BERLlN'S HAND SEEN UNDERMINING ITALY
Intrigue in Progress for Declara-
 ton of Separate Peace

London. May 9.-Germany's in- trigues for . separate peace are afoot In Italy as we'll as Russia. The char acter and the common inspiration of these movements are demonstrated by the exact similarity of the methods used in the two countries.
 In Russia the German socialisttc propaganda has appealed to the revo- lutionary and extreme democratic ele- ments in m effort to overthrow For eign Minister Milukon, who Is the backbone of Russia's devotion to the allies. Dispatches from Rome de- scribe exactly similar and even more mysterious propaganda at work there.
 Until few weeks ago Baron Son.; nsno, the Italian foreign minister. was regarded as above suspicion, and It was well nigh a crime to question any thing he had done since the war be- gan. He had been proved absolutely correct in his understanding of the situation in Greece when other for eign offices failed and if the course he advised had been followed Bul- 'saria would have kept out of the war.
 Despite this record. the extremist preeE has launched a great assault against him. alleging that he Is too strongly nAtionalistic, Is ultra-con- servative. and anti-democratic, and is opposed to the great revolutionary rlans drawn up for adoption after the war. These are precisely the same charges made against M. Milukoff by the same elements. and Rome claims to have positive knowledge that both campaigns are being directed in Ger many.
 Many interpretations are placed on the political difiiculties now confront ing von Bethmann- -Hollweg. the Ger man imperial chancellor. but 1t Is plain a large portion of the German press is actively agitating for a sepa- rate peace with Russia It's desire in this direction is 70 strong that the press Is chaflng at the chancellor's lorg delay in making his war aims known.
 Exaggerated rumors regarding pos abilities in the Russian moves flew thick and fast today. One story was that Sir George Buchanan. tho Brit Pelrograd. This, of course, is untrue. home. The latest messages confirm the belief that the new Russian gov. ernment Is getting a stronger hold on the people.
