DEALING WITH WEAK PEOPLE. ITALY TO EE HUMILIATED. AUSTRIA WANTED FREE HAND. , IN THE BALKANS, (Reed. 9.45 a.m.) ROME, June 3. Signor Salandra added: Austria and Germany believed till the last that they bad to deal with a -weak Italy that was blustering and not acting capably in trying to blackmail, but who would not enforce her rights by arms. Austria’s continued suspicions and aggressive intentions against Italy were notorious. Von Hetzendorff, chief of the General Staff, always maintained that war was inevitable on either the question of the irredemptist provinces, or because Italy was opposed to Austria’s wishes in the Balkans. Therefore, it was necessary to humiliate her in order that Austria might have her hand free.

Austro-Germany continually paralysed the Italian navy in the Turkish war by preventing action against the Dardanelles, European Turkey, and the Aegean Islands. Many Italian lives and millions of Italian treasure, were sacrificed to the fact that Turkey was protected by Germany and Austria from all attacks on vital parts, KING IN THE FIRING LINE. LONDON, June 2. A Geneva report states that the King of Italy is taking an active part in the war. During the attack on Montebaldo ho took charge of the 75 millimetre guns and fired many shots.

GERMANY’S DREAM.

OF UNIVERSAL HEGEMONY. IS NOW SHATTERED. LONDON, Jun e 3. Signor Salandra says that the two Austrian offers of May v/ere not made in good faith. Moreover, it in no way secured the military frontier by replacing that, which Austria imposed in 1866, and which left all the gates to Italy open to Italy’s enemies. In case of any dispute after the war, Italy was asked to address herself to Germany; she did not wish to be disrespectful to Germany, but her dream of universal hegemony was .now shattered;' :. V The world has risen, arid future humanity must be founded, upon respect for existing national autonomies. Among these Germany -wi ll hsfv e to sit as an ; equal, not as a master.
