ALL BLAME ON ITALY
Responsibility of War Placed or
Rome Government.
Emperor Francis Joseph Says Aus.
trials Cause Just and Action of
Italy Perfidy.
BY STEVEN BURNETT.

International News Service CORRESPONDENT
Vienna, via Berlin and Amsterdam,
May 25.-Full responsibility for the
war between Austria and Italy is
placed upon the Rome government il
peror Francis Joseph. The aged ruler
expresses his deep regret that hostili-
ties should have been brought about
between the former allies, but asserts
that the cause of Austria Is wholly
just.
"The Italian declaration of war is
breach of faith declares the emperor.
The manifesto appeals to the peo-
pie of Austria-Hungary to support the
national honor.
Emperor Francis Joseph also issued
a proclamation addressed to the army
saying:
Soldiers of the empire: The king
of Italy has declared war against me.
An act of perfdy, the like Of which
has never been known in history, has
been committed by the king of Italy
against both of his allies. After an
alliance of thirty years Italy has aban-
doned us to our dangers. Soldiers,
your. duty for your emperor and your
fatherland lies plainly before you"
Throughout this and other Austro-
Hungarian cities, Sunday was a day
of patriotic demonstrations. Fiery
speeches were delivered before the
government buildings. Soldiers and
officers were wildly cheered as they
passed through the streets and great
crowds, bearing the Austrian flag,
marched through the city shouting
Down with Italy" and Down with the
traitors"

All Subjects Between Ages of 10 and
20 Summoned to War Against
the Teutons.t


New York. May 25.-A call to all
Italian citizens and American citizens
OF Italian birth to enroll here for serv-
ice in the Italian army was published
in the newspapers of that language
here today. 1t was signed by G. Fara
Forni, the Italian consulgeneral, and
was addressed to ell men between the
ages of nineteen and Twenty-Five, in
elusive
The military law of Italy holds that
all men of Italian birth in this country
are subject to call for service in the
army, regardless of whether they have
taken out citizenship papers in the
United States. Penalty for refusal to
obey the call is Imprisonment in the
event of later return to Italy
1t was estimated that there are 1885,
600 Italians of military age in this
city. More than 1000 already have en-
rolled and the consul-general has made
arrangements to receive a large num-
Der of enrollments as result of the
call.

Washington, May 25.-The entrance
of Italy into the European war, now
involving approximately one-half of
the population of the world, over
Swallowed all other matters in diplo-
matte and official circles here and
temporarily put to the rear specula-
ton concerning the German note in
the Lusitania disaster and the differ
ences between England and the Unit
ed States over the British order in
council affecting neutral commerce.
United States Is Still Neutral.
The state department announced re-
ceipt of official notification from Italy
that state of war existed between
Italy and Aus ria-Hungary beginning
Sunday midnight. This notice was
given to Ambassador Page in Rome by
Foreign Minister Sonnino The Wash
ington government already has begun
preparation of proclamation of neu-
trality.
The state department has author
lied Ambassador Page in Rome to
take over Austrian diplomatic and
consular business in Italy and Ambas-
sador Penfield in Vienna to take
charge Of Italian interests in Austria
during the war.
Diplomatic and official circles, of
course. are not discussing the casting
Of the die by Italy. Her action. how
ever, will cause officials to work even
harder for the continued peace of this
nation-provided that peace may be
maintained with honor. 1t is recog-
nized generally that with nearly all
of the great world powers at war, the
position of the United States from a
moral and commercial point of view.
and in the light of friendly adviser
when peace comes over Europe, would
be an enviable one. The consensus
here is that Italy's war declaration
naturally will have a softening effect
upon the German reply to the Wilson
assuming that there might have
been anything harsh in that reply. 1t
is not believed that the German ma
ton, beset on all sides, will run the
risk of alternating the United States
at this critical time.
That Germany may still have to de-
pend largely upon her submarine war
fare is considered probable, but tSere
is an optimistic feeling that this war
fare hereafter will be conducted so as
not to endanger the lives of Ameri-
cans and that proper reparation even
tually will be made for the loss of
lives on the Lusitania, which caused
the Wilson note of protest.
Italy Delays German Reply.
The German reply is not expected
now before the end of the week, as
it is assumed that Italy's entrance
into the war has overshadowed the
American note at Berlin as 1t has to
an extent all over the world.
The situation as to Great Britain's
order in council and that nations in
reference with noncombatants on
goes bound for neutral ports remained
unchanged, following the ending of the
unofficial conferences between repre-
sentatives Of the British embassy and
trade advisers of the state depart
ment

Why Men Eat More Than Women.

Why Men Eat More Than Women.
That men eat five or six per cent
more than women-not because they
are gluttons, but because they actually
require that much more nourishment
appears as a result of an investiga--
ton made in the nutrition laboratory
Of the Carnegie institute at Washing
ton by Francis G. Benedict and L. K.
Games, says the Literary Digest. The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have smaller proper
ton of active tissues than men Of
the same weight and more inactive
material, such as fat The investiga.
ton disclosed that the average wom-
an generates only 1856 heat units In
the "a hours, as against 1888 pro
duced by the man, or about two per
cent more for the latter per pound of
body weight When groups were CON-

weight, the men were found to pro-
