Petrograd, (St. Petersburg)
Sept. 18—All of the Russian news
papers today follow up yester
day's suggestions with emphatic
demands that Italy join in the war
on the side of the allies. It is
pointed out, in plainly inspired ar
ticles, that were Italy to immedi
ately enter in the conflict such ac
tion would compel Austria to
abandon Germany and sue for im-
mediate peace.
The result of this would be, the
papers point out, that the German
people would at once realize the
futility of continuing to fight. The
German government, the articles
say, has withheld from the Ger
man people all knowledge of It
aly's attitude, and has apparently
endeavored to create the impres
sion that Italy is merely waiting
the right moment to range herself
on Germany's side.
BELIEVE ITALY WILL
ENTER WORLD WAR
BEFORE MONTH ENDS.

the enemy back at every point,
taking many prisoners and seve
ral guns. The Austrian forces, it
is announced in Vienna, have now
effected a junction at every point
and are driving the enemy back
from the Jaro-slav-Przmysl dis

Unofficially it is stated that the
French have been directing their
attention to the army of the crown
prince, which it is said has suffer
ed very heavy losses. However it
holds a position of enormous
strength and has repulsed every
attack. The German artillery, it
is explained, is causing enormous
losses to the French who have been
unable to make any impression on
the German positions at any point
The several attempts of the allies
to envelop the German right wing
have been repulsed with great
loss.
