Sends italy ultimatum.

London, Aug. Cit was confirmed
today that the kaiser had given Italy
until midnight to join Germany and
Austria Hungary in arms or Germany
would declare war against it.
Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy
were bound by treaty in what was
known as the "Triple Alliance. -
This treaty required each Of the three
sgnatories to come to the aid of either
or both the others in the event of an
attack on them by an outside lower.
1t has been Germany's contention
that the fatherland and Austria Hun
gary were attacked by Russia, France,
England, Servia and Montenegro.
Italy has maintained that Germany
and Austro- Hungary were the aggres-
sOrs.
The former proposition being admit
ted, the Italians would be bound to lend
aid to Germany and Austro- Hungary;
the latter being assumed, it would be
within its rights in refusing.
Many believed it would not only re.
iect Germany's ultimatum but would
( aelp England, France, Russia and the
lessor powers who are on their side.
This was because of the traditional
>nmity between Italy and Austria-Hun-
oarv and also because of its friendly
relations with the "Triple Entente
and some of their allies.
Sentiment Against War.
Italian working peoples sentiment u
to strongly against war at all, however
that they have threatened a general
strike and even revolution unless
their government kept out of the Eu
rOpean struggle.
The first burst of excitement over
the British watched the war prepara
tions with almost phlegmatic calm.
The country was under martial law
but there were no outward indications
of it except for the unusual number OF
uniformed men seen in the street.
/ The Herald, labor organ, was open
ly urging workingmen to refuse to vol
unteer. Neither military nor civil au
thOrities paid the slightest attention.
Despite the governments 3 assurances
that there was no danger of famine
shops were generally refusing to sell
more than limited quantities of provis
ions to their customers. The precau
tion was taken to prevent the rich from
laying in enormous supplies, forcing
prices up or bringing about a shortage
from which the poor must suffer.

to have left the country, really tool
his departure today. He had militar!
escort but there was no demonstration
against him.
