Italian Embassy Gives
Out Statement Showing
Why Italy Is in War

The Italian embassy today issued d
copy of the official documents prepared
by the Italian government justifyinS
the participation of Italy in the war
The embassy took occasion to deny
that any sanction had been given to
calls for Italians who are naturalzed
American citizens. to respond to the
colorS and to enroll themselves at the
nearest consulate, where transportation
home would be provided.
The embassy did not deny that the
various cohsuls are enrolling all re-
scrvists who report and making ar
rangements for them to return to Italy.
1t is understood that in order to avoid
criticism great majority of tho
Italians who are sent home to fight
will be concentrated at Canadian ports
from where steamers will take them to
Italy.
1t is explained at the Austrian em-
bassy that the announcement that the
United States had taken over the AUS
trian affairs in Rome was an error.
The United States will represent Aus
tria's interests in Egypt and Servia. but
In Italy It was decided, after instruc-
tions had been sent to Anlba dor
Thomas Nelson Page to act that the
difficulties of communication were so
great that a European neutral power
could be of more service. Austria Ia
now completely cut off from communi-
cation with the rest of the world except
Ing by wireless through Berlin. In
asmuch as the wireless across the
ocean via SayVilc is now out of COM
mission, except for very brief intervals.
1t is felt that to have the United States
emergency arose which demandsd
speedy. action. 1t is understood there
fore that Spain will represent both
Germany and Austria in Italy.

Rigid Censorship By
Italy Suppresses Facts
Of Naval Disposition

LONDON. May 25 - Italy today
adopted the censorship regulations OF
the allies and 1t was impossible to
obtain further facts from Rome con-
cerning Yesterdays naval battle m the
Adriatic.
The Corriere d'Italia has been SUD-
pressed by the Roman authorities for
printing unofficial details of the defeat
or the Austrian warships. Hereafter
editors will be held personally RESPONSE
BILE for publishing facts not officially
made public by the government.
Co-operation of the allies warshlps
with the Italian fleet Is in particular a
matter which. for strategic reasons, the
Rome admiralty wishes to keep secret.
Inc Corriere dltalia yesterday revealed
the presence of u British squadron in
the Adriatic.
Until the war is over. Italy will be
closed to detailed unofficial battle de-
scriptions. Yesterdays account of how
the Duke of Abruzzi saved the Adri-
auc coast cities cannot therefore, be
continued. since the facts might be of
value TO the Austrian admiralty

HIGH OFFICIALS HEAR
PROTEST. BY PACKERS
Delegation in Long Conference
At State Department Over
Britain's Acts.
,Con.lnued from First Page.)

ciyt. accompanied the packers to the
State Department and was present
throughout the conference with the de-
pertment officials.
The visit to the State Department
followed a conference between the rep
resentatives Of the Big Four" last
night. At the conference last night.
Alfred Urion, just back from London.
made his report.
The situation has been carefully can
vassed by the packers and II Is their
view that they have nothing to gain by
making war on England in the form
OF an embargo on meats. The packers
denied today they had contemplated
such procedure, but from reliable
authority II is ascertained this plan
has been considered.
The packers tnd, however, that they
are almost up against a stone wall.
The business of driving the British
government into prompt action or into
an easy thing.
The packers are dlsposins of their
South American product to England
and the allies. and they are In a situa-
ton such that II they attempt any
retaliatory measures against England
they will endanger their shipments
from South America. "
The packers are expected late in the
day to issue a statement concerning
the situation. But the matter Whicn
will in all likelihood be used as ammu-
milton by this Government when 1t sends
the forthcoming note to England, pro-
testing against the holding up of car
goes of American goods consigned to
neutral countries. delays in adjust
ments and related matters.
One of the interesting phases of the
situation is that Alfred Urion. who
went to London about three months
ago. went at the invitation Of the
British government.
Despite this. 1t Is understood he has
been able to make little progress. Car
goes of meat and meat products val
ued all the way from $15.00o,o00 10
s25 100000 are held up in British
ports AMI efforts to hurry disposition
of them have been unavailing.
Many difficulties are in the way of
satisfactory arrangements. One Of
them Is the fact that the. British do
not want the kind OF meats which the
continental countries want. The result
is that the packers cannot get out Of
the British government a settlement
for detained cargoes on the basis Of
