ITALY NEEDS SUPPLIES,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. e.
Italy is displeased with the failure to
get from the allies, particularly from
America, the supplies she says are
needed and would swerye the war
balance. Apparently she is causing
a delicate situation upon which the all
lied diplomats are now laboring.
For several days the English
French and Russian ambassadors have
consulted with the Italian envogs.
The Italian viewpoint borders on
resentment that its pleas have been
virtually unbeeded.
Meanwhile the Italian propaganda
is trying to force the United States
to wage war against Austria, declar-
ing that Italy could win the war il
she had the supplies to wage the
Austrian offensive.
The allied and American military
men declare that Italy's position is
impossible"
