WASHINGTON, May 19-In case the Uuoed States should suddenly be- cone ro.ted in the European war; an army of 5OOoO) men c2wa be raised and equipped within one month and would be ripe for battle within a few months thereafter Secretary of War Garrison and Chief of Stan Hugh b. Scott since the European trouble began have been quietly pre- pairing for. any emergency. Plans for speedy mobilization have been made. The government is in touch with es- tabishments which could supply every necessity of an army Of a half million within a month. The men could not be mobilized before their supplies would be ready for them
 The national guard of the varioua states, figured on paper at 12l, l,00O men, would probably yield about half that number in valuable fighting troops From the colleges and schools where military service is required it is believed that the government would get at least 25,OOO young men who could be made valuable soldiers in a short time. Veterans of Spanish American war by thousands probably would enlist and could be whipped into shape within a few weeks or months
 The fact that for months England, France and Russia have been largely dependent upon the United States for war supplies has made 1t possible for the United States to prepare for any emergency in far less time than ever before when danger was threatened.

HAGUE. May 19 Interested mem bers of the diplomatic corps at the Hague claim 10 be convinced that war between Italy and Ausuia-Hm- gary is only a question Of hours. Hints have been dropped in several quarters that Germany even in her anxiety for Italy entering the host.- ities as by this means the possibility might arise by which Austria could conclude a separate peace with Rus sia which would enable Germany 70 withdraw many of her troops from the long Eastern front for service else where.
 Germany some diplomates say. win not likely be very active against Italy and would rather utilize the service. of many Of her officers now employ ed in Galicia on the western front where they are greatly needed It also is argued by foreign diplomats that Italy's entry into the war would not immediately involve Roumauia

LONDON. May l9-Whue Italy is confidently believed to be making fine al preparations Co enter Che war on the side of the allies. Austria. who win be the direct object of her attack is with her German ally attempting to inhict such defeat on the Russians that she win be able to divert troops if necessary to meet the new foe in the south
 Rome dispatches continue somewhat contradictory but the majority agree that the Italian government has den. nitely decided on the side of war. and that the German and Austrian ambassadors are preparing to leave Rome, that the consul-generals of the two countries have either already leit their posts or soon will do SO. On the other hand a message via Paris says Austria has submitted new pro. posals. A definite announcement is expected from the foreign on.ce be fore the Chamber Of Deputies meets tomorrow.
 The Teutons are very active alous the entire eastern front They claim 10 have occupied Sieniawa. north of Przemysl and captured positions southeast Of the former Austrian fort ress. The Russians report they have broken the Austrian extreme right. and again occupy Czernowitz. the rapital of Bukowina.

 A sudden break in the weather in France, which has been bright and dry stopped the fighting Monday but sim ae has been resumed al several points.
