'Jii Italian feeling in the last three months there has been a remarkable change. The old enmity of Austria has been superseded by anti-Gernjan sentiment, which is growing in nii"er with the German methods. A strong section ot the Giolottian party are atestating tor peace at the price Austria is prepared to oiler, but are doubtful whether Ciolotti is prepared to wreck the Cabinet and come into power with an anti-war policy.

PEOPLE FAVOR WAR. an internal conflict. u;ar regardless of concessions. Received May 14, O.liO p.m. Rome, May 14. Troops have been called out' owing to the increasing excitement of the crowds parading the streets, who are threatening neutralists, particularly Signor Giolttti, who is a pro-German.' Those who favor war include the Democrats, Radicals, Reform Socialists, RepnbliViin Nationalists, and the supporters of the Cabinet. The neutralists include Catholics, Conservatives, and supporters of Signer Giolitti. The hitter's open declaration that war should be avoided and that Italy will obtain adequate concessions from Austria, brought an internal conflict to a head. A large majority of the Italian people condemn Signor Gkiiitti's mercantile attitude. They believe that war is necessary, whatever territorial satisfaction is given. It is believed that Italy must do her share in reestablishing the law of justice and humanity and crushing German militarism, which is a peril to civilisation.
