This is the first law that has

ROME, July 10y mail TO New
York. July 31)-The official group
of socialists in the Italian parlia-
ment has served notice upon the
government that, whatever the re-
suits of the spring offensive on the
Italian front, and whatever the pro-
gram Of the allies, the Italian troops
must not spend another year in the
trenches.
In order to understand the full
meaning of the attitude of the So
cialist deputies, it must be noted
that, during the last six months the
difference of opinion between the
socialist constituencies and their
representatives in the chamber of
deputies has grown so marked and
so bitter as to bring about an open
revolt.
The working men in most of the
northern provinces and in all of the
large cities have openly accused the
deputies of being too humbly sub
missive and TOO passive in viewing
the ruin wrought by war upon the
country.
In Appeal to Cabinet.
The result of the socialist agita-
ton was that the socialist deputies
asked the cabinet in the course of
debate 10 spare no effort TO end the
war before winter.
Public opinion in Italy has under
gone a marked change and the be-
lief is gaining ground that the issue
Of the war will be decided at the
peace conference rather than on the
battlefield. While the nation Is
united and stands ready TO bear any
sacrifices and while any attempts of
the socialists TO stop il now would
probably bring about a strong re-
action, yet there is a growing sense
of unrest in every class over the
economic future of the kingdom.
The heavy taxes imposed during
the past Is months upon the people.

den must be increased still higher.

II ternational News Service:
LONDON, July 31.-A peace made
in Germany will be only the initial
chapter TO a new war.
This declaration comes from A. ].
Balfour. British foreign minister,
who is perhaps the best fitted man
in Europe TO make such a prediction.
Analysis today of the Utterances
made in the house of commons by
Mr.. Balfour last night indicate the
trend England's activities will take
at the forthcoming conference of
the allies in the autumn.
This conference was called at the
request Of Russia 70 consider a pos
sibIe revision Of peace terms. bur
the future of Russia is so uncertain
that it is impossible to tell at this
time how much force the newest re-
public may be able TO put behind
her demand for modification.
Find Room for Hope.
Some of the discussion in COM
mons was directed at Austria-Hun-
gary, giving the impression that
there is room for hope that the
dual monarchy is not tied so tight
lR TO Germany that she could not
break away if satisfactory peace
terms were offered.
on the other hand the belief is
strong and general in official circles
that Germany IS in the fight to the
death and that the time has not
vet come to expect an acceptance
of peace overtures from her.
That the Austro- German peace
talk is intended primarily TO delay
Americas war preparations was the
prevalent opinion of the British
press today. Although the attack
upon France by the German cham
cellor has stirred up certain
amount of resentment, the inter
views given by DR.. Michaelis ana
the Austrian foreign minister are
not taken seriously.
The Daily News expressed the
opinion that the accusations against
France call for clear-cut avoWal
at the coming allied conference.
The accusations against France
made by the German chancellor last
Saturday included the allegation
that France had entered into a Sc
cret treaty with Russia before the
Russian revolution by which France
was to extend her boundaries If the
allies won the war.
