War in Europe Shows Axis Strain Over Italy
A cable from Monday reports Germany and Austria angered at Italy for staying neutral threaten war if Italy persists. Austria may invade Lombardy. Italy’s million-man army could shift balance, while Belgium’s resistance foiled German plans. British, French, and Allied efforts expand as rumors of fleets and battles spread. Canada offers flour, British bread stocks grow, and volunteers pour in from French Canadians, Dutch South Africans, and Indian rulers. The Kaiser declares resolve, Liege news sparks Berlin enthusiasm, and Alsace sees French-German clashes. Predictions note limited early fighting with larger battles possibly around the 17th.
