Rome, May 25.
Yesterday's celebrations in Italy on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of her entry into the World War against Germany passed off soberly. There were no boisterous demonstra tions in the streets of Rome, and it might have been called rather an entialy day than a pro-German day.
All newspapers were avoiding recalling that today's ally was then an enemy, by'stating that Italy went to war with the Hapsburg Empire. "Betrayal" by her former allies was the key-note of leading articles, which proclaimed that the "hour of reckoning has struck for the pluto-crocies in their dotage."
