ALLIES' RING OF STEEL.

United Press Association

Freemantle, March 26

Tiie English files contain an interview with General Ricciatti Garibaldi. He declared that in. the. course of a month or two the Germans will make a desperate supreme effort to turn the tide of fortune. The Allies will need every man and gun to check and overthrow the onslaught. An emphatically overwhelming majority of Italians favoured immediate interven-

tion. Italy could put two million thoroughly efficient men in the field, and 100,000 at the outset. Greece and Roumania will follow Italy's lead with another million. With Italy, Greece, Servia, and Roumania linked together and joining hands in the west with Prance and England, and in the east with Russia, the ring of steel encircling the dual alliance would he complete. Italy alone could strike the armies of v Germany and Austria at their weakest point. She could command both theatres, while the combination of forces such as he had indicated would inevitably hasten the termination of the war and stay the appalling slaughter and mutilation of Europe's youth and chivalry.
