ITALY STILL HOLDS IT IS NOT OBLIGED
 TO JOIN WARFARE


 Rome. Aug. "A, s:46 p. m, via Paris, 7:3o a. m.. Aug. 15.-The excitement in the Italian capital has become very acute since the existence of the state of war between England and France on the one side and Austria-Hungar on the other, it was declared today.
 The Tribuna, in an article evidently inspired in official quarters, en1pha- sizes the fact that Great Bratain and France did not really. declare war on Austria, but simply announced that a state of war existed by reason of Austria's own acts and that, there fore Italy is not obliged to assist Aus tria-Hungary.
 The most active work is now going on among the governments of the var ious Balkan states to bring about reconstruction of the former Balkan league which defeated Turkey in the recent war. The object of the move ment is to@assist Russia against Aus, tria-Hungary and to keep Turkey in active.

London, Aug. 15-The Daily Nan states that the cruisers Goeben ana Breslau. reported to have been pur- chased from Germany by Turkey. have received Turkish names and will be placed under the command of Rear Admiral Arthur H. L4impus. of the British navy. who was Ient as naval adviser to the Turkish govern ment in 1912.
 The Mail says that Turkey does not intend to employ the warships against Russia and adds: There appears to be no doubt that their purchase is d direct contravention of international law, but the opinion is gaining ground in diplomatic circles that T1lr- key is the victim of a German trap to embroil her with the triple en- tente.''

genius in his own distinctive line. The
part which he plays has been origi-

he Plays it TO perfection. He poses
