SEVERAL italian
CITIES ATTACKED
BY SEA AND AIR
Bombs are Thrown on Military
Buildings at Ancona and
Venice.
DAMAGE SLIGHT, HOWEVER
Outbreak of War Made Occasion for
Patriotic Outbreaks in Both
Countries.
Venice.
DAMAGE SLIGHT, HOWEVER


clared by Italy on Austria is not yet
in full swing, but small battles are
under way along the frontier and
the Austrians already have under
taken action against the Italian
towns on the east coast, with war
ships and aeroplanes. The towns
shelled and bombed included Venice,
Ancona, Porto Corsini, Bartletta,
Gesi and Potenza Picena.
The bombardment of Ancona is
said to have lasted but two hours,
and Vienna reports that the bombs
thrown on the military buildings by
the Austrian aeroplanes at that
place and on the arsenal at Venice
caused "visible damage and fires"
The Italian authorities, on the
other hand, declare that the damage
done was slight.
Throughout Italy and Austria the
outbreak of war has been made the
occasion for demonstrations of pa
triotism and loyalty. 1t apparently
has been greeted in both countries
as a very desirable ending of nego-
tiations which had been going on
for months past for a different and
peaceful settlement. In London,
Paris and Petrograd the Italian res
idents have held professions with
banners flying and many of them are
preparing to join the colors.
Temporarily, the Austro-Italian
situation has put the active cam
paign both in the east and the west
in the background, al
though in these two war zones, fight
ing of the most serious nature has
been going on. In the east, Russia
has begun a new offensive, the ad-
vance of the Austro-G Germans SEEM
ingly having been checked. Vienna,
for the first time in several weeks
has failed in the latest official COM
munication to make claims of sue
cesses in Galicia where the Teutonic
allies have been driving the Rus
slams before them. The Austro Ger
mans in this region generally have
been thrown on the defensive, &C
cording to the Russian war office.
The British commander in chief
on the continent, Field Marshal Sir
John French, reports the evacuation
of some trenches by the British
troops owing to the use of asphyxia-
ting gas shells by the German ar
tillery, to the east of Ypres, where
the Germans broke through the
British line in several places. The
British troops, however, have made
new progress in the strategically i'm
portant territory to the north of La
Bassee.
From London comes the an
nouncement that Italy has engaged
not to conclude separate peace
with Austria. This is in line with
the agreement already signed by
Great Britain, France and Russia.
The German reply to the Ameri-
can note has been still further de-
layed by the preoccupations of the
German foreign Office with the Ital-
ian developments, which has allow
ed no time for the elaboration Of the
draft of the note.
While progress has been made in
the formation of the new British CO.
alition cabinet, Premier Asquith is
not yet ready to make known the
names of the new ministry.
