Hence is altogether untrue that Italy is on the Point of despatch ing two army corps to Aid the Angio French troops in Gallipoli or that she is drafting the main portion of her Fleet from the Adriatic. What itally really has done is to offer Britain and France the free use of one or More ports on the Adriatic Heel or Italy like Brindisi or Taranto so As to afford a nearer safer and More advantageous base than the actual one at Alexandria. Italy furthermore has undertaken to Send to the Dardanelles under command of the Duke of Abruzzi certain warships of a Type better adapted for work inside the Strait than some of the pre dreadnoughts employed there hitherto and England will withdraw these latter from Turk ish Waters exchanging them with Italy for police work in the Adriatic.
