M.—The j Austrian government is resisting ener getically pressure exerted by Germany to induce her to make territorial cou | cessions to Italy, according to a Geneva dispatch to the "Petit Parisien." I Count Andrassy, former Premier of Hungary, and several other statesmen representing the dual monarchy are re | ported to have gone to Berlin to dis cuss the problem with Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg and Foreign Min ister Von Jagow. it is reported at Geneva that if oth er negotiations fail the German Chan cellor contemplates a trip to Vienna in the hope that he may convince Kmperor Francis Joseph that it is necessary for | Austria to consent to the sacrifices ! askc.l. The Geneva "Tribune" says it is informed that Pan-Germanists in Au stria are in violent conflict with Czech Transylvanian deputies who are clamor ing for a rupture with Germany and the conclusion of a separate peace. Austria's Attitude Defined Rome, via Paris, March 19, 8.10 A. M.—What purports to be an outline of Austria's attitude with relation to the cession of territory to Italy is contained in a dispatch to the "Tribuna," dated Vienna, but telegraphed from the fron tier. The statement is made that Aus tria, without reflecting upon Italiau good faith, contends it is only natural that the dual monarchy, if she is ready to grant territorial compensation, should wish to insure Italian neutrality. For this reason the dispatch says, Austria feels she should carry out her part of the proposed agreement only when an Italian pledge of neutrality is fulfilled, especially in view of the fact that the cession of the province of Trent would imply a weakening of Austrian military resources with regard to Italy. Commenting u;on this report the "Tribuna" says the condition which Austria demands is absolutely inae ceptable and if maintained would make impossible any friendly agreement. No ministry would accept as a satisfaction of national aspirations a simple promise to l>e carried out at the end of a war, the results of which no one can foresee, the newspaper argues. Should Shun Mess of Pottage Rome. Via Paris, March 19. 1.25 A. M.—ln another editorial article dis cussing the position of Italy with re lation to the Muropeau war the "Gior nale D'ltalia" says: "Italy either can obtain peacefully immediate and certain satisfaction of her sa#re.| aspirations together with the protection of her great and com plex interests or she can recourse to the supreme test of arms. It is absurd to think that Italy, after seven months of preparation, when she is in an es pecially advantageous diplomatic posi tions, will be satisfied with the Biblical mess of pottage or less—mere promises. Must Protect National Interests "However negotiations go, the great national interests must be pro tected at any cost. This is the firm will of the country and the duty of the gov ernment. For fifty years Italy made great sacrifices to be an element of pea e in Europe. The equilibrium and peace of the continent were broken through the fault of other? against Italy's desire and without consulting her. Others have the responsibility for the present terrible crisis, but Italy would be unworthy if she did not issue with honor and advantage from the conflict. "Greece. Rumania and Bulgaria are awaiting Italy's move anj will follow suit. Thus Italian influence is great at this moment, which must be seized as it is in her power to contribute to the formation of a new international ar rangement '' In the day of your prosperity be joy ful. but in the day of adversity con sider.
