"The forces of the two sec tions of belligerents," says the Cloraale d'ltalia, "are not yet so unequal that they are likely to lose hope, If not triumphant o* ending the war with decorum. A feeling remains, therefore, to con tinue the struggle, united by re ciprocal military and political necessities. "This union especially Is close between the central empire*.
