WASIHNWTON. May Tho Ital ian f mb.ifr.--y Tur.'Jay niht iravo tr.it a lcnk'thy statement received from it' government in Rome, f xT'Iainln- tin rP3?rns for Italy's rntratve into th' war and summarizing the n-"t-ti atio:is with Austria-Hungary prior to ths declaration of h-stilitks. TIu vtat'-mc:nt in part follow?: "Tho. triple allian va:? yentially dfiff'nMvr and designed solely to prefervp the status quo. or. in other words, the c;uilihrium in Kurope. That thos- were its only objects and purro- is -tallih-d ly th I -t t r and I i r i t of th treaty as wall as ly the Intentions clearly d.rrihed and .-t forth in ollh i;il acts of the minislfTH who created the alliance :ind confirmrd and renewed it in the intercut of peace whih always has inspired Italian policy. "The treaty, as lorn: as its intents .'t'Hl purpose had heen loyally interpreted and regarded and as lon as it had not heen use, as a pretext for agression against otln rs. greatly contributed to- th elimination and settlement of causes of conflict and for many years assured to Kurope the in estimable t.enefits of peace. Ignored Peace I'ropoN.

"Hiit Austria-Hungary severed treaty by her own hands. She

jeeted the response of Servia, which pave to her all the satisfaction she con Id legitimately claim. She refused to listen to the conciliatory proposals presented by Italy in conjunction with othr powers, in the effort to spare Kurope from a vast eonlliet certain to drench the continent with blood and to reduce it to ruin beyond the conception of human imagination, and finally she provoked that con'lict. "Article one of the treaty embodied the usual and necessary obligation of Fuch pacts- -the pledge to xcharro views upon any political and economic questions of a general nature that mlKht arise. Pursuant to its terms nono of the contracting parties hwd the ri'ht to undertake, without a previous agreement, any sep the one(iuence ,f whi( h miulit impose a duty upon the other signatories arising out of the '. lliance. or which would in any way whatsoever encroach upon their vital Interests. This article was violated by Austria-Hungary when she sent to Servia her note .dated July I::. 101 4, an action taken without the previous assent of Italy. Warned Int July. "An far back as the beginning of July. tho Italian government, preoccupied by the prevailing feeling in Vienna, caused to be laid before the Austria-Hunearian government a nvtmber of suggestions, nf' vising moderation and warnimr It of the impending danger of an Kuropean outbreak. On a number of occasion Italy f,ae Austria to understand, in friendly but clear terms, that the independence (f Servia was considered bv Italy as essential to Italkan equilibrium. Au-tria-Hunuary was further advised that Italy could neer permit that equilibrium to be disturbed by her prejudice. "Therefore, when A t:st ria-Hungary ignored tho usual practices and menaced Servia by sendins her an ultimatum without iu any way notifying the Italian government of what she proposed to do, indeed leaving that povernment to learn of her action through the press rather than through the usual channels of diplomacy,, when Austi ia-H unpary took this unprecedented course she not only severed her alliance with Italy, but committed an act inimical to Italian interests. The' Italian uovernment has obtained trustworthy information that the complete program laid down by Austria-Hungary with reference to the Balkans was prompted by a desire to decrease Italy's economical ami political intluence in that section and tended directly and indirectly to the subservience of Servia to AustriaHunpar.. the political and territorial isolation of Monteneuro and the isolation and political elecadence of Honmania. '"This attempted eliminution of the Influence of Italy in tin- Balkans would have been brouuht about by the Austria-Hungarian program even thouph Austria-Hungary had no intention of makinp further territorial acquisitions. Furthermore, attentiem should be called to the fact that the Austria-Ilunsrarian ' zo crnment had assumed the solemn obligation of prior consultation of Italy as re-quired by the special provisions of article VII. of the treaty of the triple alliance which, in additien to the obligation of previews apreement, recognized the ri'-iht of rompensition to the other contracting parties in ease one shoulel occupy temporarily, or permanently, any section of the Balkans. Hot Reluctant Aequie-conce. "To this end the Italian government approached the Austria-Hun'-rar-lan povernment immediately upon the tnaupuration of A ustria-Hunuarian hostilities and Servia had succeeded in oMaininp re'Iuctant acquiescem e in the Italian represent itions. Corn-creations were Initiated imrr.edi; tely after July for the purpose ef u-i:m; a new lease of life to the treaty which had been violated and thereby annulled by the act of Austria -1 unwary. The conversations were renewed, with additional propositions as the basis. In December. 1 ! 1 4 . Count Ib-rciitold. the Austria-Hunparian minister for foretirn affairs, was Informed that the Italian povernment consider, d it necessary to proceed without de-lay to an exchange ef views and consequently to concrete negotiations with tho Austria-Hungarian love-mment conrernlnp the ceunplex situation arisinc nut of the conflict which that poernment hail pri"voked. Count Ben-h-told at tirst refused. He declared that Ihe time had not arried f neuiiatleins. Subsequently, upon our rejoinder, in which the (i r:;i ui government united. Count Be rchiold apre i to exchanpe :',. as supested. We promptly eleeJared. as o:ie eu! eur fundamental e.bjects, that the compensation on which the au reerii' i.t houbl be V.;"if-.l should relate t ter-

