GREECE AT LIBERTY
 TO AVOID WARFARE
Italy Re-afirIns Determination to Continue War Against Teutons

Rome, Tuesday, Dec. 6, D. m.- Greece into war, nor do they SUD- port any anti-dynastic movement in Greece, asserted Premier Boselli in his report on the war, delivered here to- day before the chamber of deputies. Premier BoselIi reiterated the deter imitation of Italy to maintain the war with her allies until the restoration of Belgium, Serbia and Montenegro was accomplished. This he termed "the noble and essential object of the war" At the close of his report the premier sent a message of greeting to "our valorous Latin sister, Rumania," trusting for her final success.
 The premier recapitulated the his tory of Italy's participation in the war and reiterated the reason which induced King Victor to enter into the struggle. As a proof that Italy was prepared to push her operations viz orously, the premier announced that there were now 2,500 factories work ing on war material, the workers being one-ffth women, whose partici- patton both in industries and agricul- ture was increasing daily. He de- clared that victory would insure the equilibrium on the eastern Mediter- ranean, which he termed one of the chief foundations of Italian policy. He said Valona would be Italy's strategic post on the Adriatic, from which would 'radiate her future commercial expansion in the Balkans.
 In conclusion he protests against the disme m berment of Poland, which he said was confirmed by the action of the Central Powers; against the deportation of Belgians, the bom- bardment of open towns and the sink ing of steamers carrying peaceful and unarmed passengers
 He reiterated the unshakable deter imitation of Italy to remain loyal to her allies and to employ all her en- ergies to insure the ultimate attain ment of victory.
