ITALY ESTABLI SHE'S
RIGID CENSORSHIP
Decree Provides Authority to Censor
Letters, kilograms and Newspa-
perS-War Spirit High.

Rome, May % (via Paris, May 24).-
Details concerning Italy's declaration
of war against Austria were given by
Foreign Minister Go1nnino this after
noon at three-hour cabinet council.
Diplomatic relations between the Vat
lean and the belligerents were dis
cussed
Baron Sonnino expressed the belief
that Germany would declare war as
soon as official information was re-
ceived regarding Italy's actions. The
council did not consider military ques-
tions, as those nave been entrusted en-
tirely to the general staff, which will
work in harmony with the command
ers of the allies forces.
Financial measures were taken up,
and it is believed a war loan will be
floated, either at home or abroad.
A rigid censorship decree has been
published, providing authority to cen
sor letters, newspapers, telegrams, tel
ephone messages and parcel post pack
ages. The decree also restricts per-
sonal liberties, especially as regards
public meetings. The measures re-
semble those already adopted in other
belligerent countries.
Enthusiastic demonstrations con-
tinue. In Florence, Venice, Genoa, Mi
Ian and other large centers crowds
throng the streets cheering for the
king and the army.
Most of the members of the chamber
of deputies have volunteered.
Owing to the large number of men
under arms there is a shortage of
workmen. Most employers nave prom
ised the workmen their places will be
restored on t1eir return from mill
tary service, and that in the meantime
provision will be made for their fani-
lies. In some cases women are doing
work formerly performed by men. IN
several cities women are employed on
street cars.

9ington, May 24.-Some OF the
es which the war across the
lc has thrown into tae paths Of
rial and commercial prosperity
Ne march of trade in the Western
nisphere were outlined today at
first session of TIE Pan-American
Rancial conference.
The outstanding thought OF the con-
ference, as expressed by many speak
ers, was the need for Improvement Of
transportation, for a readjustment Of
methods of financial exchange and for
uniformity of laws north and south Of
the equator in relation to subjects
which vitality affect international rela-
tions. Steps were taken at the close
.of the day to pave the way for uniform
aetatutes through appointment of a
aommittee with representative from
Aeh invited nation and several rep
entatiyes of the United States.
President Wilson, who welcomed the
legates to this country, dwelt on the
eed for development of transporta-
pn, and Secretaries Bryan, Redfeld
hd MeAdoo, and Postmaster General
urleson later added their recommen-
ations for steamship lines independ-
nt of Europe to ply between all the
Principal ports of the two Americas.
Expression of this idea eliminated to-
igat in the promise Of Secretary Nc
Adoo to select committee Of repre-
