Switzerland. March ie. )-Political
pressure upon Italy to pledge Ita fu
ture epurqe either to the empires of
central Europe or tue .Allie * has bern
> augmenting for some time and is to
day believed to have about reached
its climax.
Accordiug to thoroughly . reliable
sources, Prince von Buelow.' Oermau
ambassador, has given formal as
surances that Germany will be able
to overcome Airdria's resistance and
iuduce Vienna to concede to Italy's
territorial concession! demanded
together with a Cree hand In south
ern Albania. In addition, the central
empires would further Itsjy's am
bitions in the eastern Mediterranean.'
The German also pointed out that
thc marine supremacy of Great Bri
tain and France, would have the ef
fect of crushing Italy.
( Representatives of tb-j Allies have
presented the matter lu quite a dif
ferent light. They have declared that
the defeat of Germany and Austria
Hungary was inevitable, even with
out the participation ot Italy. In
casu. Italy refrained from taking part
she would receive nothing fiom thc
Allies when settlements are' made
They advance the further argument
that with the conclusion of peace, ot
p9*?*^J*\^Uvereafter. the separation bi
iHungaryTrora Austria was to be e.*?
'peeled. This would lead to the ab
sorption of the Austrian provinces
of German nationality by Germany
and tho! consequent extension of
German dominion to-Trieste, which
thus would forever be lost to Italy.
In .addition Italy would be forced
to abandon Avonla and the Aegean
Islands.
What is believed iii high quartern
to be an authoritative outline ot
Italy's territorial demands and Aus
. Ula's position regarding them was
obtained today. The difference of
views, as thus indicated, appears to
be so grout that well Informed per
sons can, see no likelihood of an ad
justment .
Roughly speaking, Italy' wana
sweep of territory north snd east
which would extend ber boundary
around the ' northern end of - thc
Adriatic Sea a* fsr south as Flume,
on the eastern coast. Thst wruld ']
Include the Austrlau naval base at
Pola, and tho provinces of Trent and
Trieste. Concessions which Austria
is believed to be willing to make are
Insignificant, as compared with the
demands.
It ls regarded a? probable that,
under pressure from Germany, tb?
negotiations may be extended, and
JVuslria may be induced to gran'
cessions, but the belief in
r.bapon&ildo quarters is that Ike ex
treme Austria? conceaekgna would
<*? Insufflcleut io satisfy Italy.
""ly* demands as outlined today
11 f* set forth as follows: To the
.^^^ngjlssires th-? entire province
of* Treat, bringing her frontier to

LONDON*. March 16.-With thc In
creasing activities, Ol the British,
French ay? Jelgian armies.,the reap
peVance on the coast of Belgium of
British and French warships, and the
time drawing near for a Hg effort in
the west, the British public is follow
ing with renewed interest the daily
reports of operations.
.The Belgians, supported by the al
lies' warships, have consolidated the
ground they have won in the last few
fclays, while the British have done
likewise with the strip of territory
taken from the Germans near 'Neuve
Chapeile, and have recovered most, if
not all, of the trenches lost in tho
region of gt. Etoi.
Simultaneously there has beeu
heavy fighting north of Arras, In
Champagne in the Argonne, and in the
Vosges, in which both French and
Germans claim successes.
All these operations are believed
here to be preliminary to the general
offensive the allies will undertake
when thc ground dries.
The Russians are even more active
than their western allies. The Ger
man offensive against Przasysz hav
ing failed to materialize, probably
owing to the th?r:. tho Russians have
undertaker, tn? offensive, and, accord
ing tc 'heir own account, are advanc
ing suctessfully along both banks of
the Orzyc River and haye occupied
the village of Stegna, on one of the
main roads leading to Przasnysz
from tbe northeast. At this point they
repulsed a determined counter attack.
i rn- Germany however, say the
Russian attacks have hen repelled and
that they captured- 2,000 Russians.
?/ the Carpathians and in eastern
Calulu, the Russians report a series
of successes against the Austro-Ger
man armies, which, despite deep
snow, have kept up almot continuous
attacks in the Baligrod. region and in
some of the central passes. Jin_ Uv
hope cf relieving Prteinysl. The Rus
sians are closing around the fortress
und their infantrymen ?re within
rifle .shot of the northern forts.
From unofficial, sources it is learned
that the Russians have'resumed the j
offensive in Bukowina, and a battle
is in progress n jar the Bukowina
frontier along th $ StanislauKoiomea
railway.
In the Caucasus, too. th? Russians
again are on the move and, according
to Petrograd accounts, are pushing
the Turku hack along the coast of the
Black Sea and are threatening the
Turkish army at OKI, cn tbe Russo
Turkish border.
The allied fleet continues its opera
tions in, the Dardanelles and oiJ
Smyrna, hut no official report of its
progress has been made for some
drys. An Athens report says 'the
Br.tish cruiser Amethyst has pene
trated the straits aa far as Nagara.
The cruiser ls said to have been hit

for 8 days have been unable to get
their wine because lt was held up. A
number ot orthodox Jews of Charles

ed to Governor Manning, hut he is
unable to lend any assistance. The
difficulty Is that a number of families
ordered the wine together. It is a

some way out of the difficulty can be ?
found.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va.. March,

launched here today. A pruyer that
she might prove a messenger o!

Daniels was the priucipal speaker,
declaring, in answer to critlcls of
the unpreparedness of the American
na.?y. that never before in Its his
tory wa ? the navy. in better shape

"There never was a time," said
Secretary Daniels" when the navy ,
Was so powerful, so ready, so elll

fit and roady."
Secretary Daniels reviewed the
progress of building battleships aud i
said the launching of the Pennsyl- 1
vania was one of many concrete
proofs of the strength, effectiveness
und steady development of the navy
of IMS. He praised congress for
providing recently for an increase in
tho navy, saying lt showed its wis
dom o', the value of submarines I
when it authorised a big increase ot
that craft.
"No nation." he said, "ha? placed
inch substantial faith In the deadly

Apparently the reoccupation of the

brought the expected relief for a large
number of Americans and ether for
eigners asked the state department
to obtain for them transport' ?Jon jto
Vera Cruz, while the Swedl-I lega

ind "ghastly."
. Urgent representations, were made
luring the day to General Carran Ks
concerning his troops at Manzanillo,
whose activities hare caused foreign -
irs much apprehension. The Am^ri-1

commander bas discretionary power?,
sabling him to take measures for the'
".?lief of foreigners if an emergency
ihould develop, although dfnciala bo*
leve the presence of the warship will
lave a. wholesome effect on the situa
Ion.
Early in the day President .Wilson
