Rome, via Paris, Nov. 18.—The Ttalian government has Jjoined the other Entente powers in protesting | against the action of Germany in pro- claiming Russian Poland an _inde- pendent state. Premier Paolo Boselli has sent the following telegram zol Premier Sturmer of Russia: “I heartily associate myself with . the communication addressed to you ! from Paris, at the close of the Allied | conference by my colleagues, Premi- ! ers Briand and Asquith, with regard to the pretention of Germany and | Austro-Hungaria to create a new | state out of Polish territory which | they temporarily occupy. The Italian nation has always nourished the most | sympathetic feelings for the Polish people and we have full confidence that the victory of the Allles’ armies ' will foil the illusory plan formed by our enemies in contempt of the law of nations and conventions in force. The royal government can only rejoice at the declarations already made by the imperial government guarantee- ing the autonomy of the united Po- lish peoples which has been the se- cular ideal of that noble nation.’ PEACE MOVEMENT REPORTED Joint Call From Neutrals to Bellig- erents About to Be Sent, Says Ob- scure Despatch From Switzerland. Berlin, Nov. 17, via London, Nov. 18, 10:45 a. m.—A movement for peace negotiations, according to re- ports from ‘““The Swiss frontier” printed by the Koelnishche Zeitung, is about to assume definite shape in the form of a joint call from various neutral governments to the belliger- ents asking them to send delegates to a peace conference. The reports as- sert that several European neutrals are already in touch with the Amer- ican government and that various bel- ligerents have been sounded on the proposition of a conference. According to this story the confer- ence would necessarily open its setting without an armistice being pro- claimed, interruption of hostilities coming only after it was establised the negotiations would be crowned with success.
