Italian Aspirations
Quarrel With Neighbors

Moreover, as Italian aspirations
and purpose quarrelled with those
OF the Jugo-Slavs at the northern
end of the Adriatic, they equally
collided with Greek hopes and claims
in the Egean and in Asia Minor.
Italian forces already occupied Va
Iona, the key of the Adriatc, but the
Greek claim to Northern Epirus, to
the Italian mind, constituted
threat to this base, while in the
-Egean Italy, with the frank support
Of America and the sympathy of the
Western powers, demanded the ces-
sion Of the Dodecanesus and Rhodes,
which Italy had seized in her Tri-
politan war, and on the mainland of
Asia Venizelos asked for Smyrna,
expressly promised to Italy in secret
bargains in 1915.
1t was true that the people of
the Northern Epirus were Hellenic;
that there was not an Italian in
the lEgean Islands; that Smyrna
was the seat of a great Greek
colony and the whole western coast
of Asia Minor Hellenic since the
very dawn of history, but these
territories had been promised by
the Western powers as the price of
Italian participation. In the recent
war Greeks had been more often an
enemy than a friend, and once more
the Italians saw with amazement
and anger their recent allies cham
pioning the claims of state which
had been hostile rather than cham
pioning their own demands.
1t is essential for Americans in
examining the Italian question,
which is, after all, symptomatic Of
all contemporary questions, to recog-
nize how utterly different IS the
Italian point of view from their
own. Italy entered the war after
having made a specific bargain. She
was free to make the bargain. Her
statesmen were bound from their
own point of view to ask the largest

italy's Early Stand
Bi Q Aid to the French

When the world war came in Au-
gust, 1914, Italy promptly pro-
claimed her neutrality. She decided
justly that the war was war of ag-
gression, not of defence, and she
was bound to the Central Powers
only in case they were attacked. But
Italy did more than proclaim her
neutrality. She notified France and
Great Britain Of her neutrality so
promptly that France was able to re-
call from the Alps those army corps
which just suficed to win the Battle
of the Marne.
For many months after the out
break Of the war there ragged in
Italy a tremendous battle between
those who desired that the Savoy
monarchy should remain neutral and

disasters in Galicia and drew to her
self many Austrian divisions which
might otherwise have been employed
in bringing Russia more speedily to
ruin. Again in 1916 her prepara-
tions for great offensive drew the
Austrians into a counter offensive
in the early spring which stripped
the Russian front of troops and
opened the way for Brusiloff's great
victory, which in it's turn drew
many German divisions eastward.
In the campaign of 1918 Italy
again fought we'll in the opening
phases. Meantime, her demands
upon her allies for coal and NUM-
tions were not promptly answered,
and at least it is the Italian belief
that this failure was responsible
for the great disaster Of Caporetto
and the consequent invasion of
Nenitia as well as the devastation
Of large areas of Italian territory.
By contrast the Allies, and par
ticularly the French, had sent large
numbers of picked troops to the
Piave front and lay emphasis on
this contribution to the salvation of
Italy.
In the final campaign of the war
the Italian army, in the second bat
tie of Piave, won the first clear-cut
Allied victory and broke the morale
Of the Austrian armies. Thereafter
when Italy passed to the offensive
Austria collapsed as military
power and Italian troops, by the
terms of their armistice, occupied
not alone Italia Irredenta, but vast
areas beyond.
The Italian delegation which
came to the peace conference

those who advocated entrance on the
Allied side. In an endeavor to pre-
serve Italian neutrality, Germany
sent her ablest diplomat, Prince Won
Bulow, to Rome, and he in his turn
endeavorcd by offering Italy most of
the Trentino to keep her neutral.
The battle was lost. Italy decided
to join the Western powers, who
could offer her and did offer her not
limited areas in the Trcntino alone,
but all of the coveted territory, to-
gether with Trieste, the northern
half Of Dalmatia, the Greek islands
in the Aegean, Turkish territory in
Asia Minor, and in addition prom
ises of still further accessions in
Africa.
We have to consider, therefore, in
weighing the Italian arguments the
essential fact that Italy came into
the world war not because she was
attacked, as were France and RUS
sia, not because she was indirectly
menaced, as was Great Britain, but
because, as a result Of cool calcula-
ton and sharp bargaining carried
on over many months, Italy OBJ
tanned from the Western powers a
pledge that they would aid her in
the acquisition of territories in
Asia Minor and Africa, possession
Of which would make Italy a great
power beyond all cavil.

