ADRIATIC PUZZLE.
SPEECH BY ITALIAN KING
PEACE OF EUROPE SHOULD NOT
BE DISTURBED
(Received Dec. 4, 10.55 p.m.) ROME. Dec. 1
The King, in the course of a speech from the Throne, affirmed that Italian aspirations in the Adriatic did not conceal any military design. The defence of the Italian populations on the Adriatic constituted an indisputable duty and right, but Italy had no Imperialistic ambitions, and did not intend that the peace of Europe should be disturbed. Italy viewed with the liveliest sympathy the rise of the working classes, which must tend to an intensive programme of production and the ever-increasing democratic co-opera-tion amongst nations. —Reuter.
