Italy has no quarrel with Ger- many and it is doubtful wheth- er Germany would at present resent this action of Italy so long as it was made clear that there was to be no attack on the Fatherland. The immedi- ate result of this might be that the Dual Empire would be dis- solved, Hungary securing her independence and the German with element going in Ger- many.
