This Places Austria IN Posi-
ton to Again Demand
Italy's Help
WILL NOW ASSERT SHE
HAS BEEN ATTACKED
Belgians Claim Forts Com
mand City and Can Expel
Germans Any Time

Paris, Aug. 10.-France today issued
formal declaration of war against
Austria Hungary.
Though the Austrians are Germany's
allies and it was understood from the
first that the two countries were in
arms together, the actual declaration
of hostilities was considerably delayed,
and none has even yet been exchanged
between Austria and England, which,
like France, is at war with Germany.
The declaration here was not forth
coming until strong body of Austrian
troops had been massed along the Swiss
frontier, obviously in readiness to at
tack the French forces which invaded
Alsace.
1t was the general opinion that Aus
tria hesitated as long as possible that
the declaration might come first from
France, enabling the Vienna govern
ment to argue that the French were
the aggressors and that Italy, coRse-
quently, was bound to come to Aus
tria's aid, a an-Italian-Austrian
treaty requiring each of the three coun-
tries to help either or both Of the other
two in case they we're attacked, but
permitting each to remain neutral If the
others assumed the aggressive.
ThiJswas tie course Italy adopted in
Germany's case. Austria, IL was ex-
rceted, would now make d fresh de-
mand. The belief was that Italy would
still refuse its assistance and that Ger
many and Austria would thereupon de-
clare war against it.

COMMISSION BEGINS
ITS WORK in SEATTLE
Mayor Gill as Witness Outlines Causes
OF Trouble in Case of Strikes 1t Is
Employers Naming Police.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 10.-"The
trouble has been for years that the big
employers never thought the other side
had any intelligence or reason" de-
clared Mayor Hiram c. Gill, testifying
before the federal commission on indus
trial relations which began five.day
hearing here this morning
This accounts for tine meager re-
suits Of arbitration in industrial dis.
putes in the past. /"
Gill 3 testimony covered most of the
morning session.
Edward w. Olson, state labor com.
missioner, followed him on the stand.
OF the nine commissioners, only four
were present this morning. John r.
Commons, Of Wisconsin, acted as chair
man in the temporary absence of Frank
p. Walsh. The others present were
John B. Lennon, Illinois; James O'Con-
nell, Washington, d. c., and Austin b..
Gatretson, Iowa.
Walsh and Harris Weinstoek, of Cali
fornia, are expected here tomorrow.
w. 0. Thompson, Chicago, counsel for
the commission, is the chief examiner.
Gill was questioned chiefly on strike
conditions in Seattle. He declared him
self emphatieally against allowing en-
ployers to name the special policemen
or deputy sheriffs in cases of strikes.
i don't think it is necessary to
name special officers, unless an acute
situation really existed which became a
menace to life or property. No such
condition has ever existed in Seattle.
If there were such condition, how
ever, | would designate the policemen
myslf. have found there wes just as
much blame for minor disturbances in
Seattle due to the employers as to EN-.
ployes, and more so when guards, paid
by tine employers, were allowed to carry
guns.
Askd about employment agencies, the
mayor declared that the municipal EN-
ployment office was hampered in its
field because large employers, such a.
railroads, had agents who worked in col
luaion with private agencies to get Q
rakeoff from the laborers He did mo-
think the initiative bill to abolish pri
vate employment agencies was cOnsti
tutional.
Olson declared the women's eight
hour law, wherever violated, was pos
sible only because the women employee
generally refused to testify agains
their employers, fearing for their Jobs

WILL MAKE NEW MAPS.

Austria brought on the present war,
she should hurry it on now and make
IL as brief as possible, because should
1t be long drawn out she would be in
grave danger of division of her en-
pire and of sinking to the level of a
single German state like Bavaria, with
her emperor in Berlin, with powerful
Slav empire at her very doors.
When 20,O00,000 trained soldiers be-
come really engaged in war, nothing is
more probable than that when they fl
nally cease through exhaustion, some
new maps of the territory they fought
over will be needed. = Goodwin %

Kaisar Is in Charge.

The Hague, Aug. 1O,-The kaiser was
reported here today to be in personal
charge of his army's operations against
France, with AK La Chapelle as his
present headquarters. This had not
been confirmed.
1t was known definitely, however,
that another 100000 Germans were
being modified TO join the Invading

whatever Berlin official adviees might
say, that it was felt the campaign had
not opened auspieiously.
1t was stated officially that German
Minister Baron Won Grissinger had left
Nish, Servia, with which country Ger

The minister's departure, however
severed relations between the two gov

MoNTENEGRINs CONTROL
ONE AUSTRIAN PROVINCE

Rome, Aug. 1O.-Montenegrins were
in control OF most of the Austrian
provinces of Dalmatia tonight, accord
ing to messages from Cettinje.
This, taken in connection with the
fact that Servians were rapidly spread
ing over Bosnia, led to the belief here
that Austria does not plan a serious
attempt to hold its southern territories,
where the people are generally hostile
to Emperor Francis Joseph's govern
ment.
Both in Dalmatia and Bosnia, it was
said, the inhabitants received the in
vaders with open arms.
