Austria would use every effort he said, to avoid giv ing Italy reasonable grounds for war, and would seek to place Italy in the position of the aggressor If the nation decide to take up arms. The assault on the Dardanelles has been renewed, although it is not ap parent whether the allied forces are ready to begin the expected general attack. Four British warships entered the straits yesterday and bombarded the Turkish forts, which were sub jected also to indirect fire across the peninsula from the gulf of Saros. The result of this fighting has not been dis closed. Bombardment of the Turkish forts at Smyrna, Asia Minor, also is believed to have been resumed. Tliere is noth ing to indicate, however, that any move has been made toward an attack by the forces landed from the golf of Saros, such as is expected to accompany the next effort on a large scale to win the Dardanelles A long conference between the Italian Foreign Minister and the Aus trian Ambassador at Borne, Is accepted as a sign that negotiations are still under way between Austria and Italy. It was reported yesterday morning Italy had sent an ultimatum to Austria.
