-
cerning Trent and Triest.
