It la apparent to close observers ' that the situation fer Italy la dally becoming mere eompUoated. The argument Is being made with persistence that It must soon reach a definite deoleioN aa to what eourse It will follow. The case of Greece Is being referred to; Its assistance, even If offered, might not now be accepted by the atlles, and the same thing might hap pen In the case ef Italy, some Italian observers believe, tf It proposed to oia tha allies whan Us halp was no lunger necessary.

The possible forcing of the Dardanelles by the naval locoes of the allies la re garded here aa a pm'uda to the partition of Turkey.

Ko official announcement yet has been made concerning tha Intention of the Itai la government In this regard. The near est approach to any definite indication la found In the following paragraph la the Clonals DTtaJta: "Italy can at no cost allow Us position as a world power to be lessened at the Conclusion of peace..
