italy had been reduced to a state of
needless to add, he was held in high
favor and regard.
Sonnino speedily recognized on the
declaration of war that any attempt
to force his countrymen to align them
selves with Austria would result in
a national uprising, not alone against
the Government, but also against the
House Of Savoy, Even long before
the war to call any one in Italy an
Austrian was regarded not merely as
an insult, but as a legal Islander for
which damages could be recovered
in court of law,
Their Hatred Deep Rooted.
Victor Emmanuel Ill had, ever
since he had attained manhood, de-
clined TO set foot on Austrian soil
Indeed. 1t is dinicult to convey any
idea Of the extent of the hatred which
existed between the two nations.
Alive to this, Sonntno took advantage
Of the fact that the two Kaisers had
embarked upon a war OF aggression
to refrain from according to them any
armed assistance. OH the ground that
italy. by the terms OF the Triple
Alliance, was only pledged TO help
them in war Of defence.
But Sonnino did the next best thing
for Germany. He insisted on italy's
remaining neutral and prevented his
countrymen from entering the war
until nearly a year had elapsed. Our
Italian friends were eager and impa-
tent to join France. Great Britain and
Belgium against their archenemy
Austria. But Sonnino held them hack
on the plea that he might be enabled
to obtain by means OF diplomacy more
territory than through a recourse To
arms. He thereupon inauguratpi
through Berlin a series OF negotiations
with Vienna with a view to secure
from Austria the sacrifice OF certain OF
her provinces as the price of Itaiy's
remaining neutral throughout the
struggle.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-06-01

Sonnino's demands were exactins
enough in all conscience. Under heavy
and well nigh Irresistible pressure
from Berlin Emperor Francis Joseph
consented TO grant them. Then Son.
nino regretted that he had not asked
more and immediately proceeded TO d.
so, putting forward claims so extor-
tionate that Austria, which had not
then been beaten save by the Rus
SLAMS on her remote eastern front, de-
clined to consider them, refusing 10 DO

Emperor William.

Old Cruiser Baltimore

H)SsIBLY majority OF the

not recognize a historic naval vessel
moored for several days off Tomp-

The Baltimore is now the oldest

in 1883 and consequently is 81 years
old. Despite her years the Baltimore

nino was compelled, somewhat against

Sonnino. Although he had declared
war upon Austria, he had refrained
from proclaiming war upon Germany.
Prince Buelow fingered on at Rome;
so did the other members of the Ger
man Embassy and the swarm of Teu-
ton consular officials throughout the
kingdom, until their presence became
national scandal and they were
forced by popular sentiment in Italy
to take their departure. 1t was not
Until German troops were brought TO
the Isonzo front in order TO assist the
Austrlans in driving back the Italians
to the Piavo that Sonnino was con-
strained to recognize that a state of
war existed between Italy and Ger
many.
Always bred Irritation.
This peculiar condition OF affairs
was ascribed in Paris and in London
to Sonnino and during the last four
years there have been frequent causes
of friction between him and the Brit
ish and French Premiers and Foreign
Ministers. Thus Arthur Balfour, in
response TO a question put TO him In
Nllc ItouSc VI some
matter of foreign policy in which Italy
was not directly concerned, contented
himself with answering the inquiry AT
some length without making any ref
erence to Italy. Sonnino at once con-
strued this omission OF Italy's name
from the speech az an indication that
England and France had determined
to 60 back on the pledges contained In
the Treaty of London. and FASTENED to
che French and English capitals In
order TO demand explanations. In both
cities he found a considerable amount
OF resentment caused by his imputa-
tons OF bad faith. Nor were his de-
mands for renewed assurances OF ad-
herence 10 the Treaty OF London cal
culated to promote any personal SYM
pathy for him.
Without warning the allied Govern
ments or even the members OF his own
Cabinet he took upon himself to recog

the early part of last autumn it was

He GETS n Calling Down.
Lloyd George and Clemenceau are
said to have addressed some very
pointed language to Sonnino, charging
him with persistent trickery. double
dealing and disloyalty to the common
cause
And then again. on the very eve of
the assemblage OF the Peace Congress
in Paris, when there was a preliminary
exchange OF opinions between the
plenipotentiaries of the principal
Powers held in London. he showed
himself so hostile to the aspirations
and necessities Of the newly consti-
tuted States-the Czecho- Slovaks. the
Poles, especially against the Jugo-
Slavs. the Serbs and the Greeks-that
the course which he pursued after
wards in Paris cannot have been a
matter OF very great surprise to those
behind the scenes.
More recently still Sonnino has been
affronting the Powers of the Entente
again and laying himself open to new
charges of trickery by causing the
landing of Italian troops at various
points in Asia Minor without the APP
prevail or knowledge of Italy's allies
and anxious as ever 10 confront them
with a fait accompli. which he hoped
they might be willing to accept to
avoid further discussion and dissen-
sion. These coups have not been sue
cessful and the troops have had to be
reembarked.
Government Is Shaky.
Why, in view of Orlando's frequent
quarrels and public controversies with
Sonnino. has he retained him in his
Cabinet? The answer is that the ad-
ministration for some months past has
been extremely shaky and that Som
nino had impressed upon some OF its
mem bers that the only way by which
it could be saved was by emerging
nom the war with more spoils OF VIC
tory than those upon which the Ital-
ian nation had set its heart when II
started into the fray. How critical the
situation of the Cabinet is may be
gathered from the fact that it has not
ventured yet upon the rehabilitation
OF its army. which still is fed and paid

"We ought to urge continuance OF

SUDDEN CHANGE NOT LIKELY
Neither Employers Nor Employees in
Big Center of Industry Worried
Over Situation.

Capital and labor in the Pittsburgh
district are optimistic concerning the
labor situation, as q result of the abb
rupt ending of the world war. It Is
the opinion of large employers of la
Dor and labor organization leaders
that no material changes will take
place within the near future.
The large majority of mills holding
war contracts are continuing to oper-
ate on q wartime basis, with the ex-
ception Of a few plants which have
discontinued overtime pay. Signs
have been posted in some of the mills
warning the men not to be alarmed
at the sudden change In the condition
Of national affairs but to remain at
their posts.
While il Is conceded that inevitably
there must be q readjustment Of Ia
Dor in the vast industrial district, It
/ appears that the employers fully real
lie the grave dangers of cutting sal
aries or dumping war workers indis-
criminately on the labor market with
food at its present prices.
Fortunately the majority Of the
larger plants In the Pittsburgh dis
trict, which have been engaged in war
work, are so constructed and equipped
that they can be converted into peace
time industrial plants without entail
ing financial loss Of consequence.
