Berlin. May "a tvia London. 9;45
p. m Mo arrangements have as yot
been made for tho departure of the
italian ambassador from Germany.
Owing To the Whitsuntide holidays
no newspapers were published today
and therefore there have been no press
comments ON ltaly's declaration OF
war. The public received the news
with remarkable calmness and seemed
more bent on enjoying holiday outings
in the brilliant summer weather than
worrying about the latest accession to
the ranks of Austria-llungarys enc
mics
street demonstrations took place
last night whom the news Of ltaly's
declaration Of war against the dual
monarchy became known, and small
crowds paradod the streets at an early
hour this morning singing patriotic
songs ami cheering for Austrla-H Hun
gary. The paradcrs attempted to
make demonstration before the
Italian embassy but since the incident
OF Thursday night, when a youth
Knocked off the ambassadors hat as
he was leaving the embassy, the po-
lice have taken precautions to fore
stall untoward incidents, and all tho
approaches TO the embassy were
closed.
Comment Uncomplimentary.
What comment was heard on the
situation is not flattering to Italy.
Her action in declaring war against
her former ally Ia generally regarded
by the populace as political brisan-
dage." The average German declines

aianght will merely put off the ultir
snate victory of the Teutunic allies
without rendering victory doubtful.
In discussions of tho official lfal-
ian explaaation for the declaration OF
war the comment is everywhere
heard that it took Italy long time
to find out that the treaty of alliance
had been violated, It being argued
that Italy's note on this subject was
dated in December. and that IL re-
quired months longer To determine
that the violation Of the treaty con
stitutod reason for war.
Enthusiasm In Vienna.
Dispatches received here from We
emma report that big street DEM
onstratlons In favor of war with Italy
have taken place. The observations
of a correspondent of the Associated
Press who spent the greater part Of
the last two months travelling in Aus
tria Hungary were that war against
Italy would be highly popular The |
feeling against the Russians in COM
parison seemingly was not particular |
ly bitter Tho victory Of the Aus |
tro-Germans in Galicia was received |
with satisfaction mixed with little !
hatred by the Austro-Ger- !
mans, but it was evident from the ac- |
tions of the people that q successful |
against Italy would arouse I
cXultatlon. The indica- /
cations we're that the average Austro- l
would be almost willing to |
forego a victory over Russia for the |
pleasure Of Furnishing their countrys |
former ally for breaking with her.
Germany is whole -heartedly on the I
side of her ally. The Italian military
lttache recently was summoned TO :
-he German headquarters aud shown
1n n man the location and strength !
,f the Austro-Gcrman armies on the |
italian frontier 50 that his govern
nent should have no reason tO' doubt /
hat Germany would assist Austria
with every available man in
case Of war.
