ROME, May 20.-By a vote of
365 to 81 parliament this afternoon
passed the bill giving the govern
ment full power to act.
The news was flashed immediate
ly to the great crowds outside the
parliament building. Great roars of
cheers swept through the city as
the message was rushed on to the
Italian frontier towns. Everywhere
parliament as a forerunner OF war.
The government measure was intro
duced soon after parliament conven-
ed and was hurried to a vote with
scarcely any debate. The socialists
voted against it. Parliament thus
gave its approval to the Salandra
war program.
The decision will now go to the
ministry. A definite announcement
and perhaps an ultimatum to
Austria-is expected within twenty
four hours.
Today's procedure was identiea
with that used in 1853 when the
government, after receiving power
to act, declared war against Austria
The official summary of the Ital-
ian Green Book which was made
public today charges that Austria
broke faith with Italy when she sent
an ultimatum to Serbia which tum-
bled Europe into war. The full text
will say that Austria's action dis
turbed the whole Balkan status te
the detriment Of Italy and her inva.
sion OF Serbia violated the triple
alliance between Germany. Austria
and Italy.
The summary declares that this
infringement convinced Italy o
her right to resume full liberty ant

trian treaty May 4.

ceeded in reaching the Dvina river near
Dubena launched fire craft equipped with
motors which carried them up the river
almost to the Dvinsk piers.
Chief interest in the military situation
centers today on Minsk and Dvinsk. The
former city is the point to which Gen.

the junction of the Minsk- Moscow and
the Minsk-Gomel railways. 1t is an i'm

waste by the retreating Russian army.
As the Bavarians and Prussians ad-