Italy Strongly Feels
She Has Been BETRAYED

The Italian claims; now advanced
and fortified by past bargains, run
counter to Mr.. Wilson's fourteen
points. They do violence to the un-
questioned rights Of the southern
Slavs, the Greeks, the German
speaking population of the Tyrol
and the Turks and Greeks alike in
Asia Minor. Ilaly's possession of
the territory which she now claims
certainly viii make for future in
ternational anarchy or still further
wars, but, on the other hand, if a
strong Slav state rises in the East
ern Adriatic Italy will be menaced
IN this direction, while if Greece
realizes even the moderate aspira-
tions of Venizelos the Algoan ard
the eastern shore of Asia Minor will
become Hellenic again and Italy viii
find herself ringed around on the
Mediterranean by British and
French colonies and pushing new
states. Moreover, Italy sees this
thing threatening despite the pled gee
given her by her recent allies, who
have themselves acquired more terri
tory than she asks for as result
Of this war
Manifestly, then. there is an Ital-
ian case. Whether it be wise for
Italians, following the unhappy
precedent Of the now conquered
Austria to accumulate future trou-
BILE by annexing territory inhabited
by Germans, Jugo-Slavs, Greeks
and Turks; whether it be sound pol
icy to create new lost provinces and
a new Irrodenta may be questioned.
On the side of absolute justice in
the larger sense, the RIGHTS Of the
Germans, the Austrians, the Jugo-
Slavs and the Greeks cannot be
questioned.
Nevertheless, the Italians may re-
fleet with bitterness that it is OILY
against them that these new prin-
ciples are being invoked, and at
least the failure Of the Paris con-
ference to deal with the question
Of the freedom of the seas and its
consent to the French occupation
of the Saar are strangely neon
sistent with its course in the Adri-
attic and the Aegean.
At all events-and the point is
capital-ltaly feels herself be-
trayed. She is ready to return to
a German alliance if Germany shall
find herself, and her hostility to her
recent allies is expressed daily,
while no one Of the problems raised
by Italian claims at Paris has yet
been settled.

therefore came armed with the
specific pledges made by the West
ern powers in 1915 and fortified
by the recent victories of Italian
armies and by the possession of
much of the territory which had
been promised them. They had
made bargain. They had on the
whole fulfilled the bargain, and
they came prepared to receive the
reward which had been promised.
But in. Paris there can be no
question that Italian claims were
coldly received. France and Great
Britain, to be sure, were prepared
to fulfill their bargain. They had
agreed that Italy should have
Trieste and the Trentino and north
ern Dalmatia. AS to Dalmatia, the
population, with minor exceptions,
was unqucstionably Slavonic and
desired to be Jugo-Slav and not
Italian; nevertheless, if Italy in
sisted, Great Britain and France at
all times were prepared to honor
their signature. But Italy now
asked more than Trieste and the
Trertino and northern Dalmatia.
She asked the port of Fiume, ex-
pressly excluded from the Anglo
French agreement.
Could Italy hold Fiume as well
as Trieste she would have a stra-
tegic hold upon Jugo-Slav CONNER
cial intercourse with the world. If
Fiume passed into Jugo- Slavic
hands Trieste unquestionably would
suffer, since Jugo-Slav commerce
would pass infallibly through
Fiume. American sympathy was in
stantly and emphatically expressed
for the Jugo-Slavs. President Will

Blacklist Period Faced
By Transportation Corps

The transportation department is
facing its blacklist period. Yesterday
it enjoyed 'glimmer of hope-it had
succeeded in purchasing 1000 accom-
modations on the homeward- bound
Lcviathan, and in order to clnch the
transaction Mr.. f. c. Carter, chief
secretary of the Y. NJ. C. A., made a
special trip to the army transportation
Office at Tours. Unfortunately he
stated his business in the hearing of a
commanding officer, who was about to
leave the office in detection. The Of
ficer stepped up to Mr.. Carter, saying,
81 beg your pardon, sir, but do l un-
derstand you to say that the Y. M. c. A.
has purchased a thousand accommoda-
tions on the Leviathan?" "You do,
sir!" answered Mr.. Carter. To this
the c. c. replied: "I'm sorry, sir, but
you will have to cancel those accom-
modations, for the army will COM
mandeer them. We have thousand
officers ready to sail"
The incident illustrates vividly the
difficulties with which the welfare or
CARNATIONS are battling in their strug-
gle to secure accommodations on home
ward bound transports and passenger
steamers. At the present rate it will
be months before the Y. NJ. c. A. can
