ITALY DECLARES
WAR ON AUSTRIA
Germany Stands With Her
Ally and Recalls Ambas-
sador From Rome

London, May PA Berlin dis
patch, by way of Amsterdam, an
nounces that the German ambassa-
dor, Prince Won Buelow, has been
instructed to leave Rome conformity
with the Austro-Hungarian ambass-
ador.
Rome, May 23.-Italy declared
war on Austria today. The Italian
senate last night, by a vote of 262
to 2. passed the bill of Premier
Salandra granting plenary powers
to the government in dealing with
the situation that has arisen through
Italy and Austria being unable to
reach an agreement concerning the
demands Italy has made upon Aus
tria.
When the vote, which virtually
assures Italy's entry into the war,
was announced there was great
demonstration of enthusiasm inside
the senate chamber shouts of Long
live Italy" intermingling with cheer
ing and handelapping of the sena-
tors, the ministers, army and navy
officers and the people in the gal
leries. King Victor Emmanuel and
members of the royal househo
Witnessed the demonstration.
A Havas dispatch from Rome
says: The final document in the
green book issued by the Italian
government is the note sent by For
eign Minister Sonnino to the Duke
of Avarna, Italian ambassador at
Vienna, annulling the triple alliance.
The note, which was communicated
to Baron Burian, Austrian foreign
minister, on May 4, closes with the
following statement:
"All efforts of the Italian govern
ment encounter the resistance of the
imperial Austrian government,
which after several months decides
to concede only the special interests
of Italy in Avlona and to promise in
sufficient concession of territory in
Trent-a concession which admits
OF no normal solution of the situa-
from an ethical, political or military
point OF view. This concession,
moreover, would not be accomplished
except at an undetermined period;
that is to say, only at the end of the
war.
Withdraws from Alliance
I'm view of this condition of af-
fairs, the Italian government must
renounce the hope of reaching an
agreement and sees itself con-
strained to withdraw all propositions
OF settlement. 1t is equally useless
10 give a formal appearance to an
alliance which would be destined
only to dissimulate a reality of con-
tinued mistrust and daily disagree
ments. That Is why Italy, confident
OF its right. affirms and proclaims it
will resume from now on its entire
liberty OF action and declares null
and hereafter without effect its
treaty with Austria Hungary"
Breescia, Italy, May 21.-The
Austrians evidently consider that a
state of war between the dual mon
arehy and Italy already exists. The
Austrians have withdrawn their
troops and customs guards from the
frontier at Ponte-Caffaeto and LODI
rome after destroying the bridges,
the telegraph and telephone lines
aud the electric light apparatus.
Other bridges on the frontier have
been mined.
From Ponte-Caffaeto and Lodrone
two roads pass over the frontier and
serve for communication between
Italy and Austria.
On the neighborlng mountains
Austrian artillery can be seen.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
FLoRETTA AND BABY sRUIN.

am going to take Floretta to the
picnic" said Grace Rider to her moth
er, because all the other girls are go
ing to carry their dolls"
Floretta was not nearly so pretty as
the French dolls with fluffy hair and
eyes that open and close, but she was
coed and substantial, for she had been
made by Graces grandmother ami was
the first doll that Grace had when she
was a little baby. Her grandmother
had made it out of cloth in the house
and the hair was initiated by feather
stitch embroidery in brown cotton and
the eyes were round, black shot but
tons, and inside the. cloth which made
the body F'loretta was filled with wool
which had been sheared from one of
the sheep on the farm.
When everything was ready for the
picnic and Graces big brother Joe had
called from the yard door that he was
waiting with the horse and carriage,
Grace took FlOretta in her arms and
her father helped her into the carriage
in the back of which had already been
placed the big covered basket, which
contained the contribution Graces
mother had made to the picnic feast
When Grace got to the grove there
were dozens of other little girls like
herself all ready for the outing with
their dolls. All day they played until
every little girl was tired and Grace
was pretty nearly ready to fall asleep.
In fact, she was so tired that when
brother Joe said he would look after
the baskets and Floretta, Grace was
perfectly willing TO leave it to him,
and did not ask any questions as to
what he did with them. Put big bro
theirs are sometimes forgetful, and
while he picked up the basket and put
it in the back of the carriage, he left
FlOretta sitting on the ground with her
back against tree and no way of let
ting Grace know she had been forgot

herself.

head that Baby Bruin would probably
be very much pleased if she could have
a doll Of her own, for you know baby
bears are very affectionate little folks
and love to hug things and cuddle up
to them.
SO Madam Bear took Floretta under
her arm and started as fast as she
could for the den, where she had left
Baby Bruin, and when she got into
the cave and Baby Bruin saw what her
mother had brought her she acted al
most like any little girl with a new
doll. She licked Florettas face and
after she had admired her as much as
she wanted she lay down on the bed
of boughs and went fast asleep with
Floretta clasped in her arms.
The next morning when all the ami
mails came to the tree again for anOth-
er look at FlOretta, of course, they did
not find her; but some days after
when they saw Baby Bruin walking
through the woods on her hind legs
carrying FlOretta in her arms and
were told by Madam Bear that Flo
retta had been bought at a very large
price for her only child they knew
that Madam Bear was not very truth
full and they knew also that a rag doll
was nothing to be afraid of after all

drive away with the little girls and
their dolls until at last Floretta found
herself all alone in the wood with no
one near her. She had never had such
an experience before, and shealid not
know whether to be frightened Or not.
1t was not long before she heard
two squirrels chatting in the tree
above her.
Did you ever hear such a racket as
we have had all day today?" said one
squirrel. 4 haven't dared to look out
of my hole since early morning. And
now that they have gone want to so
down on the ground and get a little
+ exercise and something to eat
And down both squirrels came as
fast as they could. They came SO fast
that they saw her.
What do you suppose that is?'
asked one squirrel.
q am. sure l don't know" said the
other, but perhaps the owl can tell us
after dark when he is able to see it.
! The squirrels chartered so loudly
about Floretta that very soon all the
birds and the animals in the wood
knew that something strange had been
left at the foot of the oak tree, and
they came in crowds to see it.
Floretta was quite annoyed by the
way the animals stared at her, and
when the owl came hooting through
the woods she was really very much
! frightened
The owl lighted on the ground in
front OF her, and looking at first one
side and then the other. he seemed to
be trying to make up his mind when
and where he had ever seen anything
like Floretta before. And finally, wise
as he was, he announced that he would
have to give it up, and it looked like
a tiny baby, but it didn't cry, and it
did not move any, anyway, it wasn't
very pretty, and the animals had bet
ter let it alone for a while, and see if
it grew into anything So all the ami
mails decided not to disturb FlOretta
and each went home to go to bed.
They had all been gone for some lit
tie time when Old Madam Bear came
walking through the wood. Il wish |
could find something to comfort Baby
Bruin,' she said. Il have looked ev-
erywhere for some anise or a sprig
of peppermint" Just then her eye fell
upon Floretta Now Madam Bear had
taken many a trip to the edge of the
wood in search of food and from a dis
tance she had seen the children play
ing in the fields and she knew in a
minute that Floretta was a doll, and
the idea Immediately popped into her
