ROME, Aug. 22.-Events are rap
idly moving toward a crisis and none
would be surprised to see Italy drawn
into actual hostilities at any moment.
In fact reports are current that gen.
eral mobilization will be proclaimed
in few days.
Marquis San Guiliano. the italian
foreign minister, has received no re-
ply from Vienna to his demand for an
explanation OF the landing OF Aus
trian war munitions at San Giovanni
De Medua, the Albanian coast town.
, The demand was made because OF re-
ports that Austria had secretly been
arming the Albanians for war upon
Servia.
1t was only recently that danger of
war between Italy and Austria was
averted by the latter's promise to re-
compense the Puglia Wireless Co. for
damages done to its plant by bonn
bardment OF Antivari.
An entire division OF Austrians was
annihilated in a three days battle be-
tween Austrians and Servians on the

LONDON, Aug. 22.-Germany has
rejected the japanese ultimatum de-
manding the withdrawal OF German
ships from the far east and the evacu-
alton OF kaio-Chau, according to a
dispatch from Toxic. 1t states that
the Japanese fleet will bonn bard Kaio-

that no reply had yet been received
from Germany.
This colony OF Kaio-Chau has been
the apple Of the eye OF the German
people. Millions OF pounds sterling
have been spent in building a model
city at Using Tao, which is not only
port but a seat of government. It

fight. The odds against II are too
great. The British force OF battle

DIPLOMAT FIRED
ON BY A COPPER

Champaign, Ill, June 17.-Count Won
Bernsdorff, German ambassador to the
United States, narrowly escaped death
today when a special policeman fired
point blank at an automobile in which
the ambassador was being driven to
the commencement exercises at the
University of Illinois.
The shot went wild. Bernsdorff was
riding to the campus from the rail-
road. He was the guest of Arthur
Meeker of Chicago, and was escorted
by Meeker in his own automobile.
Vice President Kinley of the univer-
sity and Ewarts Green were also in
the machine.
As the automobile neared First and
University avenues, Michael Murphy,
a policeman employed in the neighbor-
hood by business men, held up his
hand as a warning signal. Murphy
was not in uniform and the chauffeur
paid no attention to him. Apparently
angered at the inattention, Murphy
fired shot at the automobile.
