AWAIT ACTION

that war had been declared, while
the Italian and Austrian ambassadors
both called at the state department
to formally communicate the facts OF
the situation to Secretary Bryan, on
behalf of their governments.
1t was positively made known here
that the United States is not at pres
ent, at least, to have charge of Aus
trian interests in Italy. II is sup
posed that German and Austrian gov
ernments have taken cognizance of
the possibility of strained relations
with the United States, growing out
of the presidents note to Germany
regarding submarine operations. The
United States has taken charge OF

The action of Italy has caused hard
ly ripple here. since her entrance
into the war has been so long anti
cipated in official quarters. At the
state department officials proceeded
to go through with the usual formali-
bassadors of the two belligerents
were part II is expected that a
proclamation of neutrality will be is
sued to the public II will not diffe;
in any essential from the several
other proclamations OF neutrality
which have been issued by the presi-
dent since last August.
The chief interest in the situation
apparent here was not with regard 10
ltaly's immediate acts, but as to what
Roumania is going to do. There is a
general belief here that whatever part
Roumania is TO play already has been
assigned TO and accepted by her. II
is not doubted that England and Italy
and their allies have made very def
mite arrangements with Roumania. II
is thought more than probable that
Roumania will enter the war, though
It is doubted IL this action Will be
taken at once.
II has been accepted as fundamen-
tai that Roumania's course would de-
pend entirely on the arrangements
she might make with Bulgaria. II is
believed that an understanding has
been reached which is sufficient 10
protect Roumania. from danger OF at
tack by Bulgaria II she does decide
TO enter the war. II is possible that
Bulgaria may even have arranged
with Roumania that she will attack

here. will be found wholly out OF the
situation for some time as II is I'M
