ITALY NOW IN
THR0ES OF CRISIS
Decision of Neutrality Has
Divided Nation-May Not
be able to Hold Position.

Rome. Aug. 17.-Italy's position is
becoming daily more embarrassing.
The declaration of neutrality has
divided the nation into two parties.
One composed of radicals and social
lists, the traditional enemies of Austria,
completely approves of the govern
ment's decision. The other, compris-
advocates unconditional support Of
Austria and Germany
Every party, whatever it's sym
pathies, admits that Italy is going
through the worst crisis it ever has
been called upon to face, and in view
Of her interests in the Adriatic and
the Mediterranean, she finds herself
able to remain neutral. In fact the
declaration Of neutrality is now con-
sidered only a temporary expedient.
designed to enable Italy to take a
proper stand after a decisive battle.
1t is contended that while Italy can
not follow Germany in an aggressive
war, yet she cannot afford to allow
the Balkans. A German and Austrian
victory would mean realization Of
Austria's old dream of ION to Salon
ika, whether Greece wants it or not"
It would also mean the possession Of
valonia, and that Austria would hold
the key to the entire situation. In this
case tn eItalian coast cannot be de-
Tended or fortified from Venice down
and it can easily be seen that in time
of war Italy would be open to the raw
ages Of the Austrian navy.
Italy will never consent t othis, and
the day Austria absorbs any part Of
the Balkan territory without giving
Italy some compensation, the latter
will be compelled to declare war on
Austria and fight for the right to keep
on living as an Independent nation.
On the other hand. a Franco-Eng-
lish victory over Austria and Germany
would mean an invasion of slavs on
the Adriatic.
The peoples interested in the at
titude italy will ultimately assume
has been growing keener. Until few
days ago the radical parties were urg-
ing the government to remain neutral
Today neutrality Is understood even
in socia1istic circles, to be entirely
subordinated to the changes the VIC
tors. propose to make In tn epolitical
map Of Europe. s5s IS
The press Is pointing out to those
who favor active participation in the
present confiagration, that the time
is not, far distant when italy will be
called upon to make her voics heard.

ORDERS GERMANY
TO ABANDON CHINA

Toxic, Aug. 17.-Japan sent an ul-
timatum to Germany Saturday night
demanding the withdrawal Of German
warships from the orient and the
evacuation Of Kiau-Chau and giving
Germany until August 23 to comply
with the demand; Otherwise, the ul-
timatum states, Japan will take ac-
ton. The general expectation here Is
that the ultimatum will be followed
by war.
Takaaki Kato, the Japanese for
eign minister, simultaneously with the
dispatch of the ultimatum, conferred
with George w. Guthrie, the Ameri-
can ambassador, and made to him a
broad statement, calculated to assure
the United States that the American
interests in the far east would be
safeguarded and the integrity of Chi
ma upheld.
Owing to the doubts as to whether
the communications with Berlin
would be assured, Japan, in order to
insure the arrival of the ultimatum,
forwarded it to Berlin by six chan
nels, including Washington, London
and Stockholm. The government al
so notified Count Won Reed, the Ger
man ambassador to Japan, and like
wise retarded the time limit for the
reply until August 20.
Profound Impression.
The Japanese ultimatum has Great
ed profound impression, although
it had been predicted that japan was
making ready to participate in the
war.
Count okuma,s the premier, ana
Takaaki Kato, foreign minister, ad-
dressed meetings Of merchants and
members of parliament and others
and counselled calm attitude. They
declared Japan had no ambition for
territorial aggrandizement.
Stand by the u. S.
In reply to the question propound-
ed by a merchant, the foreign minis
ter unequivocally denied the reports
that the United States had interferred
in any way in the situation and he
added: .'The United States is not
likely to-" Later he said the Ameri-
can government would be fully in
formed as to Japan's position.

Are a Disappointment.

London, Aug. 1.-THE German in
fantry is moving forward in an effort
to envelope the left wing of the allied
army at the south and east of Ant
Werp and it is believed that general
attack in force is now in progress. The
artillery fire of the allies is said to be
extremely deadly, but the Germans
are meeting it with unusual bravery
Half dozen German attempts to
point Of the bayonet have been driven
back. Belgium and French aviators,
familiar with every inch Of the Bel
gian territory are flying over the
spaces between the two armies, spying
out the German movements. Amaz-
ing. risks are taken by the Belgian
airmen, but thus far the Germans
have failed to get the range of any Of
the machines.
The Belgian and French lines ex-
tend along a front extending along
far south Of Namur. Ten miles north
west of Namur, at Gembloux lie the
French reserves with the British army
neither Of whom as yet have got into
the fight.
Brussels Must be Taken.
Captured German officers say that
orders from Berlin are that Brussels
must be taken at all hazards. There
are 100000 Germans Of all branches
Of the service all along the line of the
Meuse river.
While the fight RACES around Diest,
the Germans still hammer away at the
Liege FORTS These are said to be still
intact. Repeated assaults are said to
be attempted by the Germans. One of
these was made under cover Of dark
ness last night. The Germans carried
hand granades and heavy wire clip

bags. mattresses and entrenching tools
so that the attacking party might en-

swept the approaches with terrific eff
feet and the Germans withdrew in dis
order.

Hundreds of additional wounded
are said to be arriving in Brussels.

government. Until further notice the
residents of this port will be judged
by military law. The proclamation
makes Rear Admiral Fletcher abso.

Federal Troops in Colorado

Washington, April 26.-President
Wilson probably will send federal
troops into Colorado to aid in com
posing the serious condition in the
local coal fields. Colorado represen-
tatives in congress, after a conference
at the White house, said late tonight
they expected the troops to be order
ed out early in the morning.
Governor Ammons' telegraphic re-
quest for troops was considered in
conference during the day. Tonight
Senator Thomas went to the White
house with kilograms from friends
in Denver, telling him that "the situa-
ton is getting more urgent every
minute" He urged that assistance
from the federal government at once
was imperative.
The senator had another telegram
from Governor Ammons saying that
the striking miners were bringing re-
Inducements and arms and ammuni-
ton into the state. The militia has
made no move, the governor said,
since the truce was declared, but
NEARLY all day yesterday and all Of
today, violence on the part Of strik-
ers has continued.
