though negotations with Germany
and Austria still ar pending and
there is a bare possibility the in
fluence of former Premier Giolitti
may avert war, military prepara
lions pointing to ' Austria as an
inevitable antagonist are so
thorough and vigorous that a con
flict seems unavoidable.
Even . discussions among the
opposition parties virtually have
oased. Only the irreconcilable
Socialists whose deputies met iu
the Chamber today still oppose
Italy's participation in the war
and their attitude is believed to
be guided more by a deiire for
consistency than beciuie of op
position to war. The interview
between ex-Premier Giolitti and
King Victor Emanuele today was
followed by a longer one between
the ex-Premier and Premier Sal
andra. Signor Giolitti was informed of
all the negotiations that had been
entered into. This was to enable
him to judge the situation in tis
entirely and with the hope that
Parliament would be unanimous
in the decision wbioh Italy is ex
pected to take within the next few
days.
Another version of the terri
torial . conoeseions Austria is said
to have proposed to Italy has been
printed by The. Mattino of Naples
and telegraphed to the, HavaB
Agenoy. Aooording to this report
Austria is willing to oede part of
Trent to Italy, together with a
strip of territory in the regiou oi
fsonso River, whioh empties into
the Gulf of Trieste. Trieste itself
is absolutely exo laded as well as
Istria and Pola.
The Italian Cabinet is said to
have considered thest concessions
insufficient and made a counter
proposition demanding all of
Trent up to Brenner, together
with Trieste and Istria inoiuding
Pola,
The Havas correspondent says
the Italian Government has de
manded of Vienna definite an
swer withiu a fixed time. He adds
thgt in the best informed oiroles
there is no real hope of a peaoeful

dict has sent Emperor Francis

another war.

The fruit crop seems to be a
good one so far and here is hoping
that nothing will take place to de

to be a fair yield. Corn is look

to be ashamed of the publicity

long years without
any benefit. Finally
after repeated sug

was able to do my housework and today
