Some hitherto. unpublished details of vital historic interest
about the part played by Italy on the eve of the preat war towards
the salvation of France were divulged recently in .the narrative
which Senator Guglielmo
Bulletin |’Informazione:

“Germany knew we would
the liberty ‘of Europe, nor,

not back her Savage attack against
in faet,-did she attribute much
_ importatece to.our neutrality, Her game was far deeper and more
treacherous, Germany wanted Ttaly to leave France in doubt as
to Italian intentions. ‘

“On the morning of July 80, 1914, one day before Germany
declared war upon Russia, and two days before she declared war
upun France, the Marquis di San Giuliano, Italian minister of
foreign affairs, informed the French ambassador, M, Barrere, that
Italy would not rally to Germany’s side in a war of aggression.
This assurance was telezraphed immediately to Paris, but was
insufficient ‘to reassure France completely,
there was no official declaration of neutrality,

“On August 2, two days before England declared war against
Germany, the Italian fovernment decided on a policy of neutrality.
Our ambassador being then absent from Paris, the news was
forthwith communieated to our charge d'affaires in a despatch
which arrived at one o'clock in the Morning, Without a moment's

Italian diplomat to rouse himself at that unearthly hour. But “no
sooner had M, Viviani perused the despatch than he pave full vent
to his emotion. a Co
“Before another half-hour had elapsed. the French prime
minister had already ordered the mobilization- of near] ¥.a million
-men whom France would otherwise have-been obliged to maintain
on her eastern and southern frontiers to guard: against possible
attacks from Italy,
“It was that million men which arrested the German advance,
won the Battle of the Marne, and saved France from being trodden
under the savage heel of German militarism, Had there been the
faintest hesitation, the slightest vacillation on Ttaly’s part, had any
Italian politician done a tenth part of what Bismarck did when he
tampered with the famous Ems telegram which resulted in the
Franco-Prussian war, Franee would. not have dared to withdraw a
. Single soldier from the Italian frontier, and the world’s history
would have taken a stupendously different course,” a
