AUSTRIA AND ITALY
DISPUTE REGARDED AS SERIOUS.
LONDON, February % 27. The Daily Telegraph s ays that a serious view is taken of the Austro-Italian dispute. which is causing a good deal of anxiety in diplomatic circles. It scouts the possibility of an armed conflict at the present juncture owing to Austria’s absolute disarmament, and says: “ Th e recall of the Italian Ambassador does not signify a diplomatic rupture, but the pos sibi’ity of his not returning to his post for the time being cannot be ruled out, because behind every smouldering question is a potential cause of conflict of a serious magnitude. Austria has the sym pathy of the Little Entente in any grievance against Italy or Hungary, and furthermore is assured of German sympathy in the case of Southern Tyrol, as well as French sympathy in any quarrel with Hungary. It is a complex and curious grouping, fraught with no inconsiderable perils to the peace of Danubian Europe and a good deal else.”
