ITALY'S PART IN THE CONFLICT.

HEART AND SOUL WITH THE ALLIES. ADRIATIC TO BE HER PARTICULAR SPHERE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received December 8, 11.15 a.m.) ROME, December 7. The. Prime Minister (Signor Bosselli), at the reopening of the Chambers, said:—"The whole country is now working at the production of munitions. The Huns are already well provided with these materials.'' Regarding the Adriatic, it had been decided, izi conjunction with the Allies, that it should be Italy's sphere of influence, in order to assure the triumph of her nationality on the other side of the sea. Valona would be tin; jumping-off point of Italy's future commercial expansion. The financial position was favourable, and the Government would be able to maintain the public credit until victory was secured. The Chamber, by an 0A r erwhelming majority, accepted Signor Bosselli "s motion to shelve for six months a Socialist pacifist resolution. Signor Bosselli urged the Chamber to do nothing to suggest that Italy was not heartily supporting the Allies.
