ITALY'S ACT INEXCUSABLE.
Berlin Says Rome Has Broken Her
Alliance Without Excuse

London, May PA Berlin official
dispatch received by Reuters Tele-
graph Company by way of Amster-
dam and dated May %, says:
THE Italian government today
caused to be declared through the
ambassador to the Austro- Hungar-
ian government, the Duke of Avarna.
that Italy considers herself in a state
of war with Austro- Hungary.
The Italian government. by this
ineXcusable attack against the dual
monarchy, has also broken, without
right or without ground, her alliance
with Germany.
The loyal relationship existing
conformably with the treaty between
Austro-HungGry and the German,
empire, and still more firmly welded
by the comradeship of arms, has re-
mained unimpaired by the detection
of the third ally and her desertion to
the enemy's camp. The German am
bassador therefore, has received in
structions to leave Rome coniointly
with the Austro-Hungarian ambassa-
dor"

u. S. INSISTS ON A
DISAVOWAL OF DEED
Will Stand Strongly for Complete,
Reputation of Submarine Attack
on Lusitania and for Reparation.

Washington, May 22.-Such ad-
vices as have been received from Am
bassadOr Gerard within the last few
days, it became known tonight, have
given no intimation as to the charac-
ter of the German reply to the recent
American note beyond the generality
that it Will be friendly in tone.
The German answer is now expect
ed TO reach Washington late next
week. Until then the situation as
between the United States and Great
Britain over alleged violations of in
ternational law in connection with
the British order in council will not
be developed by officials here. After
the German note is received, how
ever, it is practically certain that
representations on the general SUBJ
ject of the commercial embargo i'm
posed by the allies on intercourse
with Germany will be made.
There is no tendency among Off
cials here to underestimate the Sc
riousness of the situation which NAV
result in event of an unfavorable re-
ply from Berlin. On this point in
particular it is known the Washing
ton government will insist-complete
disavowal OF any intention to destroy
American lives and full reparation
for injuries sustained. If the Ger
man reply should cover this point
satisfactorily it is felt that arrange
ments for the future safeguarding
of American citizens can then be ar
ranged through further diplomatic
correspondence, for it is said the
German reply will suggest arrange
ments whereby passengers and con-
traband traffic on belligerent mer-
chantmen might be separated.
