-Premier Salandra said in his state-
ment that tbe European conflict broke
out suddenly without invoiving Italy
directly and in spite of her efforts.
A careful study of her treaty obli-
gatiorui and the causes a the conflict
convinced the Government that Italy
was not called upon to participate,
and she accordingly declared her
neutrality In view of tbe necessity
of protecting Italian interests, how-
ever, a declaration of neutrality alone
was not !sufficient to safeguard the
country against contingencies which
might arise in consequence of such an
enormous upheaval. Italy, he added,
has vital Interests to protect and just-
ly aspires to maintain her position as
a great power 5.4 10 preserve intact
her policies. She musttherefor., be
watchful, powerful and ready for any
eventuality. Thus the supreme task
of the Government was to bring tbe

govern the only safety of a nation Ls

gression, but must be ready to pro-

ON VERGE OF WAR I
ITALY AND AUSTRIA
Advices recetvid from the Austrian
frontier are that the statement ot
Premier Salandra in the Italian Par.
'lament had an immediate echo in
Austrian military circles. The Aus-
trian railway lines poured troops all
along the Italian border, and also Into
Pole, the Austrian arsenal on the
peninsula of Istria. It is estimated
that 200,000 men were"stationed along
the Italian border and 100.000 at Poi%
At the same time anti-Italh.n mani-
festations took plate at various point..
Eight battallans a( Italian troops bave
been ordered to Libya, to reinforce
the troops there and according to the
announcement at Rome, to be ready
for any aggression."
