ITALY Will NOT
ASSIST AUSTRIA;
BALKANS ACTIVE
Movement on Foot to Assist
Russia and Keep Turkey
Inactive-Balkan League
to Be Reconstructed.

Rome, 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 Hungary
on the other, was declared. The Trib-
una, in an article evidently inspired IN
official quarters, emphasizes the fact
that Great Britain 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 therefore Italy is not
obliged to assist Austria Hungary.
The most active work is now going
on among the governments of the va
rious Balkan states to bring about a
reconstruction of the former Balkan
league which defeated Turkey in the
recent war
The object of the movement is to
assist Russia against Austria Hungary
and to keep Turkey inactive.

will he born again, free in her religion,
her language and autonomous.
Russia expects from you only the
loyalty to which history has bound you.
With open heart and a brotherly hand
extended great Russia comes to meet
you. She believes that the sword
which struck her enemies at Greune-
valid is not yet rusted.
Russia from the shores of the Pa
cific ocean to the North sea marches
in arms. The dawn of a new life COM
mences for you. In this glorious dawn
is seen the sign of the cross-the SYM
boil of suffering and the resurrection
Of a people,"

belligerents seek passage. Strict rules
are laid in the treaty for the perpetual
naturalization of the canal and every
detail will be under the dire elton of
Governor Goethals and his staff Ex-

distress and a vessel of war of one
belligerent cannot depart within "a
hours from the departure of a vessel
of war of another beligerent. All OF
the plants and establishments that are
part of the canal are immune from at
tack or injury by any belligerents
Vigilant American pilots will see that
no foreign vessels make observations
of the canal defenses.
The principal work remaining to be
done in completing the canal is the
