Orders to this effect were also
telegraphed yesterday to the Italian Ambassador at Vienna.
German Hatred of Italy
[By The Associated Press.]
AMSTERDAM, May 23.--The Frankfurter Zeitung today prints a telegram
received from Vienna saying:
"The exasperation and contempt which Italy's treacherous surprise attack
and her hypocritical justification arouse here (Vienna) are quite
indescribable.
"Neither Serbia nor Russia, despite a long and costly war, is hated.
Italy, however, or rather those Italian would-be politicians and
business men who offer violence to the majority of peaceful Italian
people, are so unutterably hated with the most profound honesty that
this war can be terrible."

ITALY'S NEUTRALITY--THE LAST PHASE
The attitude of the Italian press since the character of its
papers were defined in the May number of THE CURRENT HISTORY
is here recorded. Since May 17, when the King, on account of
the heated pro-intervention demonstrations held all over
Italy, declined to accept the resignation of the Salandra
Ministry, the Giolittian organ, the Stampa, of Turin, has
dropped something of its feverish neutralistic propaganda, the
Giolittian color has gradually faded from the Giornale
d'Italia and the Tribuna, while ex-Premier Giolitti himself
has left Rome, declaring that he had been misunderstood in
having his declaration that Italy could obtain what she
desired without fighting construed into meaning that he
desired peace at all costs.
