ITALY PREPARED

HOPES TO MAINTAIN PRESENT

home.-The Italian government is
prepared to meet any eventuality.
About 100000 soldiers are under arms.
including those who can be withdrawn
from the Tripoli and other places
Just before the Austro-Servian out
break 100000 reservists had been call
ed to the colors.
All the Notifications along the east
ern frontier have been put into state
OF war, while the various squadrons of
the fleet have assembled at their ma
val stations.
The German ambassador to Italy
Saturday asked to be informed as to
Italy's attitude in the event of war be-
tween Germany and Austro-Hungary
on the one side and Russia and France
on the other.
The Marquis di San Giuliano, the
Italian foreign minister, said he would
reserve his reply until he had con-
suited Premier Salandra.
According to the Messagero, during
the interview which followed between
the Marquis de San Giuliano and Pre-
mier Salandra, the two Italian states
men were in complete agreement as to
the line Of conduct to be pursued by
Italy in the present crisis.
The Messagero declares that II is
not question Of a defensive war on
the part of Germany and Austro-Hun-
gary, the other two members of the
triple alliance, and Italy has decided to
confine herself to pointing out to her
allies that her treaty obligations with
them do not oblige her to take up arms
In the present crisis and that she will
remain neutral. The newspaper adds
that IL is not certain this neutrality
will last until the end of the war, but
Italy will stand aloof from hostilities
as long as she is convinced that her
interests are not being infringed.
A strict censorship has been estab-
lished in Italy over dispatches to
places abroad.

the frontier at Schwinden was accom-
panied by artillery. Two squadrons of
Russian cossacks are riding in direc-
ton Of johannesburg, Is miles from
the frontier. The Russian patrol which
entered near Eichenreid attacked the
German guard at the railroad bridge
over the Warthe. The attack was re-
pulsed. Two Germans we're slightly
wounded.
A telegram from Koenigsburg says
a Russian patrol has advanced to Bid
erweitschen, near Eydtkunnen on the
Russian border.
The above information was given out
by the imperial staff. The staff at
the same time said that the invasion
near Schwinden showed that war had
actually begun.
An official statement says: "In con-
sequence of a Russian attack on Ger
man territory, Germany is in a state
of war with Russia. The French reply
to the German representations is Of an
unsatisfactory character"
Another statement declares Russia
has invaded Germany during n time
of peace "in flagrant contradiction of
Russia's peaceful assurances

viii not be long before diplomatic rela.
tions will be ruptured or war declared.
The German emperor and his ad-
Visers have maintained to the last that
they made supreme efforts for peace.
and that the last of the series of an
peais from Emperor William to EN-
peror Nihcolas was a telegram repu-
dating responsibility for the calamity
threatening the world on the ground
that while Germany was mediating
with Austria-Hungary at Russia's re-
quest, Russia, by her general mobiliza-
ton, was threatening Germany's
safety.
The first shots in the usso-German
war were exchanged between patrols
Saturday near Prostken, 120 miles
southeast of Konigsberg.
The only redeeming feature of the
darkest prospect with which Europe
has been faced for half a century Is
that Italy has declared her neutrality.
How long that neutrality can be main
tanned is an exceedingly debatable
question.
Great Britain's position already has
been defined by Premier Asquith in
the British Parliament. He declared
she is under no formal obligation to go
to the assistance of France in the
event of an European war. The Brit
ish government has made full pre-
parations in both services for any
event.
The present position, therefore, is
that Russia, France and Servia are ar
rayed on one side against Austria
Hungary and Germany on the other.
How long the war fare will be confined
to this plane 1t is impossible to fore
tell, nor can it be foretold whether
Belgium and Holland will be able to
maintain their neutrality against their
powerful neighbors, or whether Great
Britain will find herself compelled to
send an expeditionaray force to at
tempt to preserve that neutrality.
Another factor which has not been
given much consideration is the atti-
tude of Turkey, which. il she has suf-
ficiently recovered from the effects of
her late war with Italy, may be able
to throw considerable weight into the
scale. II is generally understood that
Germany has an effective understand
ing with Turkey which may lead to in
teresting developments.

GERMAN TROOPS
IN LUXENBURG
TWO GERMAN DETAcHMENTS
ARE MOVING TOWARD THE
FRENCH CAPITAL.

London.-German forces began the
invasion Of France without so much as
a declaration of war having been
made. Two German detacbments
entered French territory, moving in
the direction of Paris.
French frontier near the village of
Grey, between Nancy at Strassburg,
and another German detachment, pro-
badly the Twenty-ninth Infantry, in
vaded the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
neutral territory between Belgium and
Germany, and continued its march on
the French fortified town of Longwy.
A despatch from Brussels said there
was good reason to believe that this
force later in the day entered France.
The German force, which came into
France near Grey, which is 40 miles
from Nancy, is reported to have been
repulsed with heavy losses.
Apparently the German army is du-
plicating the first movement of the
Franco-Prussian war. II was on Au-

II would appear that Germany Is
taking the fullest possible advantage

mobilization over France.
The plan Of the German. emperor, ac-
cording to military observers here, is
to vanquish or attempt TO vanquish

can create serious trouble on her
northern frontier. 1t is supposed Rus

weeks.
