"Interference of Irresponsible persons in (jovern mental action regarding the army is a grave danger." said the perioral, peri-oral, discussing" militarism. "Germany has shown us to "what a catastrophe may lead." ijenrnl Alhriece. minister of war, spoke after General Robilant bad completed his address, say 1 my that he, himselt, wad "always responsible for everything regarding re-garding the army." Foreign Minister Mnzzlotti protested aiialnst the recent speech of Premier Clemenceau In which he said the Serbians Ser-bians and Jougo-Slavs had fought bravely for the cau.se of the allies. "The -Serbians did, but the Jugo-Siavs fought against tin and the allies to the bitter end." declared the senator. Senator Clraolo, president of the Italian Red Cross, said too much importance must not be attached to the impromptu speech of M. Clemenceau, who, he declared, de-clared, was an old and tried friend of Italy, and who had upheld tho Italian cause a.-, vigorously as lie had that of Alsace -.Lorraine. |
