AUSTRIAN EMPEROR SAID TO HAVE BROKEN OFF ITALIAN NEGOTIATIONS Relations Becoming More Strained; Will Take Month to Silence Dardanelles; Fierce Fighting at Neuve Cha pelle; British Praise Heroic Germans; Russian At tacks Light Vnofflcial reports indicate that tliei relations between Italy and Austria! are becoming more unsettled. A Paris! dispatch says that Germans in the Italian riviera have been notified to] leave the country at once. The status l of the negotiations between the ltal-j ian government and Prince Von Hue-1 low, on behalf of Austria and Oer-1 many is now in doubt, the assertion; having been made that Emperor Fran- j eis Joseph has virtually broken them i off. The operations of the allied fleet! against the Dardanelles are being car-| ried on slowly and carefully and ai French officer is quoted as saying that I at least another month will be devoted! to the e'ffort to silence the Turkish for-1 tlflcations. The attack on Smyrna is explained as designed to prevent the troops there from proceeding to the Dardanelles, as well as to cut the com-1 munications of the Turkish army j which was sent against Egypt. An official British account of the I recent flighting at Neuve Chapelle gives j an idea of the ferocity of the attack. The town was laid in ruins. No esti-1 mate is niven of British losses but it) is saiil that in two sections near the town 2,500 bodies of German soldiers were counted. The Bj-itisli observer praises the heroic resistance of the outnumbered Germans.
