FRENCH FORCE SWEPT BACK
Invading Province of Al
sace-lorraine.

London, Aug. 10. - Coincident
with the receipt here of the report
that a great battle was on in the
great valley of the Rhine, near Neu
Briesach, between the French and
Austrian-German forces, and that
the French had been swept back with
heavy losses, came a dispatch from

which is invading Germany from

the Germans before it in victories at

FRANCE AND AUSTRIA
BREAK OFF RELATIONS
AMBASSADORS or TWO coUN-
TRIES ARE GIVEN PASSPORTS
Declaration of War fastened by Mo
biIization of Austrian Troops
on Swiss Border.

Paris, Aug 10.-France and Austria
finally are officially at war, the ambas-
sailors having left the respective cap
itals The French government broke
off diplomatic relations with Austria
on the grounds that Austrian troops
were reinforcing the Germans.
The declaration of war had been ex-
pected for the last three days, but
France was determined that she would
not act until something definite had
taken place on which declaration
could be based This was in order to
prevent Italy being forced into the
conflict as an ally of Austria.
France Feared Attack.
When the announcement was re-
ceived that Austrian troops, under the
grand duke of Tuscany, had crossed
Lake Constance and were at Basel, on
the Swiss border, prepared to attack
the French forces operating in Alsace,
a peremptory demand that Austria de
clare her position was made The Aus
trian ambassador was sent for and
was given until Monday night to get
definition of the Austrian position.
This was not done, so the foreign Of
flee handed the ambassador his pass
ports and war was Immediately de-
clared.
At the same instant the French am
bassador at Vienna applied to his Aus
trian foreign office for his passports.
They were Immediately handed him
and he left for the frontier at once.
Initiative Taken BY France.
There was much speculation here
Monday night over the effect this dec
laration will have on Italy's position.
Under the terms of her treaty with
Austria and Germany, she is bound to
come to their aid when they are at
tackled. However, in the case of Eng
land and Germany, where there was a
dual declaration, the Italian govern
ment took the position that England
was not the aggressor.
In the present instance France act
ed, taking the initiative, but only after
she had raised the point that her from
tier was attacked by Austrian troops
Should Italy accept this position she
can continue her plan of neutrality
and refuse to be drawn into the war
Joins With Germany.
