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 nete 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 Austria 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 Penfleld 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-proyided 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 q
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 viii have softening effect
upon the German reply to the Wilson
understanding 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 there
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
tuaIly 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 it has to
an extent all over the world.
The situation as to Great Britains
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

Primary Election.
La, ger Vote POllcd Than Usual
In Town.


Primary election was held throughout
the county and State Tuesday of this
week
Candidates seeking nominations were
out early and many put up hot fight on
a red hot day to come out victorious.
Voting began promptly at eight O'Clock
and at no time during the day did the
election officials have time to take a
snooze between acts.
On the two ballots 1875 names appear
Precinct No in Thurmont having seven
less, there being no contest for County
Central Committee in that precinct.
While the vote was small compared to
that at the general election, the number
of names to be counted and tailed took
considerable time, and the judges and
clerks were kept busy until six O'Clock
Wednesday morning.
In another column we give the vote
cast in the two precincts in Mechanics
town District and the total vote of the
county as far as possible at this time.
Senator John p. T. Matthias, our local
candidate for Clerk of the Court, was
cut severely here and the same applies
to many other districts in the county,
his opponent, Mr.. Eli Haugh, receiving
big majority in the county and the
nomination.
Mr.. jeremiah Dutrow for Judge of the
Orphans Court on the Republican ticket
received 1871 votes in this district, he be-
ing but l6 below Chas. H. Butts.
Mr.. John Joy of Graceham for the
same office on the Democratic ticket,
while not given big vote in this district
yet he ran ahead of his opponents.
Mr.. Albert Patterson, of Emmitsburg,
for Register of Wills, was supported 10y
by the Republicans of Mechanicstown
district, and secured the nomination.
Tho total vote cast at Thurmont was
460; 22l in Precinct l, and 239 in pre-
cinct 2, more than two thirds of the reg
istered voter of the district.
O. E. Weller, the first of the Guberna-
toria candidates to receive any assur-
ance of victory, made the following state
ment:
Naturally feel highly gratified at
the result of the primary election. This
feeling is intensified by the knowledge
that was opposed by gentleman of
high character and proven ability, Mr..
Warburton, for whom have the highest
admiration and respect. For those vot-
ers who saw fit to follow his leadership
have only the most kindly feelings.
'In the campaign about to begin | ear
nestly request the assistance and conf
dence of all men who are interested in
the welfare of our State. 1t will be my
purpose to publicly discuss clearly and
analytically every issue before the peo-
pie.
81 desire to express my deep and sin
cere appreciation for the fairness accord
ed my campaign by the public press. |
express to those who championed my
cause my heartfelt gratitude and to those
who, in exercising their individual right,
aided Mr.. Warburton, l extend cordial
invitation to join me in waging an earn
est, dignifed, diligent and successful
campaign.
81 feel confident of my election, and
my one ambition will be to give to the
State of Maryland an honest, intelligent
business-like administration such as will
forever reflect credit on my State, my
party and on those who shall have aided
in elevating me to the high Office of Gov
ernor."
