FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT LACKING
With only formal announcement by
the government of the decision to en-
ter the war on the side of the Allies
lacking to make Italy's participation
certain, a great wave of patriotic en-
thusiasm swept the country today.
From army headquarters where ey-
tensive preparations for the war are
being made came reports of thousands
of persons offering their services to
the nation. There is no official con-
firmation of the statement in Giornale
D'Italia that the German and Austrian
ambassadors have demanded their
passports, but it is known that trains
are waiting to carry them from the
country when the governments war
policy is announced or a formal dec
laration of hostilities is issued.
