LONDON, Sept 9.-A dispatch, al- most sensational in it's possible signi- ficance, reaching here from Rome has created immense interest throughout England and given rise to more spec ulation than any event connected with the war for months.

 The dispatch which was published in one of the most conservative Italian papers this morning states that Berlin newspapers are openly discussing the probability of a considerable shorten ing up of the western lines to allow for the diversion of troops to the east ern war zones to meet the great on- slaughts of the Russian and Rou- manians which are threatening the existence of Austria.
