Copenhagen, May IA declaration Of
war by Italy is expected hourly in Der
lin, says advices received here from the
German capital. The Italian situation
is regarded there as most serious.
Rome May IAN uneensored dis
patch from Vienna says that the pro-
cial Austrian envoy to Rome, has been
abandoned, since, even if undertaken, it
would be ineffective to delay war. Even
further Austrian concessions could not
possibly avert a rupture now.
1t is believed here that break in
Italo- Austrian relations may occur at
any moment, and will inevitably come
before May IL. 1t is possible that it
may be FASTENED by the Italian govern
ment.
There is evidence in the closing of
the German archaeological institute at
tached to the German embassy here, that
the Austro- Italian situation is regarded
as very grave by the kaiser's govern
ment.
1t was announced here yesterday that
Italy and Servia have reached an agree
ment regarding an outlet for Servia on
the Adriatic
Dispatches from Nish earlier yesterday
said that Servian political circles were
decidedly anxious over Italy's intentions
regarding the Dalmatian coast.
Italian claims to the Trentino and
lstria are cordially Endorsed, but Serv-
ians viewed with much alarm Italy's
extension of her ambitions to the Dali
matian islands and the Dalmation coast.
Fear was expressed that Servia might
be barred from the rewards she might
reasonably expect in that direction in
return for her sacrifices in this war.
Austrias reply to ltaly's peremptory |
demands for certain territorial acquisi |
tions as the price OF the latters neu-
trality was expected to be made known |
yesterday. 1t was prophesied here the |
ltaly's demands will only be met in part /
by the Austrian government and that |
Italy's intervention on the side of the |
allies in inevitable. The king has or
dered suspension of all furloughs in |
the army.
In an audience granted recently to
Piedmontese friend, Pope Benedict XIV
is said to have declared that Italian
Intervention was imminent and that he
regretted it very deeply, as it was bound
TO cause the spread OF the war through
out Europe. Pope Benedict stated that
one serious result of a universal war
in Europe would be that there would
be no neutral nations left to act as medi-
ators when the time came to negotiate
for peace.
Italian papers everywhere are calling
attention to the recent outburst of en-
thusiasm that was shown at the unveil-
ing of the Garibald memorial They
state that this proves that there is
union OF feeling among all parties which
has been caused by patriotism and which
means that the Italian people will be
soidly united in the event of war.
