STRAVAGHER, Norway, Feb. A..
The transatlantic wireless station

soon after direct communication with
the United States was cut at the out

Italian Government in Com munication to Neutrals Gives Reasons for It's Declaration of War
IAUSTRIA'S ACTION IN
 REGARD TO SERVIA
 BONE OF CONTENTION
War Only Means of Safe guarding Italy's Position in Europe-Was Adopted as Final Resort

Washington. May 25.--Itais hns ad- dressed to the neutral governments of the world lengthy communication ex- pIaining her reasons for declaring war on Austria. Count Di ceIIere, the ItaI- ian ambassador, presented the docu- ment to Secretary Bryan today in the form of note to the United states government.
 It reviews negotations between Italy and Austria. revealing that they began immediately upon the dispatch of Austria Hungary's ultimatum to Servia Italy claims then that the action of Austria disturbed the equilibrium Of the Balkans and the peace of Europe in way that vitally affected Italian interests. As m ally of Austria Italy asserts the right to have been consulted before the sending of the ultimatum, the first news of which was received through the newspapers.
 Failing to obtain through diplomacy the satisfaction of her territorial and national aspirations. Italy announces in the note that declaration of war was the only means of safeguarding her position in Europe
 The text of the note as translated and issued by the Italian embassy says.
 The triple alliance was essentially de- fensive and designed solely to preserve, the status quo, or in other words the equilibrium in Europe. That these were it's only objects and purposes Is estab- lshed by the letter and spirit of the treaty as well as by the intentions clearly described and set forth in official acts of the ministers who created the alli- anee and confirmed ano'reuewed k in inc interest of peace which always has in- spired Italian policy.
 The treaty. as long as it's intents and purposes had been loyaIly interpreted and regarded and as long as it had not been used as pretext for aggression against others, greatly contributed to the elimlna- tion and settlement of causes of conflict and for many years assured to Europe the inestimable benefits of peace.
 But Austria Hungary severed the treaty by her own hands She rejected the response of Servia, which gave to her all the satisfaction she could legiti- mately claim. She refused to listen to the conciliatory proposals presented by Italy in conjunction with other powers in the effort to spare Europe from a vast conflict certain to dreneh the con- tinent with blood and to reduce 1t to ruin beyond the conception of humali imagination and finally she provoked that conflict.

ATTACKING FLEET WINS VICTORY IN MIMIC WAR GAME Admiral Fletcher Is Out maneuvered in Attempt
 to Defend Chesa-
 peake Bay

Washington. May 25.-Victory for fleet. which outmnneuvered the Allan tic fleet under Admiral Fletcher and won n position to establish a base in Chesapeake bay, Iate today closed the great war game which had been in progress on the coast since Inst Tues day.
 Tn a laconic telegram to the navy de- partment, Rear Admiral Knight, the um- pire, announced that he had terminated the game at o'clock this afternoon on deciding that the imaginary enemy Armada had attained it's object. No de- tails were given. and Secretary Daniels and his aides at the department know little more than the general public about what the ships have been doing the last sweek. or under what conditions the "enerny'' gained entrance through the Vir- gnia capes and established himself within striking distance of Washington.
 Mir. Daniels said tonight he had called Cn the commanding officers for full de- tails and when they were received he would make public as much as possible the story of the operations.
 Reports Are Meagre
 There was much speculation by naval officers here as to how the successful plan of attack had been worked out. Such meager reports as were available indi- cated that defenders-known as the "Bues"-were operating off the New Eng land coast. Consequently the suggestion most frequently heard tonighe was that the attacking ships had eluded Admiral Fletcher and passed into Chesapeake bay while the defenders cruised frultlessly about waiting for a dash against Boston or New York.
 The war game began when the Atlantic fleet passed out of New York harbor after being reviewed by President Wilson.