that inwas and ;r'.o in-ra-e

inp amenp them an assurance of entire liberty ef action in the r.alkan. We replied that the offer was not acceptable and then presented the minimum cences-ions which eould :n ct in part our national aspirations. Th s" demands ceunprised: Tb ext.. n-i"ii eq the boundary In Tr ntino; a n boundary o?i the. Isonzo; sp- ejal provision for Trie ste; the .--,:-.n e,f ertain islands nf th Cur. lari arcliipf lao; the abandonment of Austrian laims in Albania, and the- recognition of our pe.s-u ssion ef Avalona an! the islands tf the Af tjcm sea which we eccupied elurinp our war with Turkey. "At first our demands wee categorically rejected. It was until an

other month of cen ersation A ust ria-Hunua ry was induced to crci.'e the zone of territory she prepared to cede in the Trcntino then onlv as far as Mczz'-Lomb

J thereby excludinp the territory

such as the Valle 1 1 Sc", Val 1)1 las o and Val Di Au'pezo. In aldition. the- Austro-Hur.parian poern-nit-nt maintained its extermination nt to make the cession effective before the end of the war. While admittinp the pessibility ef recepnizinp some of eur intere-sts in Avalona and prantinp the abo-e mentioned te rriterial cession in the Trentino. the Austro-IIun-parian penernment persisted in its oppeition to all our other demands, epe-eially those re pardinp the boundarv of the Uonzo, Trieste and the islanels. Austria 'IVmporlinp. "The attitude assumed by AustriaHunu.'.ry freun beinnin.p1 ef pece-mber until tlie end ef April made it evident that she was atte mptinp to temporize without corr.inp to a cemclusion. l-re-eb r such circumstances, Italy was contrewted by the elanper of iosinp forever the opportunity ef realizing her aspirations based uj)f)n traelition. nationality, and lie-r elesir; for r. safe pesition in the Adriatic, while other contingencies in the Kuropcan conftie-t menaced her principal interests in edher seas. Hence. Italy faced the ne cessity anel eluty of rcove rinp that liberty ef ae'tien to which she was'entltleal and of seekinp protection eif her interests apart from the ncpot iatiems which had been drappinp uselessly alonp for live rimnths and without reference to the treaty of alliane e which hael virtually failel as a result of its annulment b.v the action ef AustriaHungary in July. 1911. "It would not be out of place to observe that the- alliance havinp terminateel and there existing ne longer any reason fer the Italian people to be" Pom d by it, thouph they had loyally s,teed by it for so many years beeause eif Juir desire for pe-ace, there naturally tevivel in the public mind the prievances apainst Austria-Hun-pary which for so many years had been oluntarily repressed." While the treaty of alliance containeel no formal apreement for the use e)t- the Italian lanpuape er the maintenance of Italian traditiem and Italian civilization in the Italian provinecs of Austria, ne e rtludcss if tlie alliance was te be effective in preservinp peace and harmony it was indisimtaidy ebar that Austria-Hungary, as our ally, shoulel have taken into account the moral oblipation of re-sjiectinp what constituted some of the- most vital interests ef Italy. Instead the constant pedicy of the Austria-Hunparian .government was te destroy Italian nationality and Italian civilization all alonp the coast of the Adriatic. "A brief statement of the facta and e)f the tendencies, well knewn te all will suffice; substitution ef ollicials of the Italian race by officials of other nationalities; artificial immipration of hundreels q families ef a eiii'ferent natiemality ; replaeement e;f Italian by other labor; exclusion frem Trieste by the eleerces f Prince Hedienlohe ef . ernidoyes who were subjects ef Italy; de-natiemalization of the judicial administratlem; refusal ef Austria te j( uniit an Italian university in Trieste- whiedi formed the subject of dijdeunatic neptiations; elcnatietnalir.atiem of navipation companies; incourapement of either nationalities te the detriment eif the Italian anel finally the methetdical and unjustifiable expulsion ef Italians in ewer increasing numbers."
