Conservative Element Fights Against Letting War De- . ; generate Into Struggle to Preserve British Empire.

Italy Refuses to Sign London Pact and England Holds Purse Strings Very Tight Against New Ally. BY CAMILLO CIANFARRA. ROME, July 23. The Francophil party, which now, as before the opening of hostilities, included a large proportion of the elements that for nine , months had steadily advocated war against Austria, is rather surprised at the ; strange course things have taken, and, above all, at Italy's failure to declare war on Germany. On the other hand the general public is anxiously awaiting developments in the hope that ultimately a way may be found to confine Italy's controversy with Germany to the mere rupture .of diplomatic relations, i Whether this is possible or not, nobody here is prepared to say. The military element maintains that it all deofnds on the course events take in th jast and the results of Germany's campaign against Russia. The reports reaching Rome via Bucharest and Sophia are anything but reassuring. There appears to be the greatest discrepancy of views between Archduke Nicholas and his generals, some of whom preferred to resign and return to the comparatively obscure life of garrison commanders in some distant part of Russia rather than lend their co-operation to a plan of campaign which they regarded as absurd and disastrous. Russians Disappointed. A proof that these reports are well founded and, in the main correct, is afforded by the attitude of the local Russian colony, composed of patriotic writers, artists and scientists. These Russians have now abandoned the policy of reserve and freely express their disappointment at the outcome

of the campaign, f According to the reports which have reached them, up to date, the army has sustained a loss of nearly four million men, and the' entire first line has ceased to exist. Russian public opinion believes that these appalling losses are chiefly imputable to the grand duke, who, after conceiving an admirable plan of campaign, failed to employ the large number of troops at his disposal wisely. Pear Army's Collapse. Italian military circles are skeptical about the ultimate results of the Russian summer campaign, and some officers even fear , a complete collapse of the Russian army. Opinions differ as to what Germany would do in this event. The pessimists maintain that in this case Germany would not hesitate a single moment to hurl against Italy part of the troops now engaged along the thousand mile front from Llbau to Czernowltz, and that only prolonged resistence on the part of the Russian army probably would induce Germany to preserve her former ally the moderation she has assumed. On the other hand the conservative element of the country which in May last was ready to support Signor Gio-

litti in his efforts to settle amicably

Italy's old differences with Austria, has now undertaken a quiet campaign to prevent the war for the completion

of Italian independence from degene

rating into a war for the preservation of the British empire.

That the government shares this

point of view and is determined to avoid on its part any complication

that might lead to a rapture with Germany is evinced by more than one fact The Francophil element, for instance, will never forgive Premier Salandra for having muzzled the press as far as utterances toward Germany are concerned. The newspapers are at liberty to say anything , against anybody, ; premier Salandra included, but Germany must not be attacked. The reports about German troopB participating side by side with Austria's in the war against Italy are invariably and quickly denied; together with any other story, founded or unfounded, tending to embitter the feelings between the two nations. But more significant than any other thing is the agreement signed on May 20, according to which- during the Austrd-Italian war Italy guarantees the ltfe, liberty and property of Germans residing in Italy, while Germany promises like treatment to Italians residing in Germany. Document Puzzles Editors. The publication of this document by a Swiss paper, and the Italian government's failure to deny it, produced here a tremendous sensation. For days the Italian press discussed the probable meaning of this document, but no official communication ever came to define its real purport. Besides, Italy has not as yet signed the famous pact of London, by which France, Britain and Russia promise not to sign a separate peace. Diplomats admit that a series of agreements exist between Italy and the allies, or better, between Italy and England, but they add that these agreements

will never be enforced unless Ger

many intervenes against Italy.

The probability is that Italy and England will never reach a final agree

ment. Some time ago a report circulated that an Italian loan of $200,-

000,000, destined to meet the expen-

ditures of the first six months of war, would be negotiated In London, and

later on the meeting at Nice between

the English chancellor of exchequer,

McKenna, and Signor Carcano, Italian

treasury minister, lent credence to the

report But the conference between the two financiers must have involved other questions than that of a loan: It is whispered here that England will lend no money to Italy unless the . latter signs the pact of London. The fact Is that the loan is now being subscribed in Italy alone. Added to that, the

king's proclamation to the Italian army issued on May 26 made it absolutely clear that this war was a war of independence and not a war of con

quest. Up to date everything points

to the fact that Italy is fighting her

own war.
