Washington. May 31-The Italian
mission visited Annapolis today and
later returned to Washington. Recent
events in italy are being followed with
the most intense interest by members
of the mission who say that the fall OF
Trieste now is inevitable.
Trieste, however. is viewed as sida
issue to the main offensive which is
now directed toward opening up the
road to Leibach, which, in turn, opens
the road to Vienna. Sharp mountains
stand before the Italian advance and it
is estimated will cost 100000 men to
pass them. General Cadorna. it is
thought is seeking to avoid this loss by
going around.
Rome, May 31.--Further gains by
the Italians on the Trieste front Is
announced in today's official state
