Italy Free to Open War
Without Formalities

Paris, May 22.-It is considered
that Austria's action in destroying the
bridges and cutting telegraph and
telephone lines at Pont Caffaro and
Codrone can be held to constitute a
casus belli, making Italy free to open
hostilities without further diplomatic
formalities. says Gaulois dispatch
from Turin.
Pont Caffaro is a short distance
north of Riva, the extreme northern
point in Austria on Lake Garda. Aus
trian troops were withdrawn after the
civil population had been forced to
evacuate Riva and other sections of
Venezia under Austrian rule.
