Interested in Outcome of Capture of Constantinople.
Rome, via Paris, March 7.—The Giornale d'Italia, which, although it is not the official Government organ, represents the political majority supporting the Cabinet, in an editorial argues that it will be difficult for Italy longer to remain neutral, declaring that the attack by the allied fleet on the Dardanelles has brought up three great problems affecting Italian interests.
"The first of these problems," the newspaper says, "is the new rule to allow Russia access to the Mediterranean through the Dardanelles; the second concerns the equilibrium of the Balkans, and the third the partition of Asiatic Turkey, which affects the equilibrium of the Eastern Mediterranean.
"It is impossible for Italy to keep out of the solution of such problems unless she is satisfied to see not only the powers of the Triple Entente settle these affairs according to their interests, but also the small but audacious and resolute nation, Greece."
