The flnnl document In tho green
book liwued by tho Italian govern
ment is tho nolo ent by Foreign
Minister Sonnlno to the Duke of At
arna, Italian ambaMader at Vienna,
Annulling tho triple alliance. Tho
Mote, -which wan communicated to
Tttron Rurlan, Austrian foreign mln
later, on May 4, eloaes with the fol
lowing slatemnnt:
''All cfforla of the Italian povern
mnt encounter tho resistance of tho
Imperial Austrian government, which
after several months decides to con
eede only the special Interest of
Italy in Arlona and to bromine suffi
cient concession of territory in Trent,
n concewlon which J&mH? or no nor
mal wlinlon of tho alttmtton from an
ethical political or military jwlnt of
S'taw, Thla eonoepslon, moreover,
Veald be accomplished except at an
HnHeCormlned period; that is to say,
onh; at tho end of the war.
"In vinw of this condition or af
falra tho Italian government must
renounce tho hope of reachlnK an
gieme!tt and sees itself constrain
ed to withdraw all propositions ot
settlement. It is equally useless to
Hive a formal appearanco to an al
liance which wou'd he destined only
to dlMlmulate reality of continued
mlstrusU Thalia why Italy, confi
dent In It rjgfct affirms and pro
clalnw It will' resume from now on
Its entlro liberty ef actleu and de
clares null and hereafter without ef

TREMENDOUS
OS s
UPON
INVADERS
PKTKQailAD, May SI An offl-
clnl statement referring to the reci
cnt flghllUR In tho Carpathian moun
tains was issued today nnd reads:
"In the tlBhllnk of tho past three
weeks, since the boslnnlnK of the
operations of the enemy In the Car
pathians, their losses on Mar 10, May
11, Mny 12 nnd May 13, during which
tho fighting lost some ot Its Inten
sity, averaged tOiOOO a day. On the
other seventeen days they were much
heavier especially during tho period
between May 16 and May 19. when
they amounted to several tens of
thousands dally.
"Certain regiments of the enemy
have been reduced to a single com
pany. Their total losses during this
period, Including 0,000' prisoners
captured by us, have undoubtedly
reached to one fourth or perhaps
ono third of their total strength.
"The score of guns lost by tho
enemy In this righting is as nothing
compared with their total number,
but It must bo borna In mind that
owing to lack of horses and the scar
city ot projectiles between two and
three million shells having been ex
pended by the enemy during this
period the enemy left behind on old
positions several hundred guns. This
circumstance has bellied to- eQuallte
tho odds which were in ravor of tho
enemy."

tanln by a Ocrmnn submarine, na a
raiilt of which three Swiss cttlxcna
lost their lives.
Tho government la awaiting knowl

Washington note on this subject so
as to better nblo to chooio a wise
course of procedure,
The Swiss think well of President
Wilson's note, but to most news
papers It appears to bo hardly strong
enough.
Tho argument Is being made hero
by Swiss observers that tho Swiss
representations will have groat
weight, because behind them there
will ho a Swiss army 500,000 strong.'
Records made public shortly after
tho loss of the Lusltanla showed that
John Fcnwlck, a Swiss citizen, was
among those who lost their lives.
The list of nationalities on board the
Lusltnnla shows that in the second
cabin there were two persons whose
nationality waa not known. It also

Meteor October IS, and brought into
